The Humans who inhabit Rutherford Ohio are completely unaware of the aliens in their midsts, even as they work, play, fight, become romantically entangled with them. They do sense that they are not normal, but only in an unsettling sense. They never suspect that the real reason could be something out of this world. This is largely explained by the fact that humans, by nature, either are too self-absorbed, or else they get too caught up in other people's problems, to ever really notice what is going on around them.
The character of Dr Mary Albright (played by Jane Curtin) becomes a central figure on account of her professional and personal relationship with Dick.
Other series regulars include Nina Campbell (Simbi Khali), Dick and Mary's secretary; Mrs Dubcek (Elmarie Wendel), who rents out her loft apartment to the Solomons; the students of Pendleton University where Dick finds a job as physics professor.
