Just Your Average Dick

Mary Albright macht eine kritische Bemerkung, die Dick beweist, dass er auch nach der langen Zeit auf der Erde noch immer nicht ganz wie ein Mensch rüberkommt. Dieses Problem bespricht er am Abend sofort mit der Familie. Da die unzureichende Tarnung die Mission gefährdet, hält man Krisensitzung und beschließt, in eine andere Wohnung umzuziehen. Dieses typisch menschliche Verhalten soll unverdächtig erscheinen, endet jedoch in einer Katastrophe ...

John Cleese puts his zaniness to good use in a two-part guest shot as a new professor who's even nuttier than Dick. And smarter. He's hotshot Dr. Liam Neesam, and he's a little too good at everything he does. He makes his first appearance in Part 1, as Albright (Curtin) is getting fed up with the fact that Dick -- and the rest of the Solomons, for that matter -- are "weird." "It's like being around the Addams Family," she moans. So Dick sets out to make his brood "average," and succeeds so completely that Albright finds him boring. Enter the off-kilter Dr. Neesam, who she thinks is kind of charming.

Dick e famiglia si lasciano coinvolgere dalle statistiche degli americani medi e decidono di conformarsi alle regole e alle leggi del mercato. Cominciano ad operare drastici cambiamenti decidendo, per prima cosa,di traslocare in un appartamento più grande e vestire come la media borghesia americana. Addirittura Tommy si taglia i capelli.
