"Angry Dick" is the thirteenth episode in the first season of 3rd Rock from the Sun. It originally aired on April 2, 1996.
Plot[]
Dick befriends his next door neighbor, Frank Muller, while Sally befriends his wife, Patty. Dick feels it's time for the Solomons to actually meet them, because he thinks they'll learn much more about humans that way instead of just observing them. This will also allow for bad cook Sally to get some cooking lessons from Patty.
An argument comes up with Dick's Rambler being on Franks property, however the Solomons cross the line when they visit their 'new friends' at 4am. The next day Dick visits Frank to apologize and offer him a gift, but he becomes angry at trying to be bought, and the pair end up fighting. They eventually make up. Meanwhile, Harry becomes addicted to television.
