""My Dad Can't Beat Up Anybody" finds Mearth enjoying his first movie, the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN, with daddy Mork losing respect because he can't fly. Once the planet Krypton gets mentioned, Mindy has to prevent Mork from telling their son about the planet Ork, unsure of Mearth's reaction to being an alien. In order to regain his place in the household, and avoid his obsession with GENERAL HOSPITAL, Mork endeavors to get a job like Mindy's (Superman of course had two jobs) but learns his only qualification as a night watchman is that he gets along with the Dob..."
