A 3rd Rock from the Sun Cast Reunion at Vulture Festival

Vulture Festival 2021 played host to the first-ever cast reunion of 3rd Rock from the Sun. John Lithgow, French Stewart, Kristen Johnston and Joseph Gordon-Levitt got together to share memories and a few surprises.

[@frankcarter7146]

One of the best shows EVER. Perfect casting. Perfect scripts. Freakin HILARIOUS.

[@juliemiller9760]

John Lithgow actually does seem 'other worldly.' No one else could do what he does, and never break character for an instant! Kristen Johnson is wonderful...then and now in 'Mom'.

[@reannabaker4]

You're absolutely right! This show, the writers and actors should be studied by script writers and network executives for inspiration. There aren't many television shows worth watching and rarely sitcoms that actually make me literally laugh out loud. Everything about this show is golden!

3rd Rock from the Sun is so underrated. It deserves to be ranked up there with other great sitcoms like Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, The Simpsons, Fresh Prince, The Office, Parks and Rec, Community, Brooklyn Nine Nine, etc. It's so funny and clever and it's a shame that it's not a more well known sitcom nowadays

[@laurelrobbins8673]

Absolutely!

[@fivizzano]

I think it is WAY BETTER than those "other" sitcoms... on level of Fawlty Towers as fas as LONGEVITY and EVER freshness and quality ....!!!

[@taylor22222222]

So agree with you! When he got up on stage so warmly welcomed and being one of my favorite characters from the show and seeing how welcomed he was by everyone else up there really is beautiful. I'm probably going to start the series over again for maybe the 4th run through for me because it's definitely my favorite sitcom and definitely a top 5 spot for my favorite shows.. the writing and execution never skipped a beat all the way up to the finale.

Joseph Gordon levy is one of the biggest stars right now but the humility, generosity and kindness of his energy is so awesome. It’s rare to see that in cast shows where some of the cast have more celebrity than others.

One that absolutely stunned me was how, when the group greeted Shatner at the airport, he remarked at seeing the goblin on the wing of the airplane during the flight. And Dick responds, "Yes, wasn't that weird?" And Shatner had played that character on The Twilight Zone the TV show, and John had played the same character on The Twilight Zone, the movie. I was breathless at the brilliance of that.

[@brianm2881]

The line was even funnier than that, Sally:"How was your trip, sir??" Head:"Horrifying!! I looked out the window and there was something on the wing of the plane!!" Dick:"The same thing happened to me!"

Better yet, a reunion movie that sees the Salomon family reunite to save our world from The Big Giant's Big Giant Evil Son by rebooting the Earth. It would not only save our world but re-introduce new versions of The Salomon family(I know, new actors but they'd still be our much loved aliens). The movie's plot would be like INFINITY WAR but relegated to only a single 2hr streaming movie.

[@rscats67]

Agree it would be nice to briefly bring them back. Maybe just a 2 hour movie for them to check in on things and in the end they decide it's much too nutty for them to ever live here again. I like the Tik Tok idea, maybe marveling at Uber and making friends with the driver, ordering food from your phone and of course ordering too much and gaining weight, believing everything they read on the internet, and getting scared because there is evidence surfacing that aliens are here on earth...only to discover that it's THEM people have been seeing! Then Tommy and Harry have to fess up that they were joy riding all this time!! Just some thoughts without making things too political. This would be intended for laughs not groans.

[@DokkaChapman]

They could totally do a series of specials where the cast returned to Earth in present day. Having to wear older versions of their human selves so as to not rouse suspicion. Dick goes on the hunt for Mary (because that is the real reason they have come back, though he's told the crew otherwise) in the hopes that she can remember him again. Sally coming to terms with being a cougar, Tommy not understanding why he's not "down with the kids" anymore, Harry getting caught up in fake news and possibly becoming a viral social media star just because of the way he is. There's so much they could fit into a set of 45 minute specials that - with the right people writing - could really give the fans something awesome to look back on. :)

[@rjnagle]

Stone Phillips Jr, the lovechild of BG Head and Vicki Dubchek wants to visit his birthplace on Earth, and build a bigger, badder version of Monkeyworld -- (Or a BIG GIANT WALL, or something crassly commercial like that). The gang has to find him and stop him (and solve global warming in the process) before some alien hunters dissect him and sell the story to Fox News. Also, they want to look up old friends and catch up on soap operas. Don Orville would have some lowly job as a security guard as a big box store until Sally finds him and recruits him to help the investigation (but not before inspiring him, seducing him and revealing she always was a space alien). . August Leffler will be a crusading journalist trying to expose the evil oligarchy financing Stone Phillips' empire -- completely unaware of his alien provenance. Nina would be Dean of Students at Pendleton, while Vincent Strudwick would be Pendleton's president. Neither would know about Mary Albright's whereabouts -- only that Mary is off doing undercover fieldwork with some secretive scientology-like cult. Turns out that Stone Phillips Jr. gets all confused and builds Monkeyworld inside a videogame simulation. The old gang is chased by debt collectors who are looking for someone to pay for the astronomical credit card bill from Season 6. At some point there has to be a shot of a lovelorn Don staring into space and wondering where Sally is now. Other things I'd like to see: one of them getting a messed up body and have to trade it several times, Mary's sister Renata (aka Megan Mullaly) has to be visited to provide clues about Mary's whereabouts, Transistor Harry needs to get hacked by either Russians or some unknown band of aliens, Tommy gets Internet famous by accident and tries unsuccessfully to gain more followers, Sally has to team up with Don to find Stone Jr. until they find him locked up in a room playing a massively multiplayer online game version of Earth (aka "Monkeyworld Planet") leaving it unclear which is the simulation and which is the reality. Gosh, I could write 5 episodes in no time. You could never recover the original magic of the 3 camera show with live audience, but a one camera show would still work -- and you wouldn't need to create a conceit of aliens learning about X; all you really need are catching up with old characters and being surprised at how things have changed in a mere 20 years...

So glad they brought up the leather pants bit as that is hands down my favorite. John plays it SO straight and Jane just not being able to keep it together kills me. Even after Jane starts laughing and John has moved into the hallway and sets his pose and move which gets Jane all over again. Just too much.

[@jarredkennedy6131]

I was raised on this wonderful show. I'm autistic, so I think in hindsight I loved it so much because metaphorically I myself was an alien socially, and it allowed me to escape from that and laugh, even if for only 30 minutes a week every Sunday night, which was when it aired here in Australia. Plus, the rest of my family also got that chance as we watched it together most weeks. (Nonetheless, as an adult I still consider it so intelligent, relatable and entertaining because the Solomons may have been aliens but they were actually no more socially inept than the human characters.) I thank everybody who ever worked on it, for the memories and the timeless laughs.

[@AndyFelbab]

Until he took on this role who knew that he could be so fuckin' funny (quite similar to Leslie Nielsen prior to Airplane & Naked Gun; dramatic actors who turned out to be absolutely fantastic when cast in comic roles).

The moments where John Lithgow isn't sure whether to refer to Joseph as Joey or Joe; Joseph and French having a spontaneous hug; the delight when Wayne Knight enters the stage; especially from John Lithgow; and the sublimely talented and spirited Kristen Johnston who was the revelation for me when the series first aired back in 1995. Great moderator and questions. Honestly I could have spent a weekend with these people.

A List movie stars didn't do TV at that time. It's a recent thing

This show was fantastic! I remember being in my early 20’s watching it now my teenage daughters watch it on Roku and love it too! 😃👍
