Trivia:

In the episode in which Dick ('John Lithgow' ) accidentally hits a chipmunk and rushes it to the vet, he has a very dramatic scene next to the examining table where he rants about his chipmunk being in pain. He yells "Give my chipmunk his shot!", a reference to Terms of Endearment (1983), in which Lithgow also appeared.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Harry brings home a dog in the episode "Green Eyed Dick", the dog runs towards Dick. When he bends down to pick up the dog, you can see the treat in his hand used to draw the dog over.

Quotes:

August: Your son is impossible.
Dick Solomon: And you're a pain in the ass, you're made for each other.

Oh My God!!! I'm Gorgeous!!

err.....grrr....arrgghhh!!! "In Coming Message From The Big Giant Head"

Ever Since Harry (French Stewert) said "You Know Dick....." (In his nasal voice)for the first time I knew that this would be a Brilliant series! When the aliens discovered their human forms (And Sally's Boobs!) They started learning little by little everything that WE take for granted! I say Everyone who appeared on this series were simply BRILLIANT actors and nobody would argue with me! From the first time I saw the high commander salute I salute in no other way!!! My forehead is still sore! Thank you 3rd Rock for 5 wonderful years of bellycramping laughs!! Rock On!!!

This message will end in 5....4.....3....2.... Haaachewww!!!

What did I miss???
