Alicia I love this movie so much

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

John Brooks At first, the immediate problem posed by the prospect of this series is: sure they can manage one good season or two, but just how "feasible" will they actually make this series as a whole from a quality standpoint ? How much sheer quality can the producers squeeze out of this plot and environment before it runs out of puff and merely serves as filler content just looking at familiar friendly faces ?The answer is: the whole way. As promising as the first season is, 3rd Rock from the Sun just maintains a level of comedy, philosophical depth and critical writing all the way down to the sixth season and to the very final episode. The characters, initially hilarious in concept during the first batch of episodes, are written with a perfect continuity and coherence in execution.Speaking of the characters: one of the traits of a great series is not only how well written the main protagonists are, but how much utter joy the secondary characters can provide within their constraints and limited air time. Here, all of Don the cop, the land-lady "Kupchek" and her daughter, the Big Giant Head, or some of the professors at the college are all absolute delights to watch and add that extra depth and flavor to the episodes. The main leading roles as well as the supporting cast are very efficiently utilized and their potential well optimized. They never feel stale or redundant in their roles, despite being solicited at a high frequency. The show bases its strength on pure comedy, script and dialog - very similar to a play - and the actors basically support the entire edifice: there aren't any lengthy action scenes or other plot distractions that supply any potential leeway for the actors, it's all them and it's constant comedy and they all do brilliantly, with a laudable consistency. And any time the story is thrust to the foreground, the writers (a married couple, providing both inputs of female as well as masculine intelligent sensitivities) always manage to give it that comic relief that reminds the viewers exactly what they're watching and why they're watching it. It's comedy for the sake of comedy, and arguably, that's the only true comedy.That being said, a series can be true pure comedy but all the while dishing out interesting perspectives and morals. You can laugh out loud, enjoy the ridiculousness of the various proposed situations, savor the acting of a John Lithgow or Wayne Knight or Kristen Johnson being extreme caricatures... but then heed the underlying or final moral, and the show still hasn't pushed a political bias or any kind of partisan social commentary. The concept of 3rd Rock from the Sun was the perfect framework to supply copious amounts of delectable humor as extraterrestrials discover modern America, but also the immeasurably interesting prospect of aliens understanding the human condition through their lens - the perfect context for politically incorrect humor, and deep analysis of the human mind and society.9/10. Pure excellence.

Gary Taalbot Thank you Channel 4 for re-running 3rd rock from the sun. Having missed the series first time around it was great to have another chance to discover it. Most people have wondered if aliens will ever visit earth. 3rd Rock imagines what would happen if a family of aliens actually did come to earth. Their mission is to study earth and report back to "The Big Giant Head" via Harry Solomon. Watching the Solomon family attempt to understand humans creates many funny moments. William Shatners' cameos as "The Big Giant Head" are hilarious, especially when The Big Giant Head turns out to be Dick Solomons' father. 3rd Rock also has my favorite TV theme tune. It has a rock and roll feel to it and is always fun to listen to.

SnoopyStyle Four aliens have come to Earth to research humans. Dick Solomon (John Lithgow) is the commander of the mission and he gets a job at the little local college. Sally (Kristen Johnston) is the security officer who is posing as Dick's sister. Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the intelligence officer who is bitter posing as Dick's horny teenage son. Harry (French Stewart) is the communication device who is posing as Dick's clueless brother. Dr. Mary Albright (Jane Curtin) is both angry and in love with the strange new professor Solomon. Other notable recurring stars include Wayne Knight as the hopeless Officer Don who is in lust for Sally. William Shatner is leader of the alien race The Big Giant Head. Jan Hooks is the promiscuous Vicki Dubcek.The foursome is hilarious. It is the usual fish out of water storyline. I love almost every episode. The biggest annoyance comes from a guest starring role with Roseanne Barr. She started the 3rd season and almost killed the show for me. Other than that, it had a good 5 seasons with mostly wild and crazy fun. This is from husband and wife team Terry and Bonnie Turner who also created another one of my favorite 'That '70s Show'. The sixth season has the problem of older grumpy teen JGL. He's too serious and is missing for much of the season. The chemistry is off but all shows must end eventually.

anthony-rigoni 3rd Rock from the Sun is highly hysterical and out of this world! This TV series is about 4 aliens: Dick(John Lithgow), Sally(Kristen Johnson), Harry(French Stewart), and Tommy(Joseph Gordon-Lewitt), who are on a mission to find out what our world is like while disguising as humans. While trying to fit in like us humans, Dick falls in love with Dr. Mary Albright(Jane Curtin) and Sally falls in love with a police officer named Don(Wayne Knight). See: The hilarious misadventures of our alien heroes! See: The comical love story of Dick and Mary. See: Dick with an endless collection of Fuzzy Buddies. Laugh: As the aliens tremble at the sight of Jell-O! Message ending in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ACHOO!! What did I miss?
