Editorial Reviews

A group of aliens have 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Series - Best Deal May 15, 2007

By Jonathan Schaefer

Format:DVD

They weren't the best on continuity - they left plenty of loose ends after they left Earth, but face it - this was one of the best sitcoms ever on tv. They had the best cast and they best angle. I haven't had this many laugh out louds in years. I know Lithgow is the 'star' but everyone is in this series -- watching Tommy grow up is a trip in itself. Sally and her ever changing relationship with Don and the best of the crew, for me, is Harry. Living in a literal world and flat out slap stick comedy. It's very strange to see him in the bonuses, however, and see him with his eyes OPEN.

It's just simple, a little dirty and a different perspective of earth and the inhabitants with an talented cast. The most incredible actor is Jane Curtain start to finish; at times you just can't fathom how this woman can go from point A to D to JKLMOP then Y, Z in 4.2 seconds flat and she makes it look so easy. That's comedic timing and a woman with absolutely NO SHAME.

It's well worth the bucks and much better than ANYTHING currently on tv.

5.0 out of 5 stars great show August 23, 2007

By Amir Karbasi

Format:DVD

I just finished watching all 6 seasons and I must say that this is a great show. Throughout the seaons, you grow with the characters and you experience many great feelings. Also, this show has a couple of big episodes such as the 1 hours 3D episode, the superbowl show, and the finale!
A great gift for any comedy lover.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm confused... March 17, 2012

By JeepNut

Format:DVD

Can anyone explain the differences between the various 3rd Rock options on Amazon?
This one contains 6 Seasons and says 1996 as the date and is literally HUNDREDS of dollars.
Then elsewhere on Amazon are seasons 1 through 3 for $6 or $8.
Then elsewhere on Amazon are various season 4 versions.
One of them says it's 2006 and is $50ish.
One says its 2012 and is $7.
Several say it's in stock.
Other places it says it won't even be released for another month.
What gives?

6 seasons x $8 makes a 6 season set $50. That is more like it.
But why in the world would someone advert the six season set for $599??
I would like the entire series but I'm TOTALLY unwilling to pay that kind of ridiculous price for an aged TV show. Who would? Please explain.
Thanks!
