The show was about a group of extraterrestrial scientists on an expedition of what they considered to be the least important planet, Earth (the "3rd Rock" from the Sun), posing as a "family" of four to observe human beings, while pretending to be humans. The show aired in the United States on NBC during its original run, but reruns have not been shown in the U.S. for several years. In Britain, the show was originally broadcast on BBC2, later on ITV2 then ITV4, and currently on SCI FI Channel . In Australia, it was shown on the Seven Network and now on Pay-TV channel Fox Classics. In Egypt and the Middle East the show was broadcast on MBC4 and reruns have been shown several time. The sixth and final season, however, was never broadcast in the region. In Indonesia the show aired on Jak-TV, a local television station in Jakarta. Reruns also air on Subtv in Finland, and on Kabel 1 in Germany. "As many intelligent people know, aliens are all around us. This is a story of a band of four such explorers. In order to blend in, they have assumed human form. This is the High Commander [Dick]. He has assembled an elite team of experts: A decorated military officer [Sally], a seasoned intelligence specialist [Tommy] and [Harry], well, they had an extra seat." The premise of the show revolves around an extraterrestrial research expedition attempting to live as a "normal" human family in the fictional city of Rutherford, Ohio, where they live in a loft apartment. Humor was principally derived from the aliens’ attempts to study human society and, due to their living as humans themselves whilst on Earth, to understand the human condition. In later episodes, they became more accustomed to Earth and often seemed to be more interested in their human lives than in their mission. "Dick’s Big Giant Headache" insinuates that this may be due to the effect the frailty of the human condition has on them. Dick Solomon (played by John Lithgow), the High Commander and leader of the expedition, is the family provider and takes a position as a physics professor at Pendelton State University. Information officer Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has been given the body of a teenager and is forced to enroll in high school (later University), leaving security officer Sally (Kristen Johnston) and communications officer Harry (French Stewart) to spend their lives as thirty somethings hanging out at home and bouncing through short-term jobs. The family often communicates with their off world (and usually unseen) boss, "The Big Giant Head", (BGH) who apparently only got the job by kissing "The Big Giant Butt". When in human form, "The Big Giant Head" (William Shatner) is an arrogant, alcoholic sexual predator. His orders are received by Harry, who unexpectedly (and often in inconvenient circumstances) stands erect, his arms stiff (acting as the antenna), and proclaims: "Incoming message from the Big Giant Head" (originally, Harry did not have a purpose on the mission at all, but it was later revealed that he has a transmitter implanted in his brain which allows contact with the BGH. To make himself seem important, he subsequently described himself as the "communications officer"). The Cheers TV / Watch 3rd Rock from the Sun online
