My Favorite Martian was an American television sitcom aired on CBS from 1963 to 1966. // A human-looking extraterrestrial in a one-man ship crash-lands near Los Angeles. The ships pilot is, in fact, from Mars & is now stranded on Earth. A young newspaper reporter, Tim OHara with the Los Angeles Sun, was on his way from Edwards Air Force Base back to Los Angeles when he spotted Martians ship coming down. Tim takes the Martian in as his roommate & 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 & Tim agrees to keep Martins identity a secret while the Martian attempts to repair his ship. he can raise two retractable antennae & become invisible; he is telepathic & can read minds; he can levitate objects with the motion of his finger; & he can communicate with animals. Martin also builds several advanced devices, such as a time machine which transports Tim & the Martian back to Medieval England & other times & places, such as St.

Tired but watchable adaptation of the popular 60s TV show of a friendly Martian who lives with an agreeable earthling. Like Disneys other live-action remakes 101 Dalmatians & Flubber, the emphasis is on quick-moving scenes & special effects, not character. Jeff Daniels is the bemused earthling who gets to know Christopher Lloyds alien ways. Much of the film feels like a retread borrowing heavily from other sci-fi comedies , including Lloyds own Back to the Future. Lloyd & his talking space suit dont know simple Earth customs but inexplicably know every pop culture reference in the last 10 years. Daryl Hannah & Elizabeth Hurley are along for the ride as Daniels good-girl & bad-girl flames. TVs Martian, Ray Waltson, shows up as a secret agent alien hunter, & pours more emotion into his scenes than the rest of the movie combined. Ages 6 & up.
