Note about Nielson Ratings: A show's rating is a percentage of all 95.9 million American TV's (in the first season) and 97 million American TV's (in the second season), including those turned off, which are tuned into that show for that week. A rating of 1.0 would correspond with 1% or 959,000 homes tuned in in the first season, and 970,000 homes tuned in in the second season. Thank-you Nathan Humbard.

September 22nd Season Premire! Nielson Rating: 13.8, Ranking: 17th of the week **See Dick Continue to Run**EP#201 & EP#202 Good Dick, in a box in the basement, writes of the past events. Evil Dick decides to call them all Tommy and a million other "humiliating irrational edicts", while making plans to build a big incubator. The three bump into Dennis Rodman, an alien from their planet. Evil Dick is having a really hard time adjusting to earth, but continues to court Mary in his naughty way. We find that Evil Dick is a disgruntled former employee of the big giant head, but no one sees the transmission, except Evil Dick. The others finally find Good Dick and free him (after they talk Sally into Mutiny). Dick is freed and Mary is saved but not without the help of Dennis Rodman who escorts the shell of an alien that is Evil Dick back to the home world. Guest appearence by Dennis Rodman as himself Sun. September 29th Nielson Rating: 13.7, Ranking: 12th of the week **Hotel Dick**EP#205 The aliens see "Dawn of the Aliens" and are disturbed by the negative portrayals of aliens. Dick decides to tell Mary that he is an alien (much to the dismay of Sally and the others) and decides that the sci-fi convention in Cleveland is the place to do it. As Dick is trying to tell her, Mary misunderstands and thinks Dick was in a mental clinic. When he finally tells her, it is during a sex-game where Mary is pretending to be an alien and she doesn't take it seriously. Harry sees the convention as a place to fight negative alien stereotypes and Sally discovers the wonders of Room Service... at least until they get the bill (that must be the population of Cleveland). But all's not lost. With the laptop, modem, key and shower cap Tommy transfers the charges to Mr. Takei's room bill. Guest appearence by George Takei as himself Sun. October 6th Nielson Rating: 12.1, Ranking: 22nd of the week **Big Angry Virgin from Outer Space**EP#203 Dick's relationship with Mary is going well, but Sally and Mr. Randall are not doing as well. August tests Tommy's commitment to her by asking if he will stay with her even if she became disfigured, again, and again, and agian. Harry, feeling left out, goes to a video dating service. Between moments with flavored international coffees... Sally first tries to give Mr. Randall more control, then was going to mend the relationship with sex, but neither works, so Sally remains a virgin and even starts to like being single. Sun. October 13th Nielson Rating: N/A, Ranking: N/A **Much Ado About Dick**EP#204 The close realtionship between Dick and Mary causes friction between the aliens. Mary and Dick soon have their own bit 'o friction when the university learns of the romance and starts gossiping. Sally gets a parking ticket and runs into officer Don. Don shows Sally the glamorous side of cop life and Sally wants to join the force. But when Dick forbids it (based on something kinda like the prime directive), she and officer Don are forced to part ways again. Such sweet sorrow! Dr. Sutor advises Dick to ignore Mary to get her back and for as long as he can, Dick tries. Mary gets over her fear of what other people think at a faculty party and things are peachy again.
