A review from IMDb.com:
Four aliens have come to Earth to research humans. Dick
Solomon (John Lithgow) is the commander of the mission
and he gets a job at the little local college. Sally
(Kristen Johnston) is the security officer who is posing
as Dick's sister. Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the
intelligence officer who is bitter posing as Dick's horny
teenage son. Harry (French Stewart) is the communication
device who is posing as Dick's clueless brother. Dr.
Mary Albright (Jane Curtin) is both angry and in love
with the strange new professor Solomon. Other notable
recurring stars include Wayne Knight as the hopeless
Officer Don who is in lust for Sally. William Shatner
is leader of the alien race The Big Giant Head. Jan Hooks
is the promiscuous Vicki Dubcek.
The foursome is hilarious. It is the usual fish out of
water storyline. I love almost every episode. The biggest
annoyance comes from a guest starring role with Roseanne
Barr. She started the 3rd season and almost killed the
show for me. Other than that, it had a good 5 seasons
with mostly wild and crazy fun. This is from husband
and wife team Terry and Bonnie Turner who also created
another one of my favorite 'That '70s Show'. The sixth
season has the problem of older grumpy teen JGL. He's
too serious and is missing for much of the season. The
chemistry is off but all shows must end eventually. - SnoopyStyle
