- TriviaEugene tells Mork that he saw a ship captain perform a marriage in a movie. Although he doesn't give any clues as to what the movie was about, The African Queen (1951) contains what is arguably the best known example of such a scene in popular culture. While fictional services such as the Orkan Navy may allow ship captains to grant marriages, in reality captains do not have this power. The notion can be found in fictional works throughout the 20th century, and doubtlessly some people have been "married" in such contexts, only to find out later that the marriage has no legal force. Most navies strictly forbid their captains from performing marriages. Although there have been a few cases of land-based authorities recognizing a marriage performed by a ship captain (whether military or civilian), they are few and far between, and involve exceptional circumstances.
- GoofsEven if the Orkan Navy allows its Captains to perform marriages (see trivia), logically this power would only apply if they are aboard ship in international waters and/or interplanetary space. Ever since Mork's ship disintegrated on arrival in Pilot (1978) (as shown in each opening montage), he is no longer an active Captain. Even in fiction, the Captain does not have shipboard powers on land. Mindy's attic would be in the jurisdiction of Boulder city laws, regardless of fictional Orkan custom.

Featured review
A very young Tammy Lauren
"Young Love" opens with Mork's 'main munchkin' Eugene (Jeffrey Jacquet) running away from home because of what he considers a tyrannical mother who wants him to drink milk and swallow his liver. A sympathetic Mork sides with Eugene, and freely admits that he hasn't tasted broccoli in three 'bleams': "and I still haven't swallowed it!" At the music store, pretty little Holly (Tammy Lauren) is upset with her mother for making her take piano lessons, and when Eugene spots her it's apparently love at first sight, as she smiles at being called hot, a doll, a fox, and 'cute poultry' (cute chick). Eugene figures that married people have it all, so Mork agrees to preside over a wedding for he and Holly in his attic pad before they run away together. Tammy Lauren was later a regular on the short lived Mork spin off OUT OF THE BLUE, and continues to be busy in television to this day.
