3rd Rock from the Sun - Season 1
The story tells of a series of wonderful comedies that we live through a group of foreigners who once decided to come to earth to learn about their people, their customs and their lives. These foreigners wanted to become involved in the planet, taking a human form that would give them human emotions and physical needs. This behavior may be very good, but they do not understand what it means or the barriers usually found in humans, which puts them in a real dilemma. Now, these people provide unexpected reactions to humans that make things more comedy.

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.

Lots of gauche My Favorite Martian humor, but with '90s smut.
May 03, 2018
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.

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

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

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.

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.
May 03, 2018
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.

The new comedy 3rd Rock From the Sun is potentially a hit the size of Jupiter, and played as broadly.
