3rd Rock from the Sun

1996–2001 · 6 seasons

A breezy, joke-dense sitcom where smug aliens bumble through ordinary life, making the everyday feel delightfully absurd.

Tagline: There's a new family in town. They're not from another city... They're from another planet.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Absurd, whimsical, light and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, isolation, found family, friendship
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
