My favorite Martian : season one.
"A human-looking extraterrestrial in a one-man spaceship nearly collides at high altitude with the U.S. Air Force's rocket plane, the North American X-15. The spaceship's pilot is a 450-year-old anthropologist from Mars. Tim O'Hara, a young newspaper reporter for The Los Angeles Sun, is on his way home from Edwards Air Force Base, where he had gone to report on the flight of the X-15. Returning home to Los Angeles, O'Hara spots the same silver spaceship coming down quickly, after which it crash lands nearby. Tim takes in the Martian, saying to other people that he is Tim's "Uncle Martin". The Martian refuses to reveal any of his special traits to humans, other than Tim, to avoid both publicity and human panic. Tim agrees to keep the Martian's Earth identity a secret while he attempts to repair his spaceship."--Wikipedia article.

"Out of this world laughs with the original 1960âs supernatural sitcom smash. MY FAVORITE MARTIAN marked the beginning of televisionâs fascination with fantasy themed comedy series, originally airing on CBS-TV from 1963 to 1966. Debuting in the top ten upon its premiere season, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN stars Bill Bixby (The Courtship Of Eddieâs Father, The Incredible Hulk) as newspaper reporter Tim OâHara and Ray Walston (Picket Fences) as the Martian whom Tim discovers and passes off as his Uncle Martin. Pamela Britton plays their snoopy landlady, Lorelei Brown." - Baker & Taylor
