Celebrity Toons: Mork, PI (1982)

 From the Mork & Mindy animated prequel.

Football lineman Tyler is having trouble learning. It's not known if he had issues with, say, dyslexia, or something else, but the fear of losing his spot on the football team prompts him to take a risk, and, at the same time, Mork (Robin Williams) is framed for the crime.

Stan Jones (Richie Rich, Super Friends) is credited as Principal Caruthers, but in this case, the principal sounds more like Bill Woodson.

Dick Tufeld leads us into "Mork, PI":


The reason I brought up the prospect of dyslexia with Tyler is because Archie Comics' Marmaduke "Moose" Mason was later diagnosed with the learning disorder, and it was news at the time. Tyler might've thought he was clever enough to get away with it, but, nope.

Rating: B-.
