Boulder, Colorado, Was A Spur-Of-The-Moment Decision for the Mork & Mindy Show

Executive producer Garry Marshall didn’t  have a set location in mind when it came to Mork & Mindy. In fact, Boulder, Colorado, was a spur-of-the-moment decision that kind of popped into his head.

At the time, Marshall’s niece was attending school at the University of Colorado Boulder. The city popped into his head while writing the plot, and it stuck.
