Ever notice how the networks just keep re-hashing the same basic premises and plots for their shows every 10 years or so? This series is a prime example.
1960’s – My Favorite Martian – Wacky alien comes to earth, lives with man and gets into all sorts of crazy adventures.
1970’s – Mork and Mindy – Wacky alien comes to earth, lives with woman and gets into all sorts of crazy adventures.
1980’s – ALF – Wacky alien comes to earth, lives with family and gets into all sorts of crazy adventures.
1990’s – 3rd Rock from the Sun – Wacky aliens come to earth, live as a family and get into all sorts of crazy adventures.

It's just about time for the next installment of crazy alien shows. Let's see ... Wacky aliens from dying planet come to earth, form their own country, get into all sorts of crazy world wide adventures. IT COULD WORK!
