Well, you see, there are these aliens - and as many aliens seem to want to do, they want to study humans. To achieve this, they take the form of humans themselves - a "typical" American family called the Solomons. They then meld effortlessly into human society to observe us. Well, that was the plan, anyway... As this is an excellent comedy series, there are many misunderstandings, strange happenings, other aliens popping in, and of course finding out all the very weird things that we humans do on a daily basis! The Solomons are:Dick (John Lithgow - showing that top film actors can happily do TV) - he becomes a Physics Professor teaching a class who don't understand him. As the High Commander of the mission, he gets to order the others around - which they don't always appreciate! Sally (delectable Kristen Johnston) becomes the 'sister' of Dick. She is technically the Security Officer (and occasionally gets to kick ass), but has to deal with all the concepts associated with being in a human female body in our society... Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) suffers the indignity of taking on the body of a young male - who has to go to school. Particularly annoying (until he gets a girlfriend) as he is actually older than 'Dick'. Harry (French Stewart) is just a little weird, though naturally cooler than Dick. He has a slightly different perception and tends to go for all those obsessions humans love, like TV... Dick shares an office with Dr. Mary Albright (Jane Curtin) and they become strangely, romantically connected. Their ever-suffering and sensible assistant is Nina Campbell (Simbi Khali). Landlady to the Solomons is Mrs Mamie Dubcek (Elmarie Wendel) who is eccentric enough to cope with the strange family. Police Officer Don Orville (Wayne Knight) joined the team as Sally's love interest - a dangerous association when you don't want to be discovered as aliens... The head honcho from their Home Planet is "The Big Giant Head" - when he eventually appears in person on occasion, he looks just like William Shatner. |
