The show was about a "family" of four extraterrestrials that landed on Earth to observe human beings, while pretending (often awkwardly) to be humans.
Third Rock uses comedic elements which are strikingly unusual in modern North American television comedy, yet drawn from established sources.

 Television Heaven
A to Z of TV Originally pitched to ABC, 3rd Rock From The Sun was the creation of Bonnie and Terry Turner, co-writers of the movies Wayne's World and Coneheads, who would later write another hit US series, That 70's Show.
3rd Rock From The Sun also attracted offbeat guest stars such as better living maven Martha Stewart; football coach Mike Ditka; Star Trek's William Shatner as the "Big Giant Head", the leader of the aliens' home planet; and Roseanne as the "Big Giant Head's" daughter, whom Solomon is forced to marry in one episode.
Although its quality was somewhat uneven in its later years, "3rd Rock" was a generally well-acted and funny show-John Lithgow was a revelation in his first comedic role and the series as a whole was a refreshing change from the "single people in the city" sitcoms that proliferated during the late 1990's.

 PARANOIA - The Late Great Planet Tiamat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Among catastrophists there is substantial disagreement on the matter of the "missing" fifth Planet from the Sun, in the place of which lies the Great Band, the debris of an enormous planet which the Sumerians knew as Tiamat.
According to Sumerian/Babylonian cosmogony (cosmic genesis), the fifth Planet from the Sun, Tiamat, was shunted to third position by a calamitous event, one now well known by followers of Planet X Theory.
Lloyd has argued that the shunting of the Earth from the position of fifth from the Sun to third had to have occurred some 3.9 billion years ago and not 65 million years ago during the reign of the dinosaurs.

Early spacecraft needed many large radiators to get rid of heat because space is essentially a giant vacuum, and so heat does not easily flow out of the ship.
Sun flares, for example, produce large amounts of cancer causing x-rays and gamma-rays, and a bad solar flare can kill an unprotected astronaut by radiation sickness.
Astronauts are protected from solar and cosmic ray exposure by small amounts of shielding on the ship, and by a special "storm shelter" on the ship that is a well shielded area usually surrounded by water tanks (that help to absorb some of the radiation)

 BBC - Comedy - Guide - 3rd Rock From The Sun
US programme makers have often exploited the comic potential of extra-terrestrials trying to blend in with everyday American society - My Favorite Martian, Mork And Mindy, ALF and the Coneheads (within Saturday Night Live had all mined laughs from the situation, but perhaps the finest realisation of the premise was 3rd Rock From The Sun.
Although a basic and perhaps unoriginal idea, the execution of 3rd Rock From The Sun was superb.
The battles endured by the strongly drawn alien characters in coming to terms with their environment and Earthly bodies added spice to the convoluted plots and witty dialogue, and strong support was provided as Dr Albright by Jane Curtin and by Simbi Khali as the feisty, perennially mini-skirted assistant Nina.

The four-disc set contains the 22 first-season episodes, commentary on selected episodes, character profiles and a making-of featurette (hidden on the second disc) with a sweet anecdote about Henry Mancini, who scored the series.
With not only the full season of the show's slapstick comedic celebration of humanity in this boxed set ($39.99), but also a 10-minute interview with almost every cast member and a "best of" featurette plus blooper reel, "Third Rock's" place of privilege in the pantheon of American physical comedies is all but assured.
Or, rather, the DVD's is. Which is pretty good for a set of discs that come in a talking box.
