User Reviews

A low point in television comedy.

This show was absolutely sickening, a "3rd Rock From The Sun" rip-off all the way. It concerned a man who married an alien, and then has unfunny adventures. The aliens were cheap, and the jokes were awful. A definite low point in the history of television sitcoms.
