I think it wore out it's welcome a couple of years ago, but even before that, it was only mildly amusing. John Lithgow was very good, however.

I didn't even know they were still making new ones ;)

I stopped watching a while ago because they were on opposite of two other shows that I felt were better. I did really enjoy it when it first came on, but then, I don't know, it lost it's charm.

I liked the earlier shows but it got old really quickly.

I would agree that Lithgow is very good though...

edytwinky 04-06-01 03:24 PM

Nope, no tear shedded here

I'll definetly will miss the show, I think it sucked that they changed the day a few times, I usually forget its on, I usually watch That 70's Show, but would tape 3rd Rock.

JohnPhoenix 04-07-01 07:32 AM

I always thought 3rd Rock was really funny, but I was never compelled to watch it. I'd always go for something "better" if it was on at the same time, which unfortunately there always was.

matchpenalty 04-07-01 08:02 AM

nope, got old fast. say goodnight

Bobubott 04-07-01 12:39 PM

I couldn't stand all those weird dream sequence-style episodes.

I agree with JohnPhoenix... when I happened to catch it, I usually thought it was kind of funny, but I never made it a point to sit down and watch the show.

greeny 04-07-01 01:34 PM

I really liked 3rd Rock ever since it started. I stopped watching it this season, the few shows I saw this season weren't too funny. I would much rather be watching That 70's Show. :)

dvdnaut 04-07-01 02:43 PM

i never watched it, could care less.

Mafia81RCV 04-07-01 03:34 PM

I never cared for the show at all. Good riddance IMO.

ElNino 04-07-01 06:23 PM

The show never did anything for me so I for one won't miss it.

Junaid 04-07-01 11:44 PM

I've only seen upto Season 4, so I've got a few more series to enjoy yet. Or at least I hope so, as I've heard it got really poor in it's final run.
But from what I've seen so far, it's an above average sitcom. And the leggy blonde is a cool bonus.

BTW anyone know if the guy & girl who played Tommy & Alyssa were a couple in real life?

demon 04-07-01 11:49 PM

I'm kinda disappointed, but the newer ones aren't very funny so it doesn't matter much. I must admit the first ~5 times I saw the show I thought it was just okay, but after a while I grew a great appreciation for the very clever and witty writing and mostly fabulous cast (Lithgow is goddamn hilarious). There were quite a few episodes and many many scenes in 3rd Rock that I have to say were some of the funniest I've ever seen in a sitcom. So yeah, I thought it was a really good show, and I heard it even got a couple emmy's or something (I think). However, the past season or two it's gotten kind of repetitive and the show has wore off its charm. But I think some people just look at it and see a 'stupid' show about aliens from outer space with overly-zaney characters, but the concept of the show made for some pretty good and darn-right funny plots and scenes, and the show has a lot of really funny and well-developed characters perfectly casted.
I always thought Alyssa was pretty cute too. :)

Well, at first I thought the show was stupid and didn't watch it. But then I actually saw one and thought it was funny. Lithgow makes that show. But I haven't been following it lately. They had some weird shows set in alternate past or something. Are those the dream show? I hate that kind of stuff.

Whatever it failings, just remember this:

When I caught it I loved it, when I didn't, I couldn't care less. Hehe...only tv I watch now is Food channel!

Jackskeleton 04-08-01 02:28 AM

I'm glad, i never liked the show. and sitting through the re-runs on fox waiting for the simpsons to come on was a pain (they aired the older episodes in syndication before the simpsons syndication)

Ya know if it was a "pain" to sit through the show, for whatever reason, there are those 'chnl up' and 'chnl down' buttons on your remote.
