The ship 's pilot is, in fact, an anthropologist from Mars and is now stranded on Earth. Tim O'Hara, a young newspaper reporter for The Los Angeles Sun, is on his way home from Edwards Air Force Base ( where he had gone to report on the flight of the X-15 ) back to Los Angeles when he spots the spaceship coming down. The rocket - powered aircraft had nearly hit the spaceship and caused it to crash. Tim takes the Martian in as his roommate and passes him off as his `` Uncle Martin. '' Uncle Martin refuses to reveal any of his Martian traits to people other than Tim, to avoid publicity ( or panic ), and Tim agrees to keep Martin 's identity a secret while the Martian attempts to repair his ship. Uncle Martin has various unusual powers : he can raise two retractable antennae from his head and become invisible ; he is telepathic and can read and influence minds ; he can levitate objects with the motion of his finger ; he can communicate with animals ; he can freeze people or objects ; and he can speed himself ( and other people ) up to do work. Ostensibly an inventor by trade, Martin also builds several advanced devices, such as a time machine that transports Tim and the Martian back to medieval England and other times and places, such as St. Louis in 1849 and the early days of Hollywood, and brings Leonardo da Vinci and Jesse James into the present. Another device he builds is a `` molecular separator '' that can take apart the molecules of a physical object, or rearrange them ( a squirrel is made into a human ). Another device can take memories and store them in pill form to `` relearn '' them later. Other devices create temporary duplicates, or levitate Martin and others without the need of his finger. Tim and Uncle Martin live in a garage apartment owned by a congenial ( and former WAVE as revealed in season 1 episode 1 ) but scatterbrained landlady, Mrs. Lorelei Brown, who often shows up when not wanted. She and Martin have an awkward romance from time to time but Martin never gets serious for fear of going home to Mars. She later dates a vain, cold - hearted, plain - clothes police officer, Detective Bill Brennan, who dislikes Uncle Martin and is highly suspicious of him. `` Martin O'Hara's '' real name is Exigius 121⁄2. Revealed in `` We Love You, Miss Pringle '', it was heard again when his real nephew, Andromeda ( played by young actor Wayne Stam ), crash - landed on Earth in the show 's third season. Andromeda, originally devised to bring younger viewers to the aging show, disappeared without explanation after this single episode and was never referred to again. Andromeda was, however, a regular on the later animated series My Favorite Martians. Andromeda had a single antenna, which Martin explained was because his baby antennae had fallen out and only one adult antenna had come in so far. Cast Ray Walston as Uncle Martin O'Hara ( the Martian ) Bill Bixby as Tim O'Hara Pamela Britton as Mrs. Lorelei Brown J. Pat O'Malley as Mr. Burns, Tim 's boss ( first season ) Ann Marshall as Angela Brown, Mrs. Brown 's teen - aged daughter ( episodes 1, 2, and 5 of the first season ) Alan Hewitt as Detective Bill Brennan ( second and third seasons ) Roy Engel as Police Chief ( third season ) Production Development The series was produced by Jack Chertok Television in association with CBS. The show was originally syndicated by Wolper Pictures, then it moved to Telepictures, and later by successor - in - interest Warner Bros. Television Distribution. The Chertok Company retained ownership of all copyrights for the show as of early July 2013 ; Rhino Entertainment held U.S. video rights until August 2008. Australian entertainment company Umbrella Entertainment acquired rights for Australia and New Zealand and released Seasons 1, 2 and 3 ( in full color ) in 2007 and 2008 on DVD suitable for all region codes. Those rights together with streaming recently were aquirered by Shock Video who in November 2017 released a new complete box set using the restored show elements. In2010 MPI Home Video acquired the rights to the series for home video. In 2018 Pidax Video Germany aquirered both streaming and DVD rights for Germany will begin to release the series in Germany under it 's German title Mien Okel Vom Mars the release is expected sometime in 2018. As of early July 2013, Warner Bros. held domestic and international syndication rights for the series. Those rights have now returned to the Chertok trust. Music The theme music for the series was composed by George Greeley and performed on an electro - theremin by Paul Tanner, a former member of Glenn Miller 's band. It was influential in Brian Wilson 's engagement of Tanner in 1965 and 1966 to work with the Beach Boys on their landmark hit, `` Good Vibrations. '' Greeley also scored the series ; an album of his music from the first two seasons was released by La - La Land Records in 2007 ( dedicated to the composer, who died while the album was being prepared ). Filming The first two seasons were filmed in black - and - white ( at Desilu ), but the final season was shot in color ( at MGM ), resulting in minor changes in the set and the format of the show. In addition to the extraterrestrial powers indicated in the first two seasons, Martin was able to do much more in the final season, such as stimulating facial hair to provide him and Tim with a quick disguise, and levitating with his nose. Brennan 's boss, the police chief, was involved in many episodes in the third season, generally as a device to humiliate the overzealous detective. Comparsion to other shows My Favorite Martian was produced at the same time as other situation comedies that featured characters who could do extraordinary things, as a parody of the standard family situation comedy. The show was an example of science - fiction comedy, differing from Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie in that the central character was a man, and in that he relied on science and advanced technology rather than magic.

