 3rd Rock from the Sun
comment
A '90s Sitcom in which a team of aliens come to Earth disguised as a human family in order to study mankind. A very similar premise to Mork & Mindy, but had enough nutty humor to make up for it. The series lasted from January 1996 to May 2001, and featured a total of 139 episodes in six seasons.As the Solomon family, the aliens infiltrate the Ohio college town of Rutherford where mediocrity reigns despite it being a Quirky Town. The commander of the aliens is Dick Solomon (John Lithgow), a pompous Manchild with an ego the size of Jupiter playing the role of a professor of physics at nearby Pendleton University. His "sister" Sally (Kristen Johnston) is a seasoned commando now "the" woman, his "son" Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a crotchety information officer going as a teenager, and "the brother" Harry (French Stewart) is a... well, technically he's the communications officer, but is really The Ditz with an antenna in his head. Their original species also doesn't have different genders, leading to much confusion and Lampshade Hanging of human gender dynamics in their new forms.The local Earthlings include Dick's insecure office mate and love interest Dr. Mary Albright (Jane Curtin), her Sassy Secretary Nina Campbell (Simbi Khali), Sally's cop boyfriend Officer Don Orville (Wayne Knight), and the Solomons' eccentric landlady Mrs. Dubcek (Elmarie Wendel). The more the Solomons view Humans Through Alien Eyes, the more they realize that Humans Are Special.Not to be confused with the song and album by Joe Diffie, nor with fellow NBC sitcom 30 Rock.

Bizarre Alien Biology: Played for a lot of laughs; the most consistent description of what the Solomons really look like is that they resemble purple tubes. Beyond that, that show is rife with jokes about exactly what their real forms are, each more confusing than the last.

15 Minutes of Fame: This happens to Sally after she punches out Mark Hamill in a restaurant. When Mary tells a jealous Dick that this is Sally's "fifteen minutes of fame," he interprets it literally and is maddened by her "fifteen minutes" lasting considerably longer than that. It ends after a few days, however, causing Sally to start acting like a White-Dwarf Starlet.

When a car mechanic who is fixing Sally's car keeps talking to Harry about it instead of Sally, Sally eventually gets the guy's attention by giving him one of these. With a pair of pliers. Which she then forgets to remove. Until she eventually does so with an apologetic little giggle.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Collect Call For Dick" where Dick gets obsessed with collecting tiny stuffed animals called "Fuzzy Buddies" at the cost of his finances, health, and self-respect. The "intervention" at the end of the episode absolutely reeks of this trope.

Big, Screwed-Up Family
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_154aa477
comment
Big, Screwed-Up Family: This is how the Solomons appear to everybody else for a majority of reasons, mainly due to Dick's egomania, Sally's rage, Tommy's lust, and Harry's... everything. There're also those times when they forget they're supposed to be related and either call each other by the wrong word or act way too intimate than being related would allow. This is taken to the extreme in The Loud Solomon Family: A Dickumentary, when Mary does a film based on the Solomon's family life. To cover up their alien identities they end up making themselves look even more screwed up than usual. Sally's "outed" as a lesbian, Tommy's outed as a bed wetter (which is true), Dick is accused of being physically abusive, and Harry pretends to be an alcoholic so he can get more screentime. When it finally gets to be too much, Tommy reveals the big secret they've been trying to hide: Dick's not his father. Straighter examples of this trope on the ongoing side are the Albrights and the Dubceks. Mary's parents are horrible people who dumped all their emotional baggage on her for her entire childhood, her mother's a vindictive, controlling, racist drunk, and her father's a cheat. The two constantly split up, and at one point Mary's father began dating Sally. Her brother and sister are no better. Roy let Mary take the blame when their parents discovered his collection of Playboys (a move which put her in therapy for a few years) and tries to get women to sleep with him by lying about getting abducted by aliens. Renata, Mary's sister, is relatively more successful than she is and enjoys destroying Mary's happiness any chance she can get, even trying to steal Dick from her. It's a wonder Mary isn't even more messed up than she is now. The Dubceks, on the other hand, are much more pleasant to deal with despite Mamie and Vicki being rampant, self aware nymphomaniacs, with Mamie being the grandmother of more than one illegitimate grandchild and an implied stoner, and Vicki acting as though she's in a bad porno most of the time. Oh, and the time she tried to kill Harry's girlfriend after marrying the Big Giant Head.

Genre Shift

comment
Genre Shift: A common B story was to have Sally and either Harry or Tommy engage in sudden behavior change. For example, after Sally starts dating a man named Tony The Butcher, Sally starts acting like an Italian mob girlfriend, and Tommy starts behaving like a Goodfella. In addition, most early Sally/Don scenes all were taken straight out of Film Noir.

Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity: Averted. The actual ages of the aliens don't correspond with the ages of their human bodies, and it shows. Tommy, the oldest of the group, is easily the most level-headed member of the group even though he's physically a teenager. Partially enforced by hormones though. Tommy's worst moments usually come regarding his girlfriends.

