Season three of the cult comedy sitcom 3rd Rock From the Sun has been delivered to Earth in a fancy box set comprising twenty-seven episodes of the TV show plus zany bonus material such as a colorful booklet entitled, A Guide To Living On Earth. Four DVDs further showcase the Solomon family, alien outcasts who have been sent to Earth to investigate human concerns. Equipped with the ability to feel human emotions but lacking the knowledge of how to handle them, 3rd Rock's Dick (John Lithgow), Sally (Kristen Johnson), Harry (French Stewart), and Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), take instructions from leader, Big Giant Head, but are often left to make sense out of chaos, creating settings for optimal comic effect. Masterfully written by co-creators Bonnie and Terry Turner (That 70s Show), 3rd Rock's original combination of smart wit and slapstick comedy is still hilarious ten years after the show's inception. The third season delves into core human experiences, namely love and fear. In a two-part episode kicking off the season, Dick is assigned a wife (Rosanne Barr) by Big Giant Head, disrupting his plan to marry his true love, human and co-star, Mary Albright (Jane Curtin). During a series of rude awakenings occurring over several episodes, Dick learns in trial-by-fire fashion that human trust isn't easily won back, as Mary repeatedly rejects his apologies for not confessing his secret. Subplots about Dick's attraction to Venusians and his hookup with a human woman (Auto Erodicka) temper his heartbreak with whimsical commentary on humankind's sexual nature. Highlights include the Halloween special "Scaredy Dick," in which the cast dress up, and Dick goes as a pirate to disguise his fear of getting a doctor's check-up. Also brilliant is "Just Your Average Dick," featuring a cameo appearance by John Cleese, who shows the aliens that there's more to being human than simply fitting in. --Trinie Dalton

 3rd Rockin' Out March 13, 2009

C'mon, how often do you actually laugh out loud at television? I mean, not because it's so stupid that your cat left the room, but because the scripts are so bright, the actors are so innovative, the characters so well-drawn, original and lovable that they're a heck of a lot funnier than YOUR family?
That's Third Rock From the Sun, something everybody who ever loved cheaply-produced but outstanding television should own. These four-packs dvd sets, of which I have three to date (and am expecting the rest for my birthday, damnit), are simply outstanding and should be mandatory viewing for anyone who either has a sense of humor or is hoping to develop one. If only shows like this were on today, I might actually get a regular tv and turn it on instead of buying all these dvds.
Forget all those modern, too-cool-for-school dvd sets of artificial, cynical episodic series - watch a bunch of humanoid aliens cope with the artificial, cynical world. It's a good investment.
 3rd Rock is still going strong! February 6, 2009
I bought season three about four weeks after seasons one and two. The show is still very funny, but then, still very tacky about the sex jokes. But hey, you have to be funny somehow! In season three we see much mor of Wayne Knight and Elmere Wendel now that they're full fledged cast members. I'm not such a big of a fan of the whole Dick and Mary break-up thing though. and what was up with the first episodes!? I'm sorry, but Roseanne's voice is worst that Edith Bunker and Lucy Ricardo's crying put toghether! Now, back to the product. The fact that these are 27 uncut episodes keeps you luahghing for days! i have to say that the episode where Dick and Mary visit her parents is hilarious. For the package though. I usually liked the talking part, but it doesn't even seem to work. Is this a problem with anyone else? When I was at the store I pressed all the boxes and none of them talk, what's the point if you don't have them talk? I'd rather have a skinnier versin that I can fit in my collection anyway. I'm sorry, but these are the fatest DVDs I've ever seen, let alone own. But if you love this show, foget the box. The picture and sound quality is really good. Even on my broken down tube TV this looks good! Any fan must own this set.
