The superb chemistry between Bixby and Walston made this show. A cheap looking sitcom with abysmal special effects for a sci-fi show, the writers must have been taking psychedelic drugs during the third season in color when the stories flew off the rails (a squirrel morphing into a man). Bixby would often behave like a lunatic trying to cover up Martin's "accidents." The laugh track was annoying. The mature landlady Pamela Britton was an early TV example of an attractive middle-aged woman with an understated sex appeal.
