Season One is the best year of 3rd Rock From The Sun because, as a high-concept sitcom where success is predicated on episodic satisfaction of the premise, when the “novelty of premise” has already dwindled this much by Two, One is quickly proven as more ideal. Fortunately, while this decline will continue over the next three years, there’ll still be a decent number of identity-validating episodes produced each season — just not as many as in One, or even Two, which itself reveals this trajectory inside itself, with the first half of the year doing a much better job than the latter of premise-affirmation.

Those were all good episodes, but to me the best episode was the one where John Cleese is a guest alien and out performs Dick on many different playing fields.

And the funniest single scene (to me) is where they go to the kitchen supply store and Harry puts on two oven mitts and animately chases Tommy around the store shouting "I've got lobster claws!!"
