When the show was canceled, he told The New York Times that even Seinfeld could not have stayed on the air if they had to deal with the same scheduling changes.
In the alternate ending that was filmed in case the show got a reprieve from its cancellation, Dick returns to take Mary with him. The scene is a special feature on DVD. From a teaching perspective, he subjects them to a level of physics they can't possibly be expected to understand without an advanced degree in the topic.
Author and professor Brian Greene is the reason for that. He taught math and physics at Columbia, and was brought in to make sure Dick's physics speak was correct. One of the most tragic death's in Hollywood history was Phil Hartman's. It caught friends, family, and fans completely off guard. There were professional repercussions to his death, as well. In a season finale, Hartman's character kidnapped Harry Solomon, but the actor's death caused changes to the resolution of the cliff hanger.
Harry Solomon was Dick's brother and part of the alien's mission to Earth, though not a particularly helpful one. A sweet, quirky guy, Harry wasn't the brightest and frequently did more harm than good in most situations. But he was an important comedic part of the series, particularly due to the physical comedy he brought.
French Stewart, who played Harry, created his character's signature squint and mannerisms but also undertook the huge bumps for laughs. He was regularly bruised and beaten up from doing the pratfalls for multiple takes each day.

Sally initially didn't enjoy being the woman, but grew into the identity as the series progressed. As far as skill is concerned, Sally is undoubtedly the most experienced and most dangerous member of the Solomon family.
Kristen Johnston is perhaps best known for her performance as Sally, but her film and television credits extend far beyond the realm of sitcoms. Harry Solomon is the only member of the Solomon crew who really wasn't supposed to be part of their mission on Earth. He's the dumbest Solomon and usually pretty useless, but eventually he stumbles upon something he feels makes him important. In recent years, French Stewart has appeared in a number of films and television series, with the bulk of his newer work featured on the small screen.
His most high-profile television role of the last few years is undoubtedly his turn as Derec Springer in the Leverage revival, Leverage: Redemption. As Dick Solomon's colleague and eventual love interest, she has the important narrative function of acting as a foil for Dick and his shenanigans. Dick displays interest in Mary quickly, but the attraction doesn't become mutual until much later.
