Howard Loomis Synopsis: On the way home from missing a flight of the X-15 that he was supposed to cover for his newspaper, Tim O'Hara sees a small spacecraft crash in a desolate area. The man he pulls out of the ship is a Martian professor who has been studying the people of Earth for several hundred years. The Martian gives him details of the X-15 flight, and when the story is printed, Tim is arrested, told he won't be released until he tells them who among the military personnel revealed the secret information to him. Since no one would believe the truth, Tim is afraid he'll never get out. But then the Martian appears out of thin air in his cell and suggests a plan that finally satisfies the authorities. Tim offers room and board to his new-found Martian friend while he's repairing his spaceship. In return, the martian, who among other things can read minds, becomes invisible and converses with animals, offers to help Tim with his reporting. It looks like a wonderful partnership. Note: There were 2 pilots: The aired & "unaired" version.

Based on the 1960�s primetime CBS sitcom My Favorite Martian, this cartoon changed the format around slightly by adding extra characters. Newspaper reporter Tim O'Hara and "Uncle Martin" were now joined by Tim's niece Katy, another antennae-headed Martian named Andromeda, and shaggy pet alien-dog Oakie Doakie. The O�Haras protected the crash-landed aliens' identity by pretending that they were Katy�s Uncle Martin and his nephew Andy. The sudden influx of "distant" relatives living with Tim and Katy sparked suspicion with neighboring Detective Bill Brennan and his son Brad, who routinely tried to uncover the truth about their mysterious neighbors. Another holdover from the sitcom was Lorelei Brown, Tim�s dizzy landlady, who had a crush on Uncle Martin. None of the actors from the original series provided character voices for My Favorite Martians. Replacing Ray Walston as Uncle Martin was another sixties sci-fi TV star, Jonathan Harris (Dr. Smith from Lost In Space). Playing both Mrs. Brown and Katy O�Hara was Jane Webb, who was also the voice of Filmation's Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The cartoon ran for two seasons, but the second consisted entirely of repeats. My Favorite Martian. The film opens on Mars, showing the last moments of a Mars rover's mission. As the rover prepares to sample Martian rock, it "kicks the bucket." The mission controllers congratulate themselves on a "successful" mission, while back on Mars the scene pans up from the dead rover to show a huge undiscovered Martian city. A spaceship is seen quickly rocketing from the city and accelerating into space. News producer Tim O'Hara (Jeff Daniels), is fired for unwillingly "compromising" his boss's daughter, Brace Channing (Elizabeth Hurley), during a live broadcast of the first Space Shuttle launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base. His assistant, the shy Lizzie (Daryl Hannah), tries to comfort him, and it's apparent she has a secret crush on him. A while later, Tim witnesses a small Martian spacecraft crash landing. Realizing his chance to deliver a story that will "rock the Earth", he brings Brace to show her the ship. Nearby, its only occupant (Christopher Lloyd) and his talking space suit Zoot hides in the bushes. Tim takes the now-shrunken spaceship home with him with the Martian following him to retrieve it. He eventually has to knock Tim out, disguise himself to look like Tim and ends up kissing Lizzie when she visits. When Tim confronts the Martian, he finds out the "electron accelerator," a small device which powers the control systems of the ship, is damaged beyond repair and the Martian needs Tim's help to find a replacement. Eventually, the Martian takes the name Uncle Martin and explores the city, unaware that they are being watched by SETI, which discovered DNA left by Martin while hiding out at Tim's. While exploring Tim's neighborhood, Martin tells him about a friend of his named "Neenert," one of his planet's most gifted Martian scientists, who came to Earth in 1964. Tim and Martin also stop by at a beach wear shop and Martin buys a new pair of clothes and leaves Zoot in the fitting room but then escapes out. Tim's other friends including Lizzie and Brace meet Martin without knowing that he really is a Martian yet, after this Brace is captured by the SETI gang as she is mistaken by them as an alien. As the film continues, Tim secretly tapes Martin and Zoot with hidden cameras to back up his story and impress the TV station staff. Meanwhile, Martin and Zoot discover a subsystem called the Interstellar Safety System which is prepared to self-destruct, taking Martin's ship with it. Lizzie shows up at Tim's house, to discover Brace stealing the tape. After thinking that Tim cheated on her, Lizzie rejects him and storms out, only to be distracted by the now full size spaceship. A screenshot of Martin in the bathtub while in his Martian form, is discovered