Set in the fictional city of Rutherford, Ohio,
3rd Rock from the Sun follows a team of eccentric
aliens cleverly disguised as humans on a quest
to learn about earthlings and their traditions.
The award-winning comedy is from Producers Marcy
Carsey and Tom Werner, who shared credits include:
“That ‘70s Show,” “The Cosby Show” and “Roseanne”
and Bonnie and Terry Turner, former “Saturday
Night Live” writers and co-creators of “That ‘70s
Show.” The 3rd Rock from the Sun Season One four
disc set is loaded with extras and it will be
available for a suggested retail price of $39.98.
The release is backed by an out-of-this world
marketing campaign that will generate over 130
million consumer impressions and include national
TV, print and online. The pre-order date is June
28.
The high commander of this team of aliens is
Dr. Dick Solomon (Lithgow), who has taken a position
as a professor of physics at the University of
Ohio. Dick’s associate on the mission is a decorated
military officer who takes human form as a sexy
female named Sally (Johnston) and his intelligence
specialist is put in the body of Tommy (Gordon-Levitt)
a teenager going through puberty. And since there
was an extra seat on the voyage Harry Solomon
joined the mission. Harry is the goofy oddball
who has a telepathic connection with their leader
from home, the Big Giant Head.
Hilarity ensues as the team adjusts to their
new human forms and the earthlings around them.
Dick finds himself sharing a cramped office with
Dr. Mary Albright (Curtin), towards whom he feels
a strange attraction. Sally, meanwhile, becomes
obsessed with Officer Don Orville (Knight). Along
the way the team also encounters and studies their
eccentric landlord Ms. Dubcek (Elmarie Wendel,
And the Band Played On) and Dr. Albright’s assistant,
Nina Campbell (Simbi Khali, A Vampire in Brooklyn).
Producers
Bonnie and Terry Turner described the half-hour
comedy that dealt with the human condition as
“Caral Sagan meets the Marx Brother.” Terry Turner
explained that the honesty of the show lies in
the alien’s viewpoint, “The ability to walk in
and size up a situation with unclouded judgment
is disarming and terrifyingly powerful. There
is nothing more alien than the absolute truth.”
The alien team allows the audience to see human
flaws and absurdities through humor and comedy.
