3rd Rock From The Sun
The phrase "3rd rock from the sun" refers to Earth, the 3rd planet from the sun, and the show 3rd Rock from the Sun was a TV series that followed a group of aliens trying to adapt to our planet.
The show had 139 episodes, which ran on NBC from January 1996 until April 2001, and starred John Lithgow, Kristen Johnston, French Stewart and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as aliens sent to Earth to observe the citizens. And, what better way to observe then to blend in as a normal Earth family (Solomon family). During their stay on Earth the family learned about dating, relationships, friendship, anger and all of the other emotions that humans go through.
The main characters of the show were:
