4.0 out of 5 stars Aliens can be fun., 30 May 2004
By L. Heath (Battersea, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The transition from television to dvd is often all or nothing at all. The wait for dvd boxsets of - Roseanne, Golden Girls, Cybill and The Nanny appears endless. Some shows receive a one yearly release - Fraiser.

The completely silly but adorable 3rd Rock has changed this longwinded trend and is being unleashed at a relentless pace with full season sets only one month apart - how great is this.

The plot of Aliens disguised as humans divided some viewers, but the laughs were priceless and more importantly consistent. Yeah ‘Friends’ looked good, but each season was too hit and miss and I certainly lost interest. Long season sit-coms need frequent laugh out loud moments. John Lithgow and Co didn't care how they looked as long as they made the gag work.

3rd Rock was never scared to poke fun at stereotypes and this is where the greatest laughs were had. Kristen Johnson’s male alien assigned the less superior role of ‘the woman’ made the biggest impression.

Great to see another funny American sit-com arrive to the world of dvd, even if the extras are missing, but we’re used to this by now.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time, 6 Jul 2004
By L O'connor (richmond, surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
At last this wonderful series has appeared on DVD. The story of a group of aliens staying on Earth disguised as a highly dysfunctional Earth family. The High Commander becomes Dick Solomon, professor of Physics at a mediocre university. The Security officer becomes his glamorous and tough sister Sally. The information officer, the oldest member of the party, becomes Dick's teenage son Tommy. And Harry - well, they had an extra seat. All the actors in this series are wonderful, from John Lithgow (Dick Solomon) to wonderful Elmarie Wendel as the Solomons' landlady, Mrs Dubcek, a woman with a past. Many of the funniest episdoes are in this first series, as the Solomons struggle to understand earth and its inhabitants. I particularly like the one where Sally gets drawn into the bizzare world of cosmetics, and Harry gets a job selling a revolting skincare product for men 'Orca - made from whales' Dick's (at first) unrequited passion for his university colleague Dr. Mary Allbright (Jane Curtin) provides some of the series funniest moments. I love the episode where she takes him to a wedding with her, and when she is describing the ceremony to him he asks "and right after the ceremony, does the bride devour the groom?" "Oh no", she replies "that's a process that takes years." And then there's the episode where Dick gets snowed up with Mary in a cafe miles from anywhere, and Sally thinks the human race has perished and she'll have to repopulate the earth with Dick's dopey student Leon, and - oh well, every episode is funny, the whole cast is great, the sxcripst are wonderful. It's pure joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best show that was on tv and still is the best!!!, 26 Jun 2004
3rd Rock From the Sun was/is the best show on tv. It show's how we look at life. On other sitcoms they play the soap opera card. Which means, they try to make you feel for a character, but these are sitcom characters. Whenever 3rd Rock the soap card, they always back it up with something funny. John Lithgow is the best actor in the world. I also like Kristen Johnston, French Stewart, Joey Gordon-Levitt, and the rest of the cast.
I just want to thank the cast for making the show so brilliant and outrageously funny. So thank you John, Kristen, French, Joey, Simbi, Elmarie, Wayne, Jane, and the guest stars. Thank you.
