...consciousness-raising insights-insights that may have been trenchant back when Simone de Beauvoir was drafting The Second Sex. Third Rock's creators, veteran Saturday Night Live writers Bonnie and Terry Turner, have described the show as "Carl Sagan meets the Marx Brothers." In reality, it's Maude meets Mork & Mindy...
