This is a fun DVD set. If yours is still new, you’ll be able to hear it talk by pressing a button. Sadly, the battery doesn’t last long so mine does not speak anymore – for any of the seasons. The episode guide booklet also doubles as a “Guide for Living on Earth.” So not only does it describe each episode in great detail, but it also informs you on how to defend yourself against Jello-O, how to attack a piñata, or how to use bread in place of tissues or toilet paper. It is a truly nice booklet – wonderful photos. And you can expect this quality booklet to continue out through the rest of the series’ box sets. This is a TV show very different from modern day sitcoms. It deals with aliens from outer space trying to pass as a human family so that they can learn about Earthlings. Seems cheesy, but the humor is fantastic! Most shows rely on dirty jokes, but Third Rock had an amazing cast that could accomplish any joke. As aliens, they are unfamiliar with holiday traditions, the common cold, birthdays, ethnicity, etc – so you get to witness them experience those things for the first time. Sally has to get used to being a woman (both physical and social concerns) and Tommy has to become accustom to puberty. Dick pining over the human Mary is too funny for words. They definitely make the top ten for best TV couple. The extras are great too. They include interviews with EVERY actor from the cast. There’s also a blooper reel that may even be funnier that the show itself. If you love to laugh, then this is the DVD for you! But this season does end on a cliffhanger with Evil Dick, so you’re going to want to buy Season 2 to see how it resolves.