by Brace and she steals all of Tim's tapes. Martin and Tim go after the Martian evidence, shrinking the ship (unfortunately, along with Zoot and Lizzie) and racing down to the station where Martin ties Brace to her office chair and gags her. Martin then disguises himself as her so he can take her place on the news where Martin's alien form is almost exposed. The broadcast is carefully watched by Elliot Coleye (Wallace Shawn), head of SETI. Tim admits to Martin that he has been videotaping him, but found he also likes Martin and apologizes. As footage from another news report is aired, Tim and Martin escape the station. Tim and martin escape through the sewers and into the hands of Coleye, who take them back to SETI for investigation. At the lab, Tim tricks one of the scientists into growing Martin's ship to normal size, breaching security and allowing Lizzie and Zoot to escape. However, the trio's escape is blocked by two security guards,with the help of a "nerplex," a piece of alien gum that can transform anyone into another life form - in this case, a hideous monster from Veenox 7. Lizzie throws one of the guards to a panel. The other tries to escape, but Lizzie cuts him off and swallows him whole. The three eventually succeed in locating Martin, who is about to undergo surgery, involving the removal of Martin's antenna. When Martin and Zoot reunite he comes back to life, and wakes up. The three then escape SETI headquarters and prepare to bid farewell to Martin, installing a car alternator in place of the damaged electron accelerator. He is intercepted by Coleye, but a SETI official named Armitan, actually Martin's old friend Neenert (Ray Walston), saves him by destroying Coleye's gun. Eventually, Coleye consumes the piece of nerplex left by Neenert, and he's turned into an alien, too. While laughing at this, Coleye accidentally swallows the gum. He ends up getting caught by his own organization as Martin and Neenert head home. In the end, Martin and Zoot return to Earth with enough supplies to settle down with Tim and Lizzie. Neenert flies Martin's spacecraft back to Mars. Tim initially objects to Martin staying, but a passionate kiss from Lizzie convinces Tim to change his mind. The film ends by showing Zoot in a washing machine, enjoying an issue of Victoria's Secret. My Favorite Martian #6. One sunny day, Uncle Martin and Tim O'Hara are out for a walk. They happen to pass by Tim's old high school, where they see the school baseball team practicing. In the bleachers, watching practice is George Smith. He has crush on Jane. Jane only has eyes for Bill, one of team players. Uncle Martin decides to play cupid and share some of his "Martian power" with George to help him make the team and win Jane's attention. Unfortunately, wackiness ensues. Once Uncle Martin "shares" his power, he can't retrieve it from George. George's new abilities quickly go to his head - he lets his studies slip, and becomes too busy for Jane. Worse, he is recruited by a pair of bogus baseball scouts! He gets into a pickle only Uncle Martin can get him out of, with Tim's help. Later, Tim picks up Uncle Martin from the gym where he has been enjoying his regular monthly sun lamp bath. he tells Tim that "it rearranges" his "cell structure and keeps me light on my feet." Unfortunately, he fell asleep under the sun lamp, and now every sound makes him really light on his feet! A police motorcycle siren lifts him up into a tree! A bird chirping lifts him right out the window of the apartment! The same thing happens when Mrs. Brown's alarm clock plays music! He and Tim go to the Air Force Base for a solution, only to find the sounds of the jets send Uncle Martin into flight! My Favorite Martian, the comic book surely needed some co-ordination with the sitcom. Everything about the comic is generic. or bland. The likenesses to Ray Walston and Bill Bixby are decent. However, it appears as if the stars stepped into a Walt Disney or Warner Brothers cartoon. The other characters are wildly cartoonish in comparison. The same is true of the two stories. Uncle Martin's "Martian power" is so vague. The Martian was always depicted as being vastly and wildly superior to Earthlings. Here he makes a high school kid a star batter and pitcher! The one thing Martin can't control is George's personality. Which is the true lesson of the story. How does a person react when they get every thing their heart desires? That's the nugget of gold. The second story is just a farce - a romp. My Favorite Martian was one of those '60's sitcoms that was based on a premise that any thing could happen. The more ridiculous and absurd, the more entertaining. Ray Walston's Uncle Martin was more the straight man; Bill Bixby's Tim O'Hara was thrown into so many different situations. They were a hilarious comedy duo. This issue is enjoyable for fans of the classic sitcom. A flashback from November, 1965, My Favorite Martian 6 earns three stars. My Favorite Martian by Dona Smith.
