My Favorite Martian: Season 3 (Collector's Edition)
Exigius Twelve and a Half, an exoanthropologist from the planet Mars, becomes stranded on Earth after his one-man spaceship narrowly misses a NASA rocket plane and crashes near Los Angeles. The alien is rescued by Tim O'Hara, a newspaper reporter who explains the Martian to friends and authorities by introducing him as his Uncle Martin. "Uncle Martin" looks human, except when he extends his retractable antennae with which he can become invisible. His special powers and unusual illnesses present a constant challenge to Tim in his efforts to preserve his friend's cover.
My Favorite Martian marked the beginning of the television’s fascination with fantasy comedy series, originally airing on CBS-TV from 1963 and 1966.
Debuting in the top ten upon its premiere season, My Favorite Martian stars Bill Bixby (The Courtship Of Eddie’s Father, The Incredible Hulk) as newspaper reporter Tim O’Hara Abd Ray Wilson (Picket Fences) as the Martian whom Tim discovers and passes off as his Uncle Martin. Pamela Britton plays their snoopy landlady, Lorelei Brown.
The hit series switched to color in its third and final season, presented here on DVD for the first time. These 32 complete, digitally-remastered episodes include guest appearances by other classic TV actors such as Gavin MacLeod (The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H), Allan Melvin (The Phil Silvers Show), Stafford Repp (Batman), Shelley Morrison (The Flying Man), Michael Constantine (Room 222), Leon Askin (Hogan’s Heroes) and others.
