3rd Rock From The Sun S3
Season 3
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.
Show Guide
About The Show
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.

Characters
-
Dick Solomon
John Lithgow has had quite an extraordinarily varied career over the last forty years, on stage and screen. He had major roles in Brian DePalma's thrilling Blow Out, Twilight Zone: The Movie (playing the same role as fellow 3rd Rock actor William Shatner), Terms of Endearment, Footloose, Harry and the Hendersons, Memphis Belle, Raising Cain, Cliffhanger, and many more.
-
Sally Solomon
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
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. Perpetually squinty-eyed and perplexed, and utilising French Stewart's prodigious skills with physical comedy to the utmost, Harry somehow manages to blunder his way into the hearts of a string of women. Artistic or autistic? It's a fine line...
-
Tommy Solomon
Being a kid pretending to be an alien pretending to be a kid can't be the easiest gig in the world, but Gordon-Levitt carries it off with aplomb. Tommy Solomon is, in fact, the oldest alien of the group, but nevertheless stuck in the youngest body. The sagacity of his years, mixed with the unstable alchemy of teen hormones, makes for an intriguing and hilarious combination!
-
Mary Albright
The long-suffering colleague of Dick Solomon, Mary of course ends up rather infatuated with the great big loon. So much more than just a 'straight man' to the wacky alien antics, she is one of Dick's prime sources of information about humanity, whether she realises it or not. A lifelong student of the human condition, it's no wonder Dick confuses and intrigues her!
