A teenaged Mork is sent to Earth from planet Ork to observe the lives of human teenagers and enroll in a local school. As on the original show, Mindy McConnell and her father Fred are the only Earthlings who know that he is an alien and he sends telepathic reports of his experiences to Orkan ruler Orson . Unlike the original show, Mork is accompanied by his Orkan pet, a pink, six-legged dog-like creature named Doing which is pronounced as "Doyng".
