The show didn't need all of the sexual stuff to be funny


The whole idea of aliens trying to figure out human behavior and how the character's personalities were written was funny enough. If you think about it, you have a child actor talking about sex likes he's an adult is weird as well. I mean it's a real kid. I know nobody thinks of that type of stuff really. Anybody agree?

They'd be curious, of course. But they all acted like particularly horny sailors on leave, not a group of scientists studying the people of earth.

It is possible to be funny without constant sexual innuendo, which made it predictable. It is possible, but most Hollywood writers go for what's cheap and easy anymore.