Chekhov's Gag

Chekhov's Gag: "Tricky Dick." Born out of feelings of bitterness, Dick and Mary engage in an ever-escalating prank war. Amongst Dick's ideas are removing Mary's desk, getting a garage to add massive speakers and flame decals to her car, and sending her a fake letter from the President. Mary, however, gets Dick with a big one: getting Dick stuck to his desk with thermal bond epoxy. As Dick is slowly removed from his desk, they finally agree to end it and act like adults..... just before they hear the loud, booming noise of Mary's car being returned from the shop.

comment
Only Sane Man: As the core cast is so insane, an outsider is often needed for the job. Initially, it was Mary - until she was developed as pretty quirky herself. Then it was August, Tommy's first girlfriend, during her run with the show. Later, Don often played the part, especially in conversations with Sally where she takes up some ludicrous position about their relationship. He doesn't tell her she's wrong when it plays to his advantage. Of all people, Harry is this in "Collect Call for Dick". When Dick first begins to get obsessed with collecting every Fuzzy Buddy in existence, Harry puts it into perspective by saying they already have a bunch of them. Then later, when there's an ultra rare Fuzzy Buddy of which only thirty were made due to a manufacturing error:

Practically Different Generations: Despite not actually being siblings. As part of their charade as the Solomon family, Harry and Sally are Dick's brother and sister, even though there's a significant age gap in their Earthling formsnote French Stewart and Kristen Johnson are 19 and 22 years younger, respectively, than John Lithgow, who was in his 50's during the show's run but looked older due to his receding gray hair; if they'd posed as his children along with Tommy, it would've been slightly more plausible.

Cock Fight: Dick and Neesam over Mary. Later, Harry and The Big Giant Head over Vicki. "Superstitious Dick" has a variant; Alissa has a crush on hockey star Stenstrom. Tommy is naturally jealous and goes to tell Stenstrom, who's in the dark about Alissa's crush, to stay away from his girl. But Tommy's words don't register, because Stenstrom doesn't speak a lick of English outside of "Stay in school, don't do drug" and "Okay."

Bland-Name Product: Possibly. After Mary pokes the Mr Potato Head toy Dick keeps on his desk with about three dozen pencils, Dick exclaims "My Mr Potato Man!" This could ether be the producers not wanting to say the actual name and/or just another 'alien misnamed something' joke. Riverdance - King of the Jig.

Gender Bender: Sally Solomon wasn't female before coming to Earth (whether the aliens have genders, and what they're like is not elaborated on), and initially wasn't pleased at the change. Dick has his share of a feminine side, too, especially in the emotions he expresses, including but not limited to, his mood swings. He or Sally equally could play a woman. Perhaps the reason the Big Giant Head chose Dick for the temporary switch with Sally?

Omniglot: The Solomons seem to have learned every Earth language in preparation for their trip, or at least a couple dozen. Dick reads a newspaper in a different language almost every episode. When they got cable, they switched to a Spanish-speaking channel and all started speaking Spanish — until they realized what they were doing. They can also speak (at least some) animal languages. For instance, in the second season episode about thanksgiving, Dick hears turkeys on television. He later tells the others that the turkeys were talking about an apocalypse (What made this more hilarious was the reporter on tv earlier jokingly saying that the turkeys seemed to know what was headed their way). In a season one episode, Harry has a conversation with a dog. This may be an unidentified form of Neural Implanting: in one episode Harry and Dick are locked in a stairwell together for over a day, during which Dick begins talking to his 'inner voice'. In a throw-away line, Harry says his inner voice began speaking to him too, but he didn't know what it said because he doesn't speak French. Obviously it was just intended as a one-line joke, but if one ponders it, it probably means that Harry has the French language stored somewhere in his brain, he just can't access it. However, this theory is also somewhat damaged by the fact that in a Battle of Wits between Dick and Tommy, they show off using their language skills. (Tommy wins, apparently having mastered all the languages Dick challenges him with, and correcting Dick's faulty grammar.) It's also an Actor Allusion, given that Harry is played by French Stewart.

Older Than They Look: Tommy is the oldest alien, and acts Alter Kocker when he decides to retire and give up on acting his human age in "Portrait Of Tommy As An Old Man." He also hams up the Alter Kocker when, in the final season, they learn that their mission is at an end. The others point out that he always 'acts old' when they reach the end of the mission, but he actually takes the end of the mission much harder than initially suggested, breaking down during their going away party, a reaction he apparently hasn't had before.

Starfish Aliens: We never get to see the Solomons' true forms, but what little we hear about them sounds positively Lovecraftian. The only consistent detail is that they are purple tubes. Or at least a major part of them is a purple tube. Presumably, they must have some kind of head, as their ruler has (Or is) a Big Giant one. Or he could be the Big Giant Head of the organization, not literally have a big head.

Season Fluidity: More towards the "fluid" category, due to most every episode being a stand-alone plot that can be watched independently, but there is continuity, especially in the romantic relationships. Example: Dick and Mary are broken up? You're watching a season 3 episode. Sally and Don are broken up? You're watching a season 4 episode.

Noodle Incident: When reminiscing, the aliens talk about a rather humorous memory that is never elaborated upon, which also provides the title for the two-part ending episode: Most of what Ms. Dubceck says is a reference to some past sexual escapade. Thankfully, the other characters don't pry. Judith once entered an episode finishing a story about how somebody had been devoured by woodland creatures. During "Dick and Harry Fall Down A Hole," the hole expert mentions an incident in Manchester where ten people went into a hole. He still has no idea how twelve people came out. Vicki once freaked out and got very nervous when she encountered two midgets who seemed to know her very well, but whatever it was that happened between them doesn't get explained.

Instant Seduction: In "Dick's Ark," Harry is at the check-out lane of the grocery store and asks the clerk if she wants to join him for a party. The clerk is interested and says that she gets off at eight. Harry replies, "No no, the party's at eight. You get off at nine."

