DESCRIPTION:
(from Sci Fi's press release) This comedic pilot about three humanoid aliens stranded in middle America explores the themes found in such classics as Stranger In A Strange Land, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Starman, but with a healthy dose of South Park-like satire. Stranded on our world under false pretenses, the intrepid trio - a woman and two men in human form - must figure out how to escape, while navigating the subtle and confusing social conventions of present-day Earth. Despite their extremely advanced technology and intellect, they find themselves naive in the commonplace things that humans take for granted: falling in love, paying bills, the joys of a chocolate binge, etc. |
