[[File:Dick_6397.png|frame]]
'''Dr. Dick Solomon''' ([[John Lithgow]]) - High Commander of the aliens. Played by Lithgow as a [[Large Ham]], Dick is an [[Insufferable Genius]] when it comes to science and a [[Ted Baxter]] when it comes to everything else. He is in love with Mary Albright [[Single
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Doesn't understand sarcasm or lying very well.
** An example would be when Mary compared his family to [[The Addams Family (TV)|The Addams Family]]. Dick assumed she meant second president John Adams. When she states that wasn't what she meant, Dick thinks she meant John Quincy Adams and becomes enraged that she would compare his family to "that freakshow".
* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Once blurted out to his class that Earth would be destroyed by a meteor in 2015.
* [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]]: Got addicted to collecting stuffed animals called "Fuzzy Buddies". His friends and family staged an intervention when it reached the point that he had so many he was keeping them in the freezer.
* [[Professional Butt
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: While handing out a test to his class, he openly told them that none of them would be able to solve question four, which made up half the test.
** He's actually really bad at what he does. Tommy's pointed out that he's had the same students in his class for six years.
*** And Mary witnessed his pathetic attempt at teaching a little girl to play hopscotch in the park, which resulted in the little girl running away while Dick hurled insults at her.
* [[Single
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Had three, the only frequent one being Vincent Strudwick. The other two were fellow alien Liam Neeson, and grumpy lunch lady Lucy.
* [[What Does She See in Him?|What Does He See In Her?]]: The other aliens hate Mary and don't understand what Dick's obsession with her is. As the series progressed their opinion of her as a person softened, but they still hated the idea of the two of them together.
[[File:Sally3_8132.png|frame]]
'''Sally Solomon''' (Kristen Johnston) - Security Officer and Dick's "sister". A [[Hot Amazon]] who didn't like being "[[The Chick|The Woman]]" at first, but eventually discovered that being a [[Hello, Nurse!|six-foot-tall blonde bombshell]] has [[Femme Fatale|its advantages]]. Works as the Solomons' homemaker despite being a [[Lethal Chef]].
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Borders on this at times, such as when her role as the security officer would require having to kill someone deemed a threat to the mission. Her solution to stop an auditor from discovering they're aliens was to snap his neck, and then the necks of everyone they encounter on the way home.
Line 52:
** Actually came in handy, as this rendered her immune to the drugged wine given to her by Charlotte from "Alien Hunter". Of course, it didn't help when she knocked Mary out with the gnome.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Her alternate universe counterpart "Kiki" is this, a bitter and cold woman who doesn't believe in love anymore. Mary has the potential to be this, but she actually handles all of the stress of a horrible childhood and a somewhat crappy career better than you would expect.
* [[Child
{{quote| '''Mary''': Dick, I can't have children.<br />
'''Dick''': Oh Mary, why not?<br />
Line 77:
'''Officer Don Orville''' (Wayne Knight) - A portly, dim-witted cop with an overblown image of himself as an enforcer of justice. Sally is likeminded in her desire for harsh discipline and finds him incredibly attractive. Don is clueless as to [[I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me|why such a gorgeous woman is interested in him]], but is more than happy to go along with it.
* [[Bad Cop, Incompetent Cop]]
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Told people that he and Sally had sex tons of times before they actually did. Don took offense when Sally asked if he told anyone after they did, at which he replied "of course not! What kind of heel do you think I am?"
* [[Kavorka Man]]
Line 124:
* [[Large Ham]]: After she becomes the Big Giant Head's wife, but even then she had plenty of moments.
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Most of her personality, really.
* [[Psycho Ex
'''Big Giant Head''' ([[William Shatner]]) - The aliens' [[Evil Overlord]]. [[The Ghost]] for most of the series, but he eventually showed up as an [[Adam Westing]] Shatner. On Earth, he goes by the alias "[[Character Name Alias|Stone Phillips]]", the name of an [[NBC]] reporter at the time of the show's run.