Unexpectedly Obscure Answer
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_42a87000
comment
Unexpectedly Obscure Answer: Averted in "Dick Behaving Badly", the answer to Dick's charades is "Two celestial bodies of equal mass sharing a single gravitational field will exhibit identical rotational properties for as long as their inertial integrity is maintained." Dick's physics friends are able to correctly guess in very short order.

Under the Mistletoe: Someone hangs mistletoe in the doorway of Dick and Mary's office. Having never celebrated the holiday before, Dick assumes it's a weed growing through the frame and keeps ripping it down. Mary eventually explains the tradition when they're walking out of the office together and Dick responds by kissing her.

Ambiguous Gender: Technically, all the aliens, at least while in their true forms. It's unclear whether their species simply doesn't have genders, or if their understanding of gender and sex is so different from ours that we humans couldn't hope to understand it — similar to how they feel about our understanding gender and sex.

It didn't work, and the tribe was wiped out. Dick grabs the horn and puts it over his nose, not realizing it's meant to be worn over the genitals. After Mary asks him to take it off...

In one scene, the Solomons hang Dubcek's body out the window, moving her limbs and providing her voice. Eventually, they ditch that and just decide to dress Harry up as Dubcek, since people will be seeing her up close.

Fake Identity Baggage: In "Dick Solomon of the Indiana Solomons", Dick gets an invitation to a family reunion meant for a different Richard Solomon. Dick decides to attend because the family hasn't seen Richard since he was a child. Dick is overjoyed to experience what it's like to have an extended family, but Richard's cousin Jacob is instantly hostile towards him. Dick soon learns that Richard's father was ousted from the family furniture business by Jacob's father, and Jacob assumes that Dick has only returned to stake a claim on the family's money since the business has been doing so well.

Cliffhanger Copout: Season Three ended with a Cliffhanger in which Harry had been kidnapped by Vicki's old boyfriend Randy.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The first episode has the same set for the attic as the rest of the series, except without the stairs. They also push Mrs. Dubcek to leave through the door that leads to their bedroom. Also, Dick and Mary's office is completely different than the rest of the series. The first season had more emphasis on the military-esque chain of command; for example, the characters often ask Dick "Permission to speak freely", when they wouldn't bother with that formality as the series progressed. In the earlier episodes, it was mentioned that their identities on Earth were simply a cover for their true selves. Later episodes seem to imply that Dick, Harry et al. are their real names on whatever planet they're from.

The Unreveal: We never find out what the aliens' real forms look like, other then something about a purple tube. Any further descriptions only make it weirder. Further confused by the time Dick mentions they came to Earth in a spaceship that could fit in his pants-pocket. And apparently they were disappointed that as humans they could no longer lick their backs. Harry was surprised to find that eyelids have to be operated manually, and initially they're all weirded out by how many holes they have in their heads.

Ambiguous Syntax: The name of "Big Giant Head" may refer to either the size of the character's head or them being the head of the organization. However considering the mentioning of a "Big Giant Butt" and a "Big Giant Jenny", the former apparently being the Head's superior and the latter the Head's assistant, and the additional mentioning of it being a job... Whoever runs that organization must have a strange taste in the naming of ranks.

Sally is pretty good at this herself, finding her ability to cloud men's minds an upside to being the only woman of the group. Indeed, she later gets recruited by the above mentioned aliens, who mention she has potential, but is unrefined.

Gag Penis: Dick poses for a nude painting class in one episode. Apparently, he really lives up to his name. In the next scene Mary and Nina are gawking at Mary's painting. And again when Dick sends Mary a photo album of naked pictures of himself after she has broken up with him, in an attempt to win her back. Even though she had just told him she never wanted to see him again, she is clearly tempted. Apparently, Harry doesn't have a problem in this area either.

Knight of Cerebus: Charlotte from "Alien Hunter" makes the episode darker than most of the ones that preceded it, even more than Liam's original plan to blow up the Earth or Vicki's attempts to kill Janice and Sally. She gets Dick completely at her mercy and plans to cut his head open, and we later discover she's murdered at least several people whom she mistakenly thought were aliens too. Up until her appearance, the show's previous antagonists were just assholes (Strudwick, Lucy) or comically grandiose supervillains (Liam, Evil Dick), not actual murderers.

The Unfair Sex: When Dick Solomon (or other male character) screw something up in a relationship, they get their comeuppance most of the time and rightly so. On the other hand when Vicki, who not only was in a loving/(lusting?) relationship with Harry but were trying to have a child together, sleeps with, gets knocked up by and marries another man, nobody seems to be fazed by it (not even Harry). Possibly justified because the man who knocked her up was their leader, The Big Giant Head and nobody wanted to say anything and risk pissing him off.

Meaningful Name: As Don notices in one episode, the three male Solomons are named "Tom, Dick, and Harry." In addition, Dick is both a self-absorbed asshole and very ... well-endowed. Fits both definitions of "dick" pretty well, no? There's also a Harry and a Sally, which might just be a Shout-Out to a certain movie. It's only a nickname, but Sally often calls Mrs. Dubcek "Doobie." In addition to her sordid past and present, we see her in one episode rolling a joint out of Tommy's cilantro only to be disappointed that it's not marijuana. However, she still says it "beats the hell out of basil." Also, can't forget her "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune:

Everyone Looks Sexier if French: French Immigrant Michele appears in the second season as Sally's love interest. So great is his French accent that he can make the entire office swoon with the line, "On my foot I have a big painful oozing bleester!" One episode had the family trying to decide what ethnicity to be. Dick asked Mary, an anthropologist, what the best ethnic group was. She claimed it was all subjective, but when he asked which ethnicity was sexiest, she immediately responded, "Italians. Smokey, swarthy, gotta have 'em." And Harry isn't bad looking either!

