Editorial Reviews

Australia released, NTSC/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Behind the scenes, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Collectors Edition, Commentary, Interactive Menu, Multi-DVD Set, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: First airing in 1963, My Favourite Martian was one of the first sitcoms with a 'fantasy' premise, joining ranks with Mister Ed, and followed later by Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie. Bill Bixby stars as Tim O'Hara, an L.A. Sun reporter who stumbles upon a Martian (Ray Walston) in a crashed spaceship and takes him on as a boarder under the guise of 'Uncle Martin'. Martin promises not to reveal himself to anyone other than Tim, but can't help displaying his alien abilities such as telepathy, moving objects by pointing at them, and a knack for invisibility. Bixby, star of The Incredible Hulk, and seasoned actor Walston both provide incredible comedic timing as bizarre plot twists keep the laughs coming. Umbrella proudly presents the entire third season of My Favoite Martian, the first season in colour, for the first time on DVD anywhere in the world, along with an interstellar collection of exclusive special features. ...My Favorite Martian - Complete Series 3 - 6-DVD Set ( My Favourite Martian - The Complete Third Series ) ( My Favorite Martian - The Complete Series Three )

5.0 out of 5 stars A first for Australia, January 24, 2008

By

This review is from: My Favorite Martian: The Complete Third Season (DVD)

I live in Australia and believe it or not, we are apparently the first country in the world to have My Favorite Martian - the Third Series (and the FIRST shot in colour) available. It boasts that on the cover but don't worry my American friends - it is in your NTSC TV system - and is ALL region so your players will have no region problems.

I was sweating off to buy a season or My Favorite Martian because I wanted it in colour and kept checking Amazon but no go. Found the set a while back at the local Target but it is around in plenty of other stores here (JB Hifi for example). Full price here in OZ is AUS$69 (about US$60) which is pretty expensive but I managed to buy it for AUS$55 which is still steep but I really wanted it.

Enough of that. What about it.

Well I love it. It is the complete 3rd series (32 episodes) and as an extra includes the orignal unaired pilot episode (1963 BW). It is great to see how Uncle Martian came to end up with Tim.

I'm not going to go on about each episode as I haven't quite finished it all yet but this set from Umbrella comes on 6 dual layer single sided discs and the other extras are:

Behind the scenes home movies with Pamela Britton (Mrs Brown)

Interviews with Stan Frazen (Editor) Ted Rich (editor) James Husley (Art Director) and Wayne Stam (Actor - not sure who he played). There is a commentary on one episode (Go West Young Martian). A Stills gallery and a few other bits.

Total running time approx 883 mins.

I did notice the quality vary a little between episodes. It looks like one may have had to be sourced from a later generation print but apart from that one (so far) the transfers are sharp and clean.

If you like "Martian" then get it as soon as it is available.

Cheers from Down Under

5.0 out of 5 stars A Well Packaged Show With Nice Extras, January 28, 2008

By 

Mulroon - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Favorite Martian: The Complete Third Season (DVD)

I ordered this 3rd season of My Favorite Martian from Australia in November, 2007 for $53 (American dollars) including shipping, and it has turned out to be great. The single sided discs are in a plastic multipack, as opposed to the cardboard packages that held the 3 Rhino double sided discs for each of seasons 1 and 2. With the exception of one episode featuring Yvonne "Batgirl" Craig, which, though full length, appears to be from a faded 16mm print, the episodes are very clear, unedited, and have good sound.

This review is from: My Favorite Martian: The Complete Third Season (DVD)

For those who are wondering... I received my copy yesterday and this IS the AUSTRALIAN import from Umbrella Entertainment. It is REGION FREE and in NTSC FORMAT - in other words it will play in ALL US DVD players! It is has 6 discs (no double sided ones here) in a AMARAY style case with a great 3D cover! I have not had a chance to watch it yet, but I know there were alot of questions about this product and I just wanted to clear them up.
The real title is "The Complete Third SERIES" In Full Colour rather than "Season". I hope this helps.
