Tim O'Hara, played by Bill Bixby, sees an object crash while he is driving down a winding road in LA. Going down a ravine, Tim finds a flying saucer and a human unconscious. Ah, but that's no human; it's a Martian! Played by Ray Walton, he tells Tim he's been to earth many times over the last 600 years... Haha. This is the first time he's been shot down. Could Tim please take him to rest at the reporters home and hide his spaceship while it's being repaired? Yes! But, as a lowly reporter for the LA Sun, Tim lives in apartment above a garage where the landlady lives right next door with 2 other nosey females. Calling him his Uncle Martin, Tim soon has the alien feeling better but parts for the ship may take awhile. So, Martin is here on earth to put up with a landladys crush, scientists who get space wrong, the FBI, hot LA weather and more. Only Tim knows Martin can become invisible at times, move objects with his mind, talk to animals and more. Can they keep their big secret from the world? This charming sitcom features 2 fine foils in Walston and Bixby and a fun premise. Created at a time when Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Mr. Ed and other fantasy comedies were in vogue, it still charms with its unique take on a Stranger in a strange land. I started from Episode One on the wonderful Tubi and I'm not stopping until I reach the end! You should do the same.
