I'll never know whether the story was interesting because I couldn't get past the pacing of the dialog: it's as though the actors were just taking turns saying words aloud, with an interminable beat between each turn.
Obviously a number of the actors and actresses went on to better gigs and enjoy successful careers, but this wasn't fun.

"Resident Alien" is a wonderfully quirky show, as much inspired by "Northern Exposure" as "My Favorite Martian", with human characters that, like Harry (the alien), become more human over time.
I don't usually write reviews, but sweet jesus, the handful of harsh reviews from simplistic backbiters is annoying.
Not every show has to be written for the lowest common denominator and no show can possibly appeal to everybody.
You don't enjoy the show's quirks? Fine: move on. Let those of us who enjoy it continue to do so without dragging it down. You'll doubtless find the kind of fare you're looking for every night on the networks.
Go with god, but go now.

"I dunno nothing about climbing... except onto broads and motorcycles." --Peter Boyle replies to Donald Sutherland in a Brando voice when asked to climb into someplace to steal something.
"A '50 Studie!" --Donald Sutherland exclaims when he sees a 1950 Studebaker at a demolition derby, the only model he had yet to crash into in his derby driving days before prison.
Most, if not all, of the members of the comedy group The Committee appear in the movie and there's a great bit that defies description involving Hessman, his henchman, a sort of movie-prop housefront with someone pretending to be an out-of-control guard dog barking at the window while one of the others tries to hold him back.
I think Sutherland said in a Playboy interview that it was during the filming of this movie that Jane Fonda raised his consciousness.
Sigh, I never would have seen most of my favorite movies if it weren't for revival houses that brought this and other classic or off-beat movies back from time to time. Sadly, most of those theaters are long gone too these days.
