krakatau-48313 And so I ended with one of my favorite comedy sagas, and the feeling of some emptiness once again covered me. It's true it's not as long as "Married with children," in which you just see how the young grow, but that is also long еnaugh - six years. And just as funny. The sweet aliens who entered in the earthly world, comically describe our shortcomings, feelings, and everything else, in many places they drove me laugh out loud, something, that the current comedies rarely achieve.
Dave This sitcom is about a group of aliens who land on earth. They settle in suburban Ohio - where they live in an attic apartment, pretending to be a human family. John Lithgow is excellent as the protagonist, the group's high commander, whose human character is Dick Solomon, the father of the family and a physics professor at a university.
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?
mindbender2302 "When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles, and the bottle's in a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles, they call this a muddle puddle tweedle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle.... This man's a genius." - Dick Solomon - Four aliens. One semi-alcoholic lover. A sarcastic assistant. A cowardly incompetent but lovable cop. A nymphomaniac land lady. An even more nymphomaniac land lady's daughter. William Shatner! The above statements sumarize everything that is 3rd Rock from the Sun, and it is, for the lack of better word, it's GORGEOUS.From covering various topics, ranging from catching a cold to fighting a rival alien from home planet to win the heart of one's wee-body-lass, this show has hit every single apex in the racetrack that is a comedy show.True that this show has a few sex-oriented humour, so what? Panic, chaos, compassion, love, laughter, tears, doing-the-worst-possible-thing-while-trying-to-do-the-best, more panic, thermal-bond-epoxy, and even more panic are somethings this show knows well about.Surprisingly, a majority of the dialogue that discusses physics are actually sound. And to see the students in the class dumb-founded is simply hilarious.This is a must see, and a must see again and again for all.
