In this fourth episode, "Dick Is from Mars, Sally Is from Venus," Tommy is sent to high school because Dick wants his family to act more like a typical family. Sally has the chance to go on his first date and is encouraged to go by Dick because none of the family has encountered sex yet. Sally goes on her date and has a great time. She tells Dick her date will give her a call. Of course, with Tommy not truly understanding how schools work, has a very tough attitude-and Dick is forced to talk to his teacher about his attitude.

This is another funny, and intelligent episode. With high school added to the picture, more hilarious situations can ensue. I really liked how Mary and Dick set up Sally on a date just so she can experience a casual encounter. Oh, and we get to see aliens cry for the first time! That was quite an amusing scene! Also, Sally's reactions post-date are extremely funny.

Quote of the Episode: Coach Strickland: Fine, you don't wanna climb the rope, you can go sit over there with the girls. Tommy Solomon:-looks towards girls- So, let me get this straight. If I don't climb the rope, then I sit with the girls? Coach Strickland: That's right. Tommy Solomon: Now, help me out here, cause I'm not seeing the down side.

My Grade: B+

See Sally's first date! See Tommy begin his high-school experience! See an alien cry for the first time!

"Dick Is from Mars, Sally Is from Venus" isn't quite as clever as its three predecessors, but it's still quite a day at the office. In their perpetual quest to fulfill their human duties, Dick tells Sally she needs to experience sex. So Nina and Mary set her up with a date who's perfect for her-- or is he?

With everything fun must come something painful-- that's an essence of humanity. And it's something Sally learns here for the first time in this intelligent, but slightly weak, entry. But it's nice to know that this show didn't decrease in quality as steeply as some shows did (cough "Mad Men" cough...).

"He asked me where I'd been all his life." "You didn't tell him?" "All the coordinates! Thank heavens he didn't believe me so I didn't have to kill him.
