The show premiered three years after the filmConeheads,which was also written by the couple and featured a similar premise of aliens arriving on Earth and assimilating into American society.

Overview

edit

The premise of the show revolves around an extraterrestrial research expedition hailing from a planet in abarred spiral galaxyon theCepheus-Dracoborder attempting to live as a normal human family in the fictional city of Rutherford,Ohio,said to be 52 mi (84 km) outside ofClevelandwhere they live in anattic apartment.The show's humor is principally derived from the aliens' attempts to studyhuman societyand understand thehuman condition,while living as humans on Earth, reflecting on human life from the perspective of aliens. Most of the episodes are named after the protagonist, Dick. In later episodes, they have become more accustomed to Earth and are often more interested in their human lives than in their mission.

The show also takes humor from its mirroring of all human anthropological expeditions and their assumptions of superiority to the "natives", as well as their inability to distinguish themselves from the natives. Dr.Mary Albright(Jane Curtin) is a professor ofanthropologyat fictional Pendelton State University, and many of the issues with which the four aliens struggle appear in her conversation and work. Furthermore, these four alien researchers end up looking approximately like joyriders as they get drawn increasingly further into human life.

Dick Solomon(John Lithgow), the High Commander and leader of the expedition, is the family provider and aphysicsprofessor at Pendelton (with Lithgow's eldest sonIanplaying Leon, one of his less-successful students). Information officer and oldest member of the crewTommy(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has been given the body of ateenagerand is forced to enroll in high school (later college), leaving security officerSally(Kristen Johnston) and "the one with the transmitter in his head",Harry(French Stewart), to spend their lives as 20-somethings hanging out at home and bouncing through short-term jobs. The show also involves their relationships with humans, mostly their love interests.

The family often communicates through Harry with their off-world (and usually unseen) Boss, theBig Giant Head,who when he finally visits Earth, is played byWilliam Shatner.Harry unexpectedly (and often in inconvenient circumstances) stands up, his arms stiff (acting as the antenna), and proclaims: "Incoming message from the Big Giant Head!"

Production

edit

Theme music

edit

The show's opening theme music, composed byBen Vaughn,was originally a 1950s-style rock-and-roll instrumental piece for the first four seasons; the theme was extended slightly in season three, when Simbi Khali, Elmarie Wendel, and Wayne Knight were officially made series regulars and added to the opening credits. During season one,James Earl Jonesprovided a voice introduction describing the crew. For Christmas episodes, jingle bells were added to the theme. The only major change to the theme was in season five, when the original Ben Vaughn version was replaced by a big band cover of the theme, performed by the groupBig Bad Voodoo Daddy,and was only used during that season. For the sixth and final season, the original theme returned and a modern jazz underline version of the theme was used for two episodes.

Title sequence

edit

The opening title sequence, which was produced by the London graphic design firm SVC Television, opens with computerized shots of planets and celestial bodies, some either with the planets dancing or moving in warp speed. It opens and closes with a shot of Earth (which at the open is where the show's title logo appears, after a sunburst appears on the side of Earth). For the sixth and final season only, the typeface of the cast and creators' names was altered.

A tie-in book,3rd Rock from the Sun: The Official Report On Earth,was released in 1997. It is essentially a report of the Solomons' findings during their stay on Earth. Primarily a source of humor, the book includes such features as "What to do if you encounter Jell-O", a fan biography ofKatie Couricwritten by Harry, and Sally's version of aCosmoquiz. Portions of the book are included in the booklets inside each season set of the series.

Despite the report's being set within the fictional world of3rd Rock,a foreword written by John Lithgow himself is included in which he explains how he was abducted by the3rd Rockproducers and forced to work on their production. A Post-it note is attached to the foreword, apparently written by Dick Solomon, stating he does not know why the foreword is there, but that Lithgow is an Earth actor who appeared in "some helicopter movie".
