3rd Rock From The Sun S5
Led by the towering, borderline-demented Dick Solomon (John Lithgow), a crew of aliens land on Earth, adopt human form, and proceed to fit in seamlessly with us human type people. Well... not so much.
Good quality sci-fi sitcoms are thin on the ground, but we're delighted to say that 3rd Rock from the Sun still has every ounce of manic energy and quirky wit that it had when it was first broadcast.
Indeed, not only did John Lithgow get nominated for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy every year that 3rd Rock aired (winning three out of the six), but he has also claimed two Oscar nominations in his time. Not bad.

- Sally Solomon
- Kristen Johnston

The leggy, busty, brassy blonde bombshell of the group, Sally Solomon is actually only female because her original (asexual) alien form lost a bet! Nevertheless, while the female of the human species is understandably even tougher to work out than the male, she soon starts to revel in it.
-
- Harry Solomon
- French Stewart

In a show about aliens in human form, struggling to get used to our bizarre Earth ways, Harry Solomon is unquestionably the one that struggles more than any other.

Artistic or autistic? It's a fine line...

The sagacity of his years, mixed with the unstable alchemy of teen hormones, makes for an intriguing and hilarious combination!
