The title of this show is right on the button, because it truly is spacey. How it stayed popular, I don't know.

Wickedly brilliant show. Great cast, sharp writing, original premise. Probably suffered from a bit of over-exposure when shown daily. Much better in small (weekly) doses.

I thought it was funny..My son thought it was stupid.

Kind of goofy, but still really funny. Some of the aspects of aliens learning to live in human bodies were just hilarious. Although a very few episodes got weird enough to make me change the channel.

I liked this show, it was original in some ways and querky in others. Then I watched the last episode and I can't bring my self to watch it any more.

Another television series that gave several chances; however, I could never get into "3rd Rock From The Sun". I usually like John Lithgow (Dick Solomon), but his character just got too excessive and over the top. Moreover, the overall comedic style of the show just didn't appeal to me, seeming to be overly slapstick and silly. As a prior reviewer noted, the concept hinted at the Beverly Hillbillies from space.

It was light, funny and just plain silly. A good show to watch after a hard day at work.

Pretty funny show with a great cast. I enjoyed watching the aliens develope their human behavoirs. John Lithgow rocks in comedy!
angelaah 12/06/2005
Hilarious!
Randyman 05/07/2005
Kind of goofy, but I liked it. John Lithgow was the whole show though.

What the freak??? why is this show was down at lvl 36??? This show is funny as hell.
irishgit 03/25/2005
Stupid, but had a curious charm. Lithgow was usually worth watching.

Take the lamest and most unfunny aspects of Mork & Mindy, Coneheads, ALF, and My Favorite Martian, mix 'em up, hold your nose, and you get this pile of crapola.
disgust4PCness 01/23/2005
Somebody help me...where is the quality in this show? I tried and couldn't get more than five minutes into an episode before falling asleep or turning the channel in disgust. Help me! Were those who loved the show completely clueless and fooled by heavy marketing of an absurd show? I don't get it.

The others are good but John Lithgow makes this show what it is. It is verry funny at first, but can get a little old.
Kristenx81 08/13/2004
3rd Rock from the Sun was a big guilty pleasure of mine at first, but it got old very quickly. I stopped watching in 1999 after NBC cancelled the brilliant NewsRadio, but kept this show on. I think it's OK to watch if nothing else is on. Very overrated.

This show was realy good when it first came out, then it went downhill.

I was a big fan of this show, but it went downhill when Tommy cut his hair.

Go boy meets world!!!!

Annoying actors, but some of the story lines were very interesting. John Lithgow was always kinda wierd anyway, and even more so on this show. But the show was tolerable and funny at times. It is in heavy syndication for those of you who would like to watch it. :)
Cat_Mom03 05/16/2003
Kinda dull..
President -X-D 05/12/2003
I really can't stand that squinty guy, slouchy girl or the ugly kid. Lithgow and Curtin are fine.

Well at least it's better than Rosie......
jdsteffen 03/20/2003

The stupidist show on TV, just hideous
joana6283 02/12/2003
It is soooo boring!
HEIDLEEHOPE 02/09/2003
Love this show...still watch it...all the actors make this show very realistic....
Kendra_Cmm 01/07/2003
Tom, Dick, and Harry. I always found the three names of the guys unoriginal; Other than that the show was great. The cast was excellantly chosen and the storyline itself was very creative and original. Watching Lithgow I could really believe he was learning things for the first time. His teaching skills were outlandishly hillarious as well. I really loved watching Dick interact with mary and actually manage to snag her with practically no knowledge of how people fall in love. Now there are some mad skills!
red630 12/10/2002
Not a bad show, but really this was just the Beverly Hillbillies from space.
zuchinibut 12/09/2002
John Lithgow is talented and funny, but after a while his bit got very tiring. The rest of the cast was more annoying than talented, and the whole aliens come to Earth bit got old when they never left.
NewsRadio_Fan 10/24/2002
This show sucked!!! NewsRadio was so much better, but it was always overlooked because of this stupid crap.

Kristen Johnsten..... *drool*

Ancient Greek writers used to say that true comedy pokes fun at the faults of human nature, without being clearly insulting. That is exactly what this show did. It took four beings from outside earth, turned them into humans, and gave them personalities and emotions that they did not understand.
djbuddha 07/10/2002
I could never get into this show. Occasionally I found it funny, but most of the time I felt that I'd wasted 30 minutes of my life.
SCSAchik 06/06/2002
3rd Rock From the Sun is SOOO hilarious. They're so clueless, it's funny!
LoneUSFullHous eFan 04/30/2002
Second Seinfeld, a huge step up from Freinds. I can't believe it did not last as long as Seinfeld. A powerfull comedic yet probative look into the inter workings of human society from an outsider's point of view. Lithgow is excellent as the 40 year old 'child' of the show (figure it out).
whitedevil311 03/20/2002
This show was great and I was sad to see it go but at least they knew when to pull the pug unlike some shows that are still on....
Cliveman3902 03/14/2002
This show was pretty good, but not that great
CAgirl 12/12/2001
Piece of unfunny crap that never should have aired.
CastleBee 12/09/2001
Interesting premise which took me so long to warm up to that it had nearly run its course before I decided to actually set through a few eps. My overall impression is that it could be funny, but was mostly over the top and a tad too intense for my liking. Had a tendancy to lapse easily into moronic simplicity, tired old sex jokes and just plain silliness - which was rarely witty or even all that clever. IMO it should have been axed sometime around the two year mark.
couchpotato 12/09/2001
What a show. I adore this cast. They look at human life the way it really is - totally messed up. Why did they stop doing this show? There's always something to laugh at in every episode.
Galomorro 11/20/2001
Hilarious. I laugh out loud. It's different and I still regularly watch the re-runs.
bitemyscab 08/14/2001

daryl_ray_clet us 07/26/2001

One who cannot appreciate the comedy of Third Rock from the Sun, is not open-minded enough or is not ready for such a great show. 3rd Rock brings a whole new dimension to the world of sitcoms. It has a unique style that can only be appreciated by true fans of slapstick, and people who can identify the meaning of comedy and jokes. In fact, the main reason why 3rd Rock got cancelled, is because it is a very innovative show for the era we live in. It brakes from the usual format of "urban-based comedies and dramas revolving around photogenic yuppies". And that is why it has gotten so many harsh reviews from people during its short 6 years. It's sad to see a great comedy get cancelled, as NBC never appreciated it and never gave 3rd Rock its deserving respect and recognition. Basically, "3rd Rock" was a sitcom that could have given us much more, if only we had accepted more openly, but society just wasn't prepared for such level of style and humour. Maybe in the future....
Snoopy 07/08/2001
I've always found this show over-rated and extremely annoying.
smurfie 05/25/2001
This show is a refreshing break from the formulaic sitcom shows on tv today. I watch whenever I can and record it when I can't. Thanks for the laughs!!
nygelray 05/17/2001
it is very funny!
mschleisner 05/13/2001
started out great but of late got stupid.
callmetootie 04/09/2001
3rd Rock From The Sun is an extremly bad show. The humor is extremly goofy and unfunny, and the acting is terrible. It has bad qualities and should have never aired. However, Jane Curtin is an extremly funny actress, just not on this.
