- TriviaA few of the songs Harry got from the Records club were "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant and "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham!
- GoofsMary claims she burned her bra on campus at Berkley. No college woman ever burned her bra in the 60's on or off campus. Women sometimes brought extra bra's from home and threw them in the trash, not the bra's they were wearing.
- Quotes
Dr. Mary Albright: [talking about the '60s] You wouldn't believe it to look at me now, but back then, I was a wild woman. If I wanted to do something, I just did it. Did you ever drop acid?
Dr. Dick Solomon: [lying] Oh, constantly.
Dr. Mary Albright: You did a lot of tripping?
Dr. Dick Solomon: That's how I dropped the acid.

Featured review
Is Dick An Old Soul?
"The Dicks They Are A-Changin'" is the fourteenth episode of the hit comedy series, 3rd Rock from the Sun. It's a good episode, but it could have been great considering the subject matter. When the Solomons first came to Earth, Tommy did not give the family his personal background. That makes it interesting when Dr. Albright brings up their past. She believes that Dick was an activist hiding from the FBI- a man that she met in the 1960's. Dick pretends he is that guy. The Solomons also get to experience the sound of music when Harry joins a CD fan club (wow, I remember these!).
The whole subject matter certainly intrigues me, but I do not think the episode played it to its high potential. That said, there are still plenty of jokes. Apparently, frozen French fries can be passed off as joints, as least in the mind of Dick Solomon's. I do the B-storyline about the CD's. Makes me feel my age, but at least Harry has some good taste. Nothing wrong with Wham!
My Grade: B