One Dialogue, Two Conversations
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_71152dd
comment
One Dialogue, Two Conversations All of Sammy Marchetti's dialogue in "Dick the Mouth Solomon". Everyone mistakes it for mobster talk, not realizing he's merely a butcher. Just one example: "Respect. People are good to me. I'm good to them. People are bad to me. Well, they're not going to be happy with what I give them, you know." No, he's not going to bump you off, he's just going to give you a substandard piece of meat. The entire episode "Frankie Goes to Rutherford", where Dick meets Frank, a man who he thinks is an alien just like him, but is merely a gay human. This leads to things like Dick going to an "alien bar" and Frank telling Dick that he has to come out to Mary. In "Dr. Solomon's Traveling Alien Show", Dick's brain is slowly deteriorating due to their status report to the Big Giant Head being late. But Harry doesn't know that when Dick finds him at the circus, resulting in this.

Hate at First Sight: One episode involved Dick getting upset that a cafeteria lady hated him. This is pretty bizarre when you consider how Dick is usually apparently okay with several regular and recurring characters disliking him.

Like Brother and Sister: Of course, Dick and Sally are posing as siblings, but they're actually not. They also display no sexual attraction to one another (and in fact are both repulsed by the idea). However, they seem to have an especially close relationship compared to the other members of the family. In closing scenes Sally can often be seen sitting with her legs over Dick's, in the same chair or in otherwise snuggly fashion on the roof, and their emotional bond seems much stronger than the relationships they have with Harry or Tommy.

Bleak Abyss Retirement Home: In "Portrait of Tommy as an Old Man", Tommy decides to retire from the mission and moves into a local retirement home. He enjoys it for a while, but eventually gets so bored he loses track of what day it is.

Prison Changes People: Parodied when Dick tries to prove that he can reform a "hardened" criminal through compassion and understanding. His chosen ex-convict was a relatively minor criminal who was only in jail for a short time, but Dick quickly starts treating him as though he's a hardened criminal.

Almost Kiss
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_7eb49b31
comment
Almost Kiss: Sally and Don, numerous times. This is lampshaded by Don when he tells Sally that they've been dating for almost two years and haven't kissed. An early example occurred in "Frozen Dick" when Sally and Leon's kiss is interrupted by the lights coming back on. Sally's overjoyed that they don't have to mate to perpetuate the species. Leon is less than thrilled by this news. "InDickscretion" sees this happen to Dick and Sally. They're so turned on by talking about Mary and Don, respectively, that they start eyeing each other longingly. Just before their lips make contact, they realize what they're doing and panic, and run.

Large Ham

comment
Large Ham: This show borders on World of Ham! Brash and flamboyant at all times, Dick makes some Batman villains look modest. Also, the Big Giant Head, played by none other than William Shatner. Harry was this show's equivalent to Cosmo Kramer when it came to combining physical comedy with hamminess. John Lithgow routinely hams it up, but then is upstaged by his replacement in the first season finale - a role played by...himself. Vicki, when she shows up, usually spends a lot of time mugging and making a four-course meal of the scenery. Randy, played by Phil Hartman ("OH YEAHHHH!!!"). Unfortunately, Hartman only got to show this off as a One-Shot Character before he was murdered.

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Everyone, really, and increasingly so as the show goes along. Dick, Mary, and (mostly in the later seasons) Sally are the most obvious examples, but Harry and Tommy have had their Jerkass moments too. As John Lithgow points out, they could get away with really outrageous things under the pretense of "they're aliens, so they don't know any better." Note how Mary, who doesn't have that excuse, never really crosses the line of normal sitcom character behavior.

Worthless Yellow Rocks: The family apparently wins the lottery every time, but tears up the tickets and just enjoys the fun of playing the lottery. It's unknown whether this is because this qualifies as a 'global change' (Similar to blowing up the Earth), or they simply don't know that the lottery actually involves money. Likely the second. Dick at one point looks into buying a diamond ring and is disgusted by the high price of them on Earth.

Stepford Smiler: In one episode, the Solomons decide they need to be more "normal" and so they strive to become as average as possible. They end up being this trope, especially Sally. Sally also tries to do this to please a boyfriend, but breaks down quickly, going from pleasantly saying, "I don't know, you decide," to screaming it in his face.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: When Sally tries to explain to Don who she is without revealing she's an alien, he assumes she's with the feds or CIA, citing her incredible combat abilities, inability to talk about her past, and why she's now saying she has to leave and never contact him again. In many ways, he's right on the money.

Naked Apron: First referenced by Sally and Ms. Dubcek, then later performed by Harry in "Dick and the Other Guy". Ms. Dubcek gives Sally a piece of advice to woo Don: Make some eggs for breakfast while in the buff. In "Indecent Dick", Harry decides that clothes are a scam and stops wearing them but does make sure to put an apron on when cooking BLTs. He then makes the mistake of turning around so his back is to the oven allowing the grease to hit his back. Cue yelping and hurriedly turning around again.

