Aliens have landed…in suburbia! To investigate Earth, four interplanetary explorers are posing as a "normal" American family. But what's normal to us, things like emotions, politics, and zoos, are shockingly alien to them. Through their innocence, irreverence and disarming honesty, we realize they've landed on the most bizarre planet of all - ours!
