3rd Rock from the Sun: The Complete Series [17 Discs] [DVD]

Let me preface this by saying I adore this show when it was on the air, and continue that enjoyment today. I acquired a few of the early seasons when they were first released, but never purchased later seasons. With the Complete Series release, and a fantastic price from Best Buy to boot, I picked it up as soon as I saw it in my local store. Let's get the packaging issues out of the way. This company does indeed put each disc in a cd envelope and stack them into a pile in the box. It's not great packaging and it could result in some issues if you're not careful, but at this price point, you're not going to get a lot more in this area. More concerning is the transfer. I literally compared the image quality of the earlier release to that of this complete series, and found it to be sub-par. It simply isn't the same. The bit rate is substantially lower, which leads to a poorer image. Nevertheless, for those who aren't concerned with tech-y stuff like that, do pick up the set. You can't afford NOT to at this price! For those who do care, though, this probably isn't the way you want to acquire the show for your collection.

This show is something that I grew up on, and I will admit that I don't think that I got as many of the jokes as I do now!! It is immensely funny, and the acting is, of course, over the top on some occasions (when called for), but very well done in all aspects!!! I have introduced it to my son, who has become a great fan! I recommend this for anyone who is feeling like THEIR life and family are a little dysfunctional!!!! ;)

I haven't laughed this hard, so much, in prob over 15 yrs! because not much on tv is good anymore. John Lithgow and Jane Curtain are stellar!! lol along with the most excellent cast who got their start in 'the biz' !The dvds are 4:3 because that's what they had 'back then', and tv was filmed in 4:3. I don't think widescreen was even available on tv (except for Babylon5-of course!!).

When the one character had a three-stage sneeze and the others (representing aliens in disguise) said, "WHAT WAS THAT!?" and in a sultry voice she replied, "I don't know, but I want another," I thought I would die laughing. A great series I can't wait to binge-watch!

I used to love this show during its original run but I haven’t watched it since. I thought about it one evening and searched for it online on Best Buy. The price for the series was great and by using rewards I got it for less than $20 including shipping.

I have been a huge fan of this series every since it was on network television and have wanted it on dvd for some time now. After seeing it as such a great deal I knew this was the time to complete my video collection.

The case is not the best. It is very flemsy. The show itself is a classic, that just get enough of. Full of laughs and a great family show. Just wish there was more seasons...

Really enjoyed this fish out of water series, and it still holds up for the most part, although there are some dated references. John Lithgow, French Stewart, Kristen Johnston, Joseph Gordon Leavitt and Jane Curtain made a great team.