Ethical Slut: Dick. He has an active sex life with Mary, and is very open to chat about it, but he won't turn down an offer from someone else if the opportunity arises. A good example of this is in Auto Eurodicka. Dick and Mary are broken up, and after having sex with a woman he met in line at the movies (who later turns out to be Bug's mother), Dick honestly can't understand why Mary and Bug are upset about it. To him, it's all the same.

Swapped Roles: Harry and Sally switch jobs in "Same Old Song and Old Dick." It ends once Harry realizes he can't bring himself to kill a spider. A crazier example: "Two-Faced Dick." Dick and Sally end up switching bodies (due to a delayed answer to a request Sally gave, when she first arrived on the planet, that she wanted to be a man), which forces them to adjust their personalities so they don't lose Mary and Don, respectively.

Kissing Cousins
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_8ff8d545

Kissing Cousins: In the third season premiere, the Big Giant Head tries to make Dick adopt Janet (the BGH's own niece) as his Earth wife. Later on, the Big Giant Head turns out to be Dick's father, making Dick and Janet... Also played with in the first episode. Dick expresses frustration at his inability to obtain the sex from Mary (with Mary in earshot) so Sally offers to experience it with him to get it over with (though they aren't actually related, they're supposed to be and it weirds Mary out). In "Dick Solomon of the Indiana Solomons," Tommy wants to kiss a girl he meets at the Solomon family reunion, unaware that kissing your cousin is a taboo in America. However, Tommy finds out that she's adopted and uses that as an excuse. Of course, this backfires when the girl is too upset to kiss him, as she was unaware she was adopted.

Un-Confession: Used several times over the course of the series with the Solomons admitting they were aliens, though of course it never carried any consequences past the episode in question. The end of the "Dickumentary" episode has all the False Confessions the family has made (Sally is a lesbian, Tommy is a bed-wetter, Harry is an alcoholic, etc) revealed as lies, making it obvious that they are actually trying to hide something. Fed up with the bickering and fighting, Tommy offers to reveal their big secret: Dick isn't his real father, they aren't even biologically related.

Mistaken for Profound: In one episode Harry tries to chain his bike to a tree and ended up chaining himself. Since the park was about to be bulldozed, he is mistaken for an activist, and eventually asked to run for city council where his campaign pretty much runs on this.

Big "WHY?!": Dick considers telling Mary that he and his family are aliens. The only thing is that the Solomons have just seen a sci-fi movie featuring an Alien Invasion, so they stage a simulation to how it would go. After Dick tells Sally (posing as Mary) he's an alien, she "dies." While cradling her "corpse," Harry lets out a Big Why that would do William Shatner proud.

Rule of Three: In "Sensitive Dick," Nina telling the disciplinary committee three times that Dick's "warm, kind, and a credit to Pendleton State," no matter the question asked. In "Why Dickie Can't Teach," Tommy hugs Mary and then tries to grab her ass, which she doesn't allow. Later, Dick tries the same technique on Mary. Finally, at the end of the episode, Dick hugs Tommy and both try the same thing on each other.

Acronym Confusion: In "The Loud Solomon Family: A Dickumentary," Dick took Harry to what he thought was an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting, where he forced Harry to admit he was an alcoholic. The woman behind the counter then corrected him: "This is Triple A (AAA)." In "Y2Dick," Sally, Tommy, and Harry are about to buy a DVD player. They don't quite know what it stands for; they guess "Digital video..... dynamite." note It's actually "digital versatile disc" (because of the media's many uses beyond video storage).

Noodle Implements: The Big Giant Head once threatened to have Dick sent to Mars. Dick's not so worried before the Big Giant Head clarifies "Not THAT Mars!" An earlier episode had Dick order Sally to "assemble the giant robot," to which Sally responds they didn't bring it because they had to make room for his exercise equipment. There's also mention that they've got human body parts stored in the freezer in case of an emergency. There's a running gag that somewhere in the galaxy, Jell-o's are incredibly dangerous creatures; occasionally they recieve molds as gifts or see them at parties, and they usually cower behind something until Sally, as security officer, kills it, usually by stabbing it. In Dick's nightmare in "A Nightmare on Dick Street," he is attacked by a massive wall-sized one, which may be what they're afraid of—although as malicious as it is, it still has bits of orange and pineapple imbedded in it. A lot of what happens on the aliens' homeworld is mentioned through this trope. They have a holiday called "Big Giant Head Day" that's similar to Thanksgiving except it involves someone getting thrown into the sun, and people get elected by outrunning a giant fireball.

Dysfunctional Family: Mary's family. Her parents both had affairs while she was growing up (including one that draws doubt to Mary's paternity). She's the eldest of three children, all twisted in their own ways. Her brother Roy sells aluminum siding and tells women he was abducted by aliens as an attempt to get laid. Her sister Renata is an affected, wealthy woman who has a personal vendetta against Mary and does everything in her power to destroy Mary's life (including trying to steal Dick). Their whole family seems fond of alcohol, and Mary has apparently followed in her mother's footsteps to become a borderline Lady Drunk.

Love Triangle: Between Mary, Dick, and Sonja in "Dick and the Single Girl." Also seen in "D3: Judgement Day" between Mary, Dick, and Jennifer. Dick realizes that the more lovey-dubby he is with Jennifer, the more Mary wants him back, so he deliberately rides it out with Jennifer, despite the fact that he can't stand her.

