More of the blissfully funny adventures of the aliens living on earth disguised as an eccentric earth family. This second series has some of the funniest episodes, including one of my very favourites, 'Gobble, Gobble, Dick' in which the Solomons experience their first Thanksgiving, and Harry is smitten by Mrs Dubchek's daughter Vicky. The part where Harry and Vicky have a romantic tryst in the kitchen, and end up doing very peculiar things with the turkey carcass, is absolutely hilarious. 'Jolly Old Saint Dick' where they experience their first Christmas, is also very funny, with Sally getting a job as a Christmas gift wrapper, and redistributing the gifts to different customers. And then there's the one where Harry accidentaly becomes an environmental protestor, and ends up stading for election, and the one where Dick gets the sack and has to go and work in a fast food outlet, and - oh well, they're all very funny. All the cast are superb, the scripts are hilarious, everything works beautifuly. This series 2 set includes a rather pointless bonus disc on which you can see the last 2 episdoes of the series again, only in 3d (glasses are provided). If you are the kind of person who gets excited about 3d you will enjoy this, though personally it leaves me cold.
