Editorial Review:Amazon.com:In the irreverent tradition of
My Favorite Martian and
Mork and Mindy, Bonnie and Terry Turner (
That `70s Show) created
3rd Rock From the Sun. Launched in 1996 as a midseason replacement, the alien comedy ran for six seasons, garnering 31 Emmy nominations and eight wins, including three for John Lithgow and two for Kristen Johnston.
In the pilot ("Brains and Eggs"), four extra-terrestrials suddenly materialize in the college town of Rutherford, Ohio. Disguised as humans, they dub themselves the Solomons. They are Dick (Lithgow), Sally (Johnston), Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), and Harry (French Stewart). On the surface, Dick is a physics professor and Tommy is his hormonally challenged 14-year-old son. In reality, Dick is the high commander, Tommy (who's actually the oldest) is the senior information officer, Sally (who's actually a man) is the lieutenant, and squinty-eyed Harry is the transmitter/receiver. The humans in their lives include Dick's colleague--and object of his affections--Mary (Jane Curtin,
Kate and Allie), secretary Nina (Simbi Khali), and landlady Mrs. Dubcek (Elmarie Wendel). The first season also introduces Officer Don (Wayne Knight,
Seinfeld), who will appear more often in future seasons.
There were 20 episodes in the first year. In each, the Solomons learn something new about the human condition. In the debut, it's feelings. Dick finds them silly, until he realizes how essential they are--you can't be fully human without them. Then there's sportsmanship ("Green-Eyed Dick"), mortality ("Body & Soul & Dick"), and so on. Guest stars include Harry's dream girl, Martha Stewart ("Post-Nasal Dick"),
The Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham ("Dick's First Birthday"), and
Newsradio's Phil Hartman ("Lonely Dick"). After the show's demise, the cast would move on to other ventures, most notably Broadway hit
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for the versatile Lithgow and independent drama
Mysterious Skin for the grown-up Gordon-Levitt.
--Kathleen C. Fennessy

I just read the reviews of all seasons and from what I have read I am not going to order any dvds till all the cut parts of episodes are replaced. I just happened to see some episodes while on vacation and I still laughed till my sides ached. It is unfortunate that the company that made the dvds decided to cut the episodes. I may have to try some other venue to see if I can get the complete set.

The First Season of 3rd Rock From the Sun is a great release. The show is about a group of aliens who come to inspect human life. Dick (John Lithgow)is the high commander for the group of aliens. He works as a physics proffeser at the nearby university. Sally (Kristen Johnston) is the security manager of the group. She is getting used to being a female. Harry (French Stewaart) is the third alien in the group and probably is the only one in the group that really likes being on Earth. ...

I'm terribly upset that they shortened these!!!! But if I didn't buy it from them, then who would I buy them from because I MUST HAVE THEM NOW! I used to rush home from work just to watch the series. Watching them again, still makes my day. Who was the idiot that decided to cut this series? Who ever it is, smack yourself in the forehead!!!
I'd like to cast a vote to BRING THEM BACK!!!

Wonderful, funny, over the top. The selection menu and the accompanying booklet give summaries so you can find just the episode you're looking for. I'm glad they included cast interviews in the extras. It adds another dimension to the set. In short, I wouldn't change a thing.
