Mork's lack of feelings is ruining Mindy's birthday, so she deliberately kisses him, unleashing Mork's wild, long-suppressed emotions and the innocent Orkan begins to experience for the first time, feelings of love and anger, joy and envy, hope and gratitude, and jealously and lust.

 MORK & MINDY: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON - DVD
Mork was a guest on a couple of episodes of "Happy Days" (another Garry Marshall-produced childhood fave best left undisturbed), so this suits him just fine, and after a chance meeting with Colorado college student Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber), he's found both a crash pad and a yin to his yang.
Working alongside him is Mindy's maternal grandmother, Cora (Elizabeth Kerr), whose level of feisty insouciance can be divined by her addressing Fred as "Fredzo" and referring to him as, yes, a "wiener." They provide the backbone of the set-up, conferring with Mindy and hemming and hawing over the walking disaster that is Mork.
The assumption is that Mork's ADD antics are too much for the easily-disturbed members of the home audience, therefore he must be tempered with horrific dullards in order to reassure them--the thought of a show devoted to Robin Williams' unchecked eccentricity is unthinkable in the straitjacket TV sensibilities of 1978.