Metaphorically True: In "When Aliens Camp", Dick wants to have a weekend with just the family: Himself, Harry, Sally, and Tommy. But when Mary waxes nostalgic about camping, he invites her along too. Realizing he will look like a hypocrite if he tells the family he invited Mary on a family-only weekend:

Demoted to Extra: The last season sees Tommy demoted to an occasionally recurring and not very important cast member, partially because he's off to college and thereby separated from the rest of the cast most of the time. The actors playing Nina and Don were listed as regular cast members starting on the third season, but likewise appeared only occasionally on the last season.

It Makes Sense in Context
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_ba236071
comment
It Makes Sense in Context: During "Dick Puts The Id In Cupid," Don sends Sally Valentine's cards signed "Your secret admirer." Unfortunately, Sally completely misunderstands and assumes she's being stalked by someone who wants to cut her open after reading "Your heart will be mine." It's only after she finds out Don sent the card (after he spent the episode too embarrassed to admit it after Sally freaked out) that she finally reads the card within the proper context and is touched. By the series finale, after Dick reveals the truth about himself and the others to Mary he asks her to look back on everything she knows about him from the past six years. As Mary goes through an entire gamut of emotions reminiscing on everything Dick's ever done to and with her, she realizes him being an alien makes sense. Given the proper context of who and what Dick is, their relationship suddenly becomes much more healthier.

Really Gets Around: Mrs. Dubceck's one of the most sexually active women in the cast, to the point it's implied she's got a number of illegitimate kids and grandkids. Mary before she met Dick (to her continuing embarrassment). She's got a noted reputation for sleeping around, and we find out she even slept with Dick's arch nemesis Strudwick while he was separated from his wife. Harry, who has to be forcibly stopped from French kissing any female within reach. He's had the biggest amount of lovers among the aliens, including Nina, Vicki, Masha the Venusian, Janice, a cashier, and we find out in the series finale he's been in a casual relationship with Mrs. Dubcek for the entire show.

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_bf74d357
comment
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Sally and Don. Played with in that Sally has no idea Don is supposed to be ugly (despite the fact that he's played by Wayne Knight), and finds his power as a police officer sexy (Despite the fact that he has almost no real power). This becomes even more hilarious in a later episode, where Sally convinces herself she's ugly while still seeing Don as the hottest man on the planet. The first time she sees him without his uniform though, she doesn't recognize him. When he insists it's really him, she blows him off, but is instantly attracted to him again when he comes to confront her in-uniform. They both figure out what's going on and Don proposes a solution: he always wears his uniform around her. This changes as time goes on; she begins to find other aspects of him sexy aside from the uniform (though generally situations in which he is "powerful" somehow - when he was a bouncer, or a karaoke star). She also comes to respect him more when he asserts himself over her shallowness at times, and in the end she cares about him even as she realizes he's an ineffectual coward, teaching him how to be a strong police officer before she leaves the planet.

Large-Ham Announcer: Harry, whenever receiving a broadcast from the Big Giant Head. He makes this... weird gurgling sound, sticks his arms up (similar to The Great Cornholio, oddly enough), and begins speaking in a loud, booming voice. This "transmission" is usually just a brief statement, but one time Harry actually hummed Muzak while on hold.

Good Cop/Bad Cop: Tommy and Sally do this respectively in order to find out who egged Mary's house on Halloween. Dick and Don do this to a perp in "The Physics of Being Dick," despite that Dick's not actually a cop. Amusingly, both can never settle on who will be the good cop and who will be the bad cop. A few scenes later they are shown having tried out all the variations they could think of. Good Cop/Good Cop is particularly ineffective.

Informed Judaism
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_c673210e
comment
Informed Judaism: The "Solomon" family spends an episode desperately trying to decide what ethnicity they should be; until their landlady mentions offhand that based on their last name she had just assumed they were Jewish and they decide to run with it (never comes up again). Apparently, they just took it off the side of the first truck they saw. It does come up again once, when the family tries to kidnap Dick (by putting a bag over his head) just after he has proposed to Mary. He tries to reassure her that the "sacking of the groom" is traditional. Sally once warns Dick against "getting all meshuggineh," Harry refers to Mary and August as "blonde shiksa goddesses," and Janet studied Yiddish as a Second Language in preparation for joining the family. In one episode they go to a family reunion of Solomons from Indiana. These Solomons have a family run furniture business which would involve a lot of trucks. So it is possible that these people are their namesake. The Solomons also celebrate Christmas, and never give any indication that they're even aware of Hanukkah. While it makes sense that pop culture osmosis would cause them to only be aware of Christmas, the fact that others who believe them to be Jewish never question it is a bit unusual.

