3rd Rock from the Sun - Season 1
It is a series of wonderful comedy events and science fiction. The events of this series begin with a group of foreigners who have decided to come to the earth to learn about their people and their customs. These invisible people tried to take on a human form that gave them human emotions and physical needs. There seems to be something missing that they do not understand what they mean or the barriers that are usually found in humans. It may be very strange through non-human reactions that turn daily events into seemingly strange situations.

The cast deserves more consistently funny material. Even extraterrestrials shouldn't have to work this hard for laughs.

Cast generally rises above the material, with Lithgow a sort of cross between Steve Martin and Matt Frewer, and tall, raspy-voiced [Kristen] Johnston a real find. [Jane] Curtin is fine, but somewhat wasted as an uptight professor.

Sadly, Lithgow - one of our finer actors - is often reduced to over-the-top, scenery-chewing histrionics in "3rd Rock." If he isn't embarrassed by this show and his performance in it, he ought to be.

Lots of gauche My Favorite Martian humor, but with '90s smut.

The new comedy 3rd Rock From the Sun is potentially a hit the size of Jupiter, and played as broadly.
May 03, 2018
If you can get past the sense that somebody wrote much of this with a Victoria's Secret catalog close at hand, there's actually a charming and perceptive comedy lurking inside, a neat counterpoint to all those series about urbanites on the make.

Lithgow is effortlessly funny doing silly physical comedy, everything from getting tipsy on cough medicine to squeezing into leather pants. And his chemistry with Jane Curtin, as a fellow academician, is charmingly light.

Intelligently written and well acted, 3rd Rock generates lots of laughs as viewers look at humanity through the aliens' unique point of view.

I'd love to recommend this show unreservedly but until its scripts improve a notch, it's more like an extended sketch, and I find myself caught between a "Rock" and a hard place.

There have been worse shows on television, maybe worse shows from even more unexpected sources. But it's hard to imagine.
