John....of course it's overacting!

That's the idea. The whole series is ridculous but hilarious. As someone whose seen "a lot of TV sitcoms",3rd rock is far from the stupidest.[/quote]
Yes, I guess I am getting 'too old', as this was just so over acted with the actors pushing way too hard for me to think as hilarious, a bit funny yes, but that is about it for me. Too much of the same ol stuff for me now on most these type shows, so I seldom watch any sitcoms anymore. I watched Chuck last season, I liked it, but I think it is gone now. Glad you liked it anyway, different strokes for different folks is just fine.
