3rd Rock from the Sun (season 1)
{5/5} “Excuse me, but there’s something about the thickness of your neck and the broadness of your shoulders that makes me think you’d be an agile hunter and provide well for our children.” — Sally
3rd Rock from the Sun season 1, aired in 1996
Dick, Sally, Harry, and Tommy are from another planet — they’ve taken the form of humans to study the human race. Dick is a professor of physics and finds his office mate Mary intriguing. Tommy goes to school and attempts to make out with a girl. Sally takes charge of a bake sale and treats the mothers like soldiers. After failing at many things, Harry finds something he’s good at — art.
The characters’ reactions to new things like sneezing, Kleenex boxes, and Jello are delightful.
The wacky theme song by Ben Vaughn is perfect.
The comedic timing of the main actors is superb, and they put together a cast that works well together. Of course, John Lithgow is the funniest.
I like how the 4 aliens sit on their roof in the evening to talk about their day.
I actually remember some of these episodes, which tells you how good they are.
