3rd Rock from the Sun
There's a new family in town. They're not from another city... They're from another planet.
Created by Terry Turner, Bonnie Turner
On NBC
A warmly irreverent sitcom built on the fish-out-of-water premise of aliens learning to be human, sustained across 139 episodes by genuine affection for its core cast and their relationships.
The high commander of an alien expedition lands on Earth -- what he considers to be the least-important planet -- in human form as Dick Solomon. Along for the ride are his alien compatriots Harry, Sally and Tommy -- who is the eldest of the group but is now angrily trapped in a teen's body.
