3rd Rock From The Sun premiered on NBC on January 9, 1996. The series is about a group of aliens who come to Earth to study the life here. They need to blend in, so they take on human forms and names. they know nothing about being human or even that we have male and female sexes. The high commander of the mission, Dick, gets a job as a professor at the university and meets the love of his life, Dr. Mary Albright. The other crew members take on various forms. Sally, the mission's first officer who is in charge of security, has to be the woman. Depending on the show she either likes or hates this. Tommy, who is the intelligence officer and is actually the oldest crew member, gets to be a teenage boy complete with teenage hormones and teenage emotions. And then there's Harry. Harry doesn't seem to have a purpose on the mission other than communicating with the "Big Giant Head" (their boss who is light years away). In fact, Harry doesn't seem to do much of anything well. But he makes a hysterical job of his ineptness. The humor in the show is that by trying to learn about humans and fit in, they point out to us, the audience, things that are interesting, funny, sad, or just plain bizarre about our species. This, along with being the funniest show on television, makes it hip beyond hip.
