In season 3 episode 7 of 3rd Rock from the Sun, Eleven Angry Men and One Dick, the Solomons find themselves in the middle of a jury duty situation. Tommy is selected to be a juror on a murder trial, and the rest of the family decides to attend the trial to observe.
At first, Tommy takes his responsibility as a juror very seriously. He is attentive during the trial and seems to be leaning towards a guilty verdict. However, things take a turn when Dick gets involved.
Dick, always eager to be in the spotlight, starts to act erratically and draw attention to himself. He begins to loudly question the suspects and witnesses, and even starts to perform magic tricks in the courtroom. This behavior causes the judge to become increasingly frustrated and leads to some humorous exchanges between him and Dick.
Meanwhile, Sally becomes enamored with the defendant's lawyer and begins to flirt with him. Her advances are not well received by the lawyer, and her behavior begins to cause disruption in the courtroom as well.
As the trial progresses, the rest of the Solomons start to become more and more involved in the case. They start doing their own investigations and even try to talk to the defendant's family to gather more information. This leads to some hilarious moments as they try to integrate themselves into the community and gather intel.
In the end, the Solomons' interference causes chaos in the courtroom and ultimately leads to the trial being declared a mistrial. Tommy is disappointed that he was not able to fulfill his duties as a juror and the rest of the family is left feeling embarrassed and ashamed of their behavior.
Overall, Eleven Angry Men and One Dick is a humorous episode that showcases the Solomons' lack of understanding of social norms and customs. It is a great example of the show's ability to blend science fiction with comedy and create a memorable storyline.
