Roy Neary—Close Encounters of the Third Kind

After gallivanting around the solar system in an extraterrestrial mothership for nearly 30 years, Roy tired of its All-you-can-Eat buffet and piano bar (the guy kept playing the same five notes over and over) and asked to be dropped back on Earth. This took a little acclimation as you can imagine, and Roy would have done fine had he not turned on this television set and got a taste of the proliferation of reality shows. The last we heard, he was trying to get reinstated on the mothership.