Television Distribution Release Original network CBS Original release September 8 ( 1973 - 09 - 08 ) -- December 22, 1973 ( 1973 - 12 - 22 ) Chronology Preceded by My Favorite Martian An animated series, My Favorite Martians, was made by Filmation and was broadcast as part of the Saturday morning programming on CBS from September 8, 1973 to December 22, 1973 for a total of sixteen episodes. The series features Tim, Martin, Mrs. Brown and Detective Brennan ( Brennan is considerably different ). To appeal to a younger audience, Uncle Martin is joined by his Martian nephew named Andromeda, nicknamed `` Andy '', who only has one antenna and thus lesser powers than Uncle Martin and did appear in one episode of the television series. The pair also have a Martian pet named Okey, a sort of bouncing sheepdog with antennae. Tim also had a niece of his own, named Katy, living with them. None of the characters were voiced by the original actors ; Bixby was at the time committed to his latest project, The Magician, and Walston tried to distance himself from the role. As a result, Jonathan Harris voiced Martin and Jane Webb voiced Mrs. Brown. The cartoon utilized a number of scripts from what would have been season four of the live action show ; as of early July 2013, Jack Chertok Television co-owned it, with the Chertok company retaining all merchandising rights to the show. Distribution rights were held, as of April 2013, by Classic Media as part of their Filmation holdings. Although those rights may now have reverted back to the Chertok company as of, 2018.

This film was released and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Ray Walston was featured in the film ( both Bill Bixby and Pamela Britton had since died ; the former in 1993 and the latter in 1974 ) and played another Martian who had been trapped on Earth since the time of the first series and wore a similar space suit from the series ; his cover was now that of a Government investigator of unidentified flying objects. However, the premise was changed : Martians such as Lloyd 's `` Uncle Martin '' are now non-humanoids with four arms, four legs, and three eyes who use a gumball ( which they call `` nerplex '' ) to assume human form. The `` nerplex '' comes in a selection that will turn the person ingesting it into assorted life forms, including Martian, Venusian and one to `` never use '' ( Venox 7 ). Comics The TV series was adapted into a comic strip by Dan Spiegle, distributed by Gold Key Comics. It ran between 1963 and 1966 for nine issues. Gerry Anderson 's company Century 21 aquirered the rights to produce a weekly adaption than ran in their weekly newspaper like formatted comic TV21. Unlike the Gold Key adaption the British comics would later in their run featured Martin 's nephew Andromeda. Due to a lack of reference he was depicted as a chubby freckled British schoolboy. The weekly adaption ran for two years ( 1965 - 66 ) and was featured in three of the comics British Christmas annuals. The comic rights returned to the Chertok company who licenced a reprint of the Gold Key produced by Hermes Press. Who subsequently issued a special edition single issue reprint for the national national free comic book day. That reprint is the only instance of a sixties television comic reprint to be used for this event Subsequently during the event the books in almost every venue were the first to sell out. The Chertok Company is actively looking to reprint the British comic adaption in a single volume for the first time. However the TV21 Martian pages have been used as special features on the US MPI DVD release and the Australian release by Umbrella Entertainment. And more recently on the Australia New Zealand release by Shock Entertainment. Merchandising During the show 's initial run several products were produced resulting in a board game, a magic set, paint by numbers and springs with bells beanie hat. In 2012 licensing resumed on the My Favorite Martian property resulting in a model kit and built up box version from Pegasus Hobbies. Due to the success of the kit the Chertok company subsequently has extended the license to Pegasus Hobbies. The Pegasus kit is in fact a props replica based on the Martian spaceships appearance in the episode Crash Diet where the ship was shrunk as part of the episode the initial version of the shrunk ship is in scale with the Pegasus model. A still of Martin holding that scaled ship can be found on the back of the box for the fully assembled version. A photoetched metal kit that gives modelers the ability to uupgrade the cockpit detail.
