This four-episode compilation of the 1960s-era comedy starts off with a two-parter which sends extraterrestrial Martin (Ray Walston) and his "nephew" Tim (Bill Bixby) back in time to the 1800s in "Go West, Young Martian, Go West." After wagon-train and riverboat rides and battles with Indians and an overzealous sheriff, the pair make it back to the present only to meet a time-traveling Leonardo Da Vinci in "Martin Meets His Match." The duo help resolve Da Vinci's theft of his own Mona Lisa, and then it's back in time to undo Tim's bungling of the tribal sale of Manhattan Island to the Dutch in "Pay the Man the 24 Dollars." The chemistry between the finger-wigglingly proficient Walston and slightly daft Bixby makes for fun family viewing, but be aware that stereotypes of Native Americans abound in the second and fourth episodes, not the least of which is their portrayal by Caucasian actors with a lot of makeup. --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars pat, December 6, 1999

This review is from: My Favorite Martian [VHS] (VHS Tape)

an excellent video, not only is the acting good, the episodes are in color and have been quality enhanced with better viewing. A hard to find classic sitcom with good taste no graphic violence, sex, or profanity at all and still very entertaining, i hope they start marketing more 60's and 70's sitcoms.

It's hard to remember the old "My Favorite Martian" TV series being in color, but it was -- during its final season. These rare color episodes are a treat for anyone who grew up watching the original series. Take a trip back to an innocent time -- and if you can, take someone with you who's never been there. It's fun for the whole family.
