Trivia

This was literally created because Robin Williams killed so hard in a Happy Days guest spot that Garry Marshall built an entire show around him in 72 hours.

Cultural

The 'Mork & Mindy' rainbow suspenders became a massive fad—Williams hated them, but wore them because kids kept sending pairs to the studio.
