    • Trivia
      3rd Rock from the Sun (1996) was originally slated to air on ABC, which had recently been bought by Disney. The network dropped the bawdy extra-terrestrial comedy in favor of this family-friendly show produced by the Jim Henson Company, which Disney also owned. "3rd Rock" went on to air on NBC for six seasons; "Aliens in the Family" was canceled after only two episodes had aired.

    A live action Family Guy?

    The premise of this show wasn't bad, but it's timing and time slot may have done it in.

    Alien Brady Bunch? Perhaps. The baby had funny lines that became catchphrases around my house. Alien kids from Henson's Muppet Shop, so they were quality. I would have liked to see more, and see the episodes I missed which may have given exposition on the looks of the kids...

    Well written, to my mind. Easy to watch, laughs abound in each episode. Is that so bad? It was supposed to be a comedy. However, most well written comedies don't survive anywhere on TV, much less basic cable. Such a shame.

    Nice lighthearted fare, safe for the whole family.
