Note about Nielson Ratings:
A show's rating is a percentage of all 95.9 million American
TV's (in the first season) and 97 million American TV's (in the
second season), including those turned off, which are tuned into
that show for that week. A rating of 1.0 would correspond with
1% or 959,000 homes tuned in in the first season, and 970,000
homes tuned in in the second season. Thank-you Nathan Humbard.

**Brains And Eggs**EP#101
Our four lovable aliens come to earth and assume the form of
humans, rent a 3rd floor apartment and Dick gets a job as a
Physics professor. Sally learns lessons about being female,
Tommy discovers the agony of puberty and Harry discovers the
joy of holding a flashlight. At the last minute, it is Dick
who prolongs the 2 week assignment (much to the dismay of
Sally and Tommy), because they can't leave until they have
explored Feelings (the core of the human experience). In
particular, those of his office mate Dr. Albright.

Tommy has his first make-out session and brings a bug home

sneezes are great, but every one finds out that the rest of
being sick is a real drag (if not a bonding experience). In
spite of this, Sally develops an instinctual desire to take
care of everyone else, while Harry gets comforted by a
hallucinated image of Martha Stewart. Despite being sick
too, Dick goes to a wedding with Dr. Albright--after taking
an entire bottle of cough syrup.
