Another human emotion is discovered for the first time here: jealousy!

Dick grows very jealous of Mary's old friend Jeff (Ed Begley Jr.), who's spending more time with her and (gasp!) hugging her!

Before he knows it, Dick has unwittingly let his emotions run totally out of control, leading to a hilarious bookstore confrontation.

A slight improvement over "Dick, Smoker," "Green-Eyed Dick" just has more of that "3rd Rock" essence that you've hopefully come to expect by this time. It contains plenty of terrific humor, but isn't as good as the first three episodes were. And despite the disturbing title, it's still somewhat fun.

This isn't a thimble. It's Turkish nipple armor.

How does Dick experience jealously for the first time? In this sixth episode, "Green-Eyed Dick," you'll find out! On his way to his office, Dick sees two people hugging each other. Fascinated with that sensation, he asks Mary to hug her-but she refuses. Seconds later, her friend, Jeff (played by the wonderful Ed Begley, Jr) walks in and starts hugging her. Ta da, Dick feels jealous! He later recruits Sally to help him understand what jealously is. Meanwhile, Harry finds a stray dog and wants to keep it as a pet.

This episode, while amusing, is a bit weaker when compared to the prior episodes. There is still plenty of humor that we come to expect from this show, and it was interesting for Dick to try and understand the feeling of jealousy. Ed Begley Jr does make a wonderful guest appearance.

Quote of the Episode:

Dr. Dick Solomon: This isn't a thimble. It's Turkish nipple armor. It's very valuable, especially if you have a pair.
