Mission

On the show he fulfills the role of "transmitter." In that he has a large receiver, that supposedly takes up half of his brain, planted in his head. Early in the series, after receiving a message from THE BIG GIANT HEAD, Harry would "resume normal functions in three..two..one" and the perform some thoroughly abnormal behaviour such as a random dance move from the sixties. However later this was discontinued and Harry would either sneeze or simply immediately query "so what did it say?" During the opening credits of the first season, James Earl Jones, acting as narrator, states that "well they had an extra seat" in reference to Harry's role in the mission. James Earl Jones (born January 17, 1931 in Arkabutla Township, Mississippi in Tate County) is among Americas best known African American film and stage actors. ...

Love Life

In contrast to what would be expected of someone with the abnormal taste and actions of Harry, he seems a very adept lover and often has interludes with those that might be considered "out of his league" though this did not stop him from, at several points, dating the Solomon's landlord's daughter, Vicky. The relationship between Harry and Vicky was often interrupted, examples include, Vicky's commitment to physical and spiritual purity at which point she becomes celebit, her pregnancy and almost immediate birth of the child of THE BIG GIANT HEAD, when she heads to Florida, and finally after THE BIG GIANT HEAD returns to make Vicky his queen. In one episode Harry arranges a date with the clerk, Sam, then sees her again as hostess at a restaurant and makes a date again with her, as Samantha which she feels more appropriate for the atmosphere. Harry, not realizing that this is the same person using her legal and nick name, thinks he has made dates with twins, and when "Samantha" arrives he confines her temporarily to the loft's restroom for his date with Sam. Of course she does not go in for this behaviour and soon exits. Other affairs include, a recently divorced mother, a woman at the laundry mat, and Dick's office assistant Nina Campbell.

Life as a Human

Harry in general serves as the slapstick comic foil for the show. The typical "funny points" involves a great deal of running into things or being hit. However there are points when the seeming stupidity gives way to absurdity, such as when Harry declares it is his mission to "bring electricity to the people of Earth," Tommy informs him that humans have electricity, and Harry concludes that "my work here is done." In contrast to the frequent exhibition of a lack of intelligence, Harry at one point speaks fluent French to Dick as so Vick will not comprehend his argument to maintain his love for Vicky. Despite his aptitude with the physical aspects of the opposite sex, Harry seems incapable of fully functioning in a common social situation. Often he will run off on a mission to right some irrelevant wrong and not realize the "offender" is conceding and will then proceed to take physical and occasionally violent action. Harry held several positions in the "working world." Among them, he served as a representative for Orca Cosmetics for Men, a 24 Hour Diner, a movie rental store, and finally a bar, which he paid Tommy in beer to help with.
