** Similarly, in "Time for a Change", in an attempt to escape their latest tenants (a group of bikers), the aliens (except for Bud) use a time machine to escape to the past. However, they find that the humans in that era are no better than the ones in the present, so they end up traveling back to their own era. The episode ends with them looking out the window in despair while the bikers prepare to move in, as they reluctantly sing "No Place Like Home".
