Tim O'Hara, a newspaper reporter, finds a crash landed flying saucer with a 450 year old alien from Mars inside. Tim adopts the human looking alien and tells the public that the human looking alien is his Uncle Martin. Uncle Martin can raise two retractable antennae from the back of his head and become invisible; he is telepathic and can read and influence minds; he can levitate objects with the motion of his index finger; he can communicate with animals; he can freeze people or objects, and he can speed himself (and other people) up to do any kind of work.
"My Favorite Martian" starring Bill Bixby and Ray Walston, aired on network TV from 1963 to 1966
