Larry Mintz together with writing partner Alan Eisenstock contributed 3 (4 if you count Mork Vs. The Necrotons as a 2 parter) scripts to the show from Season 2 and Season 4, as well as garnering a contributing writer credit for the compilation episode 'The Way Mork Were'.
Mintz & Eisenstock were not part of the Mork & Mindy writers room, but had been collaborating with Garry Marshall and Dale McRaven on their latest production Angie. Their script for Season's 2 Mork Vs. The Necrotons was network dictated as part of the 'jiggle factor' ABC was going for, and for many of the writers in the Mork & Mindy room, it felt it was parachuted into the show with no real understanding of the show. As a result it is not terribly fondly remembered by cast or crew, and is viewed as another reason for the slide in the ratings that year as the show veered further away from what it had been.
They were called on again however in Season 4, this time contributing a more beloved entry in The Wedding, Mork suffering his canine transformation at the hands of a disapproving Orson, before Mindy's plea, sees the pair safely down the aisle, in an episode that still makes the lists of Best TV Weddings.
Their final entry was the actual Season 4 finale, before it was cancelled by ABC and The Mork Report inserted instead. The cliffhanger ending of Gotta Run, Part 3, that sees Mork & Mindy escaping the murderous Kalnik into pre-history, and then with a set of malfunctioning time travel shoes, tossed through time, with a view to further adventures that unfortunately never materialized.

Repetition is also at the foundation of Larry Mintz’s definition: “episodes involving recurrent characters within the same premise . . . The episodes are finite . . . The most important aspect of the sitcom structure is the cyclical nature of the normalcy of the premise undergoing stress or threat of change and becoming restored” (114-115).
