"Mrs. Mamie Dubcek" (usually just referred to as 'Dubcek' by the Solomon family) is a fictional character in the NBC sitcom "3rd Rock from the Sun". She is portrayed by Elmarie Wendel and is a landlady, whose old-fashioned attic apartment the Solomon family rent.

Personality and relationship with the Solomons

Mrs. Dubcek lives below the Solomon family and is portrayed as a loose and carefree woman who is prone to having many sexual partners. For this reason, she often acts as a bizarre and unlikely guide for the Solomons in handling problems in their love lives; for example, in the episode "Dick and the Other Guy", Sally believes that Don is cheating on her and Mrs. Dubcek advises her to disguise herself and follow him around.cite episode |title=Dick and the Other Guy |episodelink=List of 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes#Season 3: 1997 - 1998 |series=3rd Rock from the Sun |serieslink=3rd Rock from the Sun|network=NBC |airdate=1998-04-28 |season=3 |number=23] Alternatively, in the episode "Same Old Song and Dick" she attempts to help Dick and Mary put the spice back into their relationship by introducing new ways of lovemaking.cite episode |title=Same Old Song and Dick |episodelink=List of 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes#Season 2: 1996 - 1997 |series=3rd Rock from the Sun |serieslink=3rd Rock from the Sun|network=NBC |airdate=1997-03-09 |season=2 |number=17]

Harry Solomon once referred to Mrs. Dubcek and her daughter Vicky as Nymphomaniacs and, in the same episode, Dick Solomon referred to their house as a 'gin-joint'.cite episode |title=Sally Forth |episodelink=List of 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes#Season 4: 1998 - 1999 |series=3rd Rock from the Sun |serieslink=3rd Rock from the Sun|network=NBC |airdate=1999-02-09 |season=4 |number=13]

Family

Mrs. Dubcek has a daughter, Vicky, who is introduced in the Thanksgiving episode, "Gobble, Gobble, Dick, Dick".cite episode |title=Gobble, Gobble, Dick, Dick |episodelink=List of 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes#Season 2: 1996 - 1997 |series=3rd Rock from the Sun |serieslink=3rd Rock from the Sun|network=NBC |airdate=1996-11-24 |season=2 |number=10] During this episode, Vicky is established as a love interest for Harry, and as the series progresses, the pair consider having a baby together, before the Big Giant Head intervenes and impregnates Vicky himself.cite episode |title=Dick's Big Giant Headache - Part II |episodelink=List of 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes#Season 4: 1998 - 1999 |series=3rd Rock from the Sun |serieslink=3rd Rock from the Sun|network=NBC |airdate=1999-05-29 |season=4 |number=24]
