I have watched and re-watched all of the sitcoms from the 90's and by far 3rd Rock from the Sun was the best show apparently nobody else watched.
The concept for the show was brilliant as well as groundbreaking. How would aliens react to experiencing life through human body's for the very first time. Their hilarious antics and reactions to normal everyday life in American society keeps me in stitches.
John Lithgow (Dick Solomon) won an Emmy for "Outstanding Lead Actor" for each year the show ran (1996-2001) With Kristen Johnston (Sally Solomon) winning "Outstanding Supporting Actress" from 1997-1999. In 1997 and 1998 The show won "Outstanding comedy series". In 1997 "Third Rock" won more Primetime Emmy awards then any other television show winning 5 of 8 Emmy nominations.
So imagine my shock when I look up "best sitcoms of all time" and to my complete dismay there is no mention of this wonderful show. Imagine my shock when I check list after list after list and nobody listed "3rd Rock". Instead I see "Friends" and "Seinfeld"......SERIOUSLY?
If you haven't watched 3rd Rock from the Sun then you really haven't seen "the best" sitcom of the 90's.