Shout-Out
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Numerous ones over the seasons. There are a few relating to Jane Curtin's role as Primat in Coneheads, the most obvious one being when they ran into Coneheads cosplayers at a sci-fi convention. As well as an episode where she makes everyone watch a tabloid show about Susan Saint James. When the Big Giant Head first appears on Earth, he tells the Solomons that he saw a creature on the wing of the airplane but nobody believed him; Dick responds "The same thing happened to me!" This refers to the fact that William Shatner starred in the classic The Twilight Zone (1959) episode "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet", while John Lithgow starred in the segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie based off of that episode. The Solomons all know Dennis Rodman, a fellow alien. When he shows up, they share their disbelief that Earth hasn't figured it out. In Tricky Dick Dick, annoyed by the loud music Tommy's band is playing, delivers a fire-and-brimstone sermon about the dangers of Rock & Roll. This is a shout-out to John Lithgow's character in Footloose. Shall We Dick has a shout out to "Cinderella." Harry wishes he could go to the big dance contest, only he can't find his shoes and he's covered in soot from looking for them. The other three start uproariously mocking him for wanting to go because he's "dressed in rags" and dirty. Mrs. Dubcek, conveniently dressed in an all white, sequined number and waving around a cigarette holder, tells Harry he can still go to the dance if he really wants too. Harry mentions he doesn't have a car or clothes, and then Dubcek says "well Harry... I guess you're screwed." There's also an accidental shout out, in that Harry's covered in soot, making him "Dirty Harry." "Fifteen Minutes of Dick" becomes a parody of Sunset Boulevard, complete with "It's the pictures that got small!" reference. "Stuck With Dick" features a parody of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. "Citizen Solomon" contains, surprisingly enough, a Whole-Plot Reference to Citizen Kane. Tommy is Kane himself, Alissa is Susan Alexander, August is Jedediah Leland, and the principal is Mr. Thatcher. The parody isn't evident unless you've seen the film as it's based on a portion of the movie which is not often parodied and is thus outside the Popcultural Osmosis of the film's more famous scenes. "Gwen, Larry, Dick & Mary"'s subplot eventually becomes a parody of Judge Judy. "Land... it's the only thing that matters.", "Dick, that's just dirt from the backyard." The episode The Loud Solomon Family: A Dickumentary could possibly be a reference to the 1970's PBS documentary "An American Family," starring a family whose last name was in fact "Loud." A lot of shoutouts to Rebel Without a Cause in Father Knows Best, in which Harry shouts "You're tearing me apart!" followed by his search for self (which ends in an agreement to a drag race with the boyfriend of a girl he meets at the bar). "A Nightmare on Dick Street Part 1" featured a parody of Chinatown. "The Physics of Being Dick" features a parody of The Music Man:

Cassandra Truth: The first time Dick tries to out himself to Mary as an alien was when he got sick for the first time and thought he was dying. He tells her not to be alarmed if she finds only a shivering purple tube in his place the next day. She seems to take it as either melodrama or delirium. The next time, it's after they've been attending a sci-fi convention that she's really gotten into. She thinks he's gotten equally into it and awards him appropriately. Dick also revealed that he's an alien to the psychiatrist in "A Nightmare on Dick Street," but he just brushed it off as crazy talk. Out of options, the Solomons admitted they were aliens in "Dick and Taxes" to explain their whereabouts during the years before they landed on Earth. The IRS agent, however, believed this to be just another excuse: "Sorry folks, I've heard that one before too." Dick also attempted to tell Mary he was an alien when he was befriended by a former (gay) student of hers that believed he was gay and tried to help him come out. At one point he's also trying to 'get to know' his students by asking them about their pasts. One of them asks him where he's from and, right before the bell rings signaling the end of the class, he says "Long story... true story... I'm not human."

Broken Bird: In an alternate universe, we find that Mary is just a bitter lonely woman with little to live for. Dick tries to convince her that she can be more, but she's already given up. Despite having an otherwise much better life, it's this dead-inside Mary that gets him to go back home. Real world Mary is on the happier edge of being one. She has a relatively decent life, but her terrible childhood, Dick, sexual history, Dick, and her frustration with working in a third rate college with Dick give her slightly better reasons to be bitter at the world than most.

Competence Zone: Dick, Sally and oddly Tommy inhabited it. Harry... didn't. Specifically, despite their utter failures at fitting in, Sally is great at security, and Tommy repeatedly shows information-handling skills beyond the greatest hacker, including creating false backstories for all of them multiple times. Dick has advanced knowledge of physics, but so do the others; his actual competence is that he is really pretty good at anthropology, and while he's an awful leader, is pretty good at telling the others what they should do to better understand Earth. It may be worth mentioning that Harry is a quite talented artist, both in execution and in analysis.

comment
Subverted Suspicion Aesop: In "Two-Faced Dick", Harry and Tommy are suspicious of a tough-looking gang who keeps ordering drinks. Ms. Dubcek tells them that they shouldn't judge people by how they look, and Harry and Tommy decide to apologize to the gang for it. Immediately after they apologize, the gang tells them to open up the cash register. Amusingly, instead of being terrified, Harry and Tommy are overjoyed that they were right all along about their first impression.

Hoist by His Own Petard: In "The Physics of Being Dick," if Mary wasn't unable to handle criticism, Sally wouldn't have felt the need to blindly kiss her ass and lie that her introduction speech was perfect which meant Mary wouldn't have totally humiliated herself.

Cloud Cuckoolander: Harry Solomon, to the point where it actually hurts him to think too hard. Harry is the worst, but all the aliens have several moments of this, for obvious reasons. Even Tommy who is usually the sanest of the four. Vicki Dubcek also has her moments, where despite being a human, she occasionally acts just as nutty as the aliens.

Jury Duty: One of the plots in "Eleven Angry Men and One Dick" is Dick being summoned for jury duty. It takes him forever to qualify for the jury, as he always has an opinion on a case that excludes him from being impartial. Finally he's allowed on when he's asked a question and bursts into tears.

Anal Probing
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_d8ad2130
comment
Anal Probing: One episode began with the main characters watching an episode of The X-Files on television, groaning over how laughably inaccurate the show is. One scene, described by Tommy as an alien inserting a probe through someone's ear, is met with the derisive comment from Dick, "Everyone knows the proper place to insert an alien probe is the butt!" In a later episode involving a psychotic alien hunter who kidnaps Dick and accuses aliens like him of "probing the butt of the poor American farmer," Dick denies that aliens anally probe anyone. However, he mentions an incident involving a farmer near Akron, who was "asking for it". Dr. Albright's brother Roy claims that he has been probed.

