Actress Pam Dawber will appear on the CBS comedy “The Crazy Ones,” reuniting “Mork & Mindy” star Dawber with her former co-star Robin Williams.

On “Crazy,” Dawber will portray a daring travel writer, according to TV Guide. Williams’ character Simon meets and is attracted to Dawber’s character Lily when the two encounter each other at a book signing for Lily’s newest work titled “Ninety Countries, 90 Dances!”

“Crazy” stars Williams as unconventional advertising executive Simon and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star Sarah Michelle Gellar as his daughter who works at the same company. The show debuted this past fall and was picked up for a full first season by CBS soon after.

Williams turned to Twitter to express his happiness about the casting.

“The secret is out!” the actor tweeted. “Can’t wait to work with her again.”

Dawber and Williams’ sitcom ran on ABC from 1978 to 1982 and the alien character of Mork is often credited as being Williams’ breakout role. Dawber portrayed Mindy, Mork’s roommate and later wife. Actor Jonathan Winters played the couple’s child, who aged backwards.

According to TV Guide, the episode where Dawber and Williams meet will air sometime this spring.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
