3rd Rock from the Sun

jmcharries · 09-18-2010, 09:12 PM

Description: A group of aliens has come to Earth to learn about its population, customs, etc. To avoid detection, they have taken on human form which gives them human emotions, physical needs etc. WITHOUT the understanding of what they mean or the inhibitions normally present in humans. Their leader takes the position of a college professor, their military expert as his sister, their intelligence expert, supposedly oldest of group takes form of his teenage son. The uninhibited reactions turn everyday events into unusual situations.

So, did anybody else watch this show? I thought it was hilarious (in fact, I have all the season on DVD and am watching them now). I can hardly believe it start almost 15 years ago. It had a great cast (John Lithgow, French Stewart, Kristen Johnston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jane Curtin) and the concept gave it virtually unlimited story lines. Anybody else a fan?

I have seen a few episodes. Is it on re-runs?

They will occasionally play marathons of it on TV Land but nobody is currently playing reruns regularly to my knowledge. I have to watch it on DVD.

Boy, I really miss this show.

AlexStef · 09-21-2010, 03:20 PM

I remember this show. I used to watch it back in the day and it was one of my favorites at that moment.
I was so happy to see John Litgow on Dexter last year

Well story sounds like a movie but don't know which one. But above all the show might be quite interesting to watch.