The end of the "Dickumentary" episode has all the False Confessions the family has made (Sally is a lesbian, Tommy is a bed-wetter, Harry is an alcoholic, etc) revealed as lies, making it obvious that they are actually trying to hide something. Fed up with the bickering and fighting, Tommy offers to reveal their big secret: Dick isn't his real father, they aren't even biologically related.

He also hams up the Alter Kocker when, in the final season, they learn that their mission is at an end.

 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_e303d198
comment
"Citizen Solomon" contains, surprisingly enough, a Whole-Plot Reference to Citizen Kane. Tommy is Kane himself, Alissa is Susan Alexander, August is Jedediah Leland, and the principal is Mr. Thatcher. The parody isn't evident unless you've seen the film as it's based on a portion of the movie which is not often parodied and is thus outside the Popcultural Osmosis of the film's more famous scenes.

Star-Crossed Lovers: Tommy and Alissa become this when it's revealed that Alissa's last name is Strudwick (see Sitcom Arch-Nemesis above). Although it doesn't actually stop them from dating. In the end, Mary and Dick. She's a human, he's an alien, and he always knew that one day, his mission would end. Mary can't leave Earth with them, so he winds up wiping her memory to spare her the pain, and leaving her forever. The same can also be said for Sally and Don, though he never found out the truth, and assumes Sally's with the CIA or something similar, which would explain her abilities and why she suddenly has to vanish from his life.

Flanderization: The show itself was this by season 6, in which the goofiness of the plots was turned up to eleven, including a two-parter wherein the four could just randomly transport to a parallel universe (set in New York City).

With a pair of pliers. Which she then forgets to remove. Until she eventually does so with an apologetic little giggle. Sally accidentally does this to herself during the "Freaky Friday" Flip. The first time she sits down while in Dick's body she instinctively crosses her legs only to yelp in pain because she crushed the "goods". Harry advises her to wear a sports cup until she gets used to the different anatomy.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The source of a few aside jokes. For example, in the "See Dick Continue To Run" two-parter, Sally, Tommy and Harry happen to run into Dennis Rodman (As Himself), who turns out to be a fellow alien, and they all have a laugh about how no one's figured it out yet. Then they grill him about celebrities he's interacted with:

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 3rd Rock from the Sun / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Sally, as the mission's no-nonsense, militaristic, security officer frequently discusses needing to kill anyone who may expose their secret, but never actually hurts or threatens anyone on these grounds. Admittedly, that would be very wrong for the show's light tone. A season one episode has Sally lure Mary's brother into a field for the express purpose of murdering him after he tells them about an alien abduction he experienced. Dick manages to stop her, and in the process they discover he was simply lying to get attention.

However, this theory is also somewhat damaged by the fact that in a Battle of Wits between Dick and Tommy, they show off using their language skills. (Tommy wins, apparently having mastered all the languages Dick challenges him with, and correcting Dick's faulty grammar.)

Distracted by the Sexy: Another group of aliens who all look like attractive women use the characters' hometown to test how effective their beauty is at distracting men as part of their bid to conquer Earth. It's pretty effective. Sally is pretty good at this herself, finding her ability to cloud men's minds an upside to being the only woman of the group. Indeed, she later gets recruited by the above mentioned aliens, who mention she has potential, but is unrefined.

Running Gag: In "Dick Solomon of the Indiana Solomons," either Uncle Abe or Harry starting a sentence with, "Don't get me started on..." In "Y2dick", Tommy and Sally declaring "Pack it up! This piece of crap's going back!" when they're dissatisfied with their home theater system. The aliens don't like Jell-O: they think it's a vicious alien they encountered on another planet. Whenever they see it, they go into a screaming fit and either cower in fear or try to destroy it. Up until he got his haircut, the other Solomons would constantly point out how Tommy looked like a girl.

Comically Missing the Point: Really, isn't this the point of every episode? Some examples: Dick, in "Romeo & Juliet & Dick": In "Dickmalion," Tommy told Dick he got suspended for setting off the fire alarm. Dick was appalled at the school, since Tommy saved hundreds of lives. Tommy admitted that there was no fire. Another example from season one: Dick goes AWOL (he's got locked in the fire escape at work) and Sally decides he's deliberately left her in charge to see how she handles it, exclaiming "This is a test!" Harry leans over to Tommy and says "She's about to emit a high-pitched tone." Any time Nina's race is brought up. The Solomons never seem to grasp that 'black' refers to skin color and not just a cultural group.

Brick Joke: Harry's lobster claws from "Rutherford Beauty" In "Tricky Dick", Dick and Mary get into a prank war. At one point Mary is trying to talk to an auto mechanic, but he only speaks Spanish (which she doesn't). Dick volunteers to help, but tells the mechanic that she also wants to car painted with flames, subwoofers installed, and a horn that plays "La Cucaracha", saying of the expense "Don't worry, she's loaded." At the end of the episode, Mary managed to get Dick's hands and head superglued to his desk, and they realize how far the prank war has gone and agree to call it off. Then we hear "La Cucaracha" from outside and Judith looks out the window remarks "Mary, it appears your Volvo is back from the shop" as Dick starts laughing.
