What you really need to do in Photoshop is to replace the red channel of
the right-hand image with the red channel of the left-hand image, and
you've got as good an anaglyph as you're likely to get. That's really all
there is to it.

3rd Rock was not shot as an anaglyph. It was Pulfrich, which requires
glasses with a dark grey right lens and a clear left lens. If you were
watching it with the red lens over your right eye there is a slim chance
that the red lens, being a "denser" color, might have helped trigger the
Pulfrich effect, but there is a 99% chance that any 3D you saw this way was
just wishful thinking.
