My Favorite Martian (1963)
S01E14 Blood Is Thicker than the Martian
Episode Overview
Tim's cousin Harvey is set to visit, which forces Martin into hiding since Harvey knows Tim doesn't have an Uncle Martin. They also have to keep Mrs. Brown away from Harvey, as she'd definitely let the secret slip. In their cramped apartment, Martin’s invisibility can only help so much, creating complications with sleeping arrangements. To make matters worse, Harvey is a notorious freeloader who wants Tim’s help landing a job at The Sun, convinced he’s a top-notch journalist. Tim reluctantly secures him an audition. When Harvey mentions the job’s pressures, Martin devises a plan. He shows up disguised as an old newspaper pal of Tim’s, claiming to seek a position at a smaller paper where life is less stressful. As Martin uses his levitation powers to create chaos, Harvey believes the stress is getting to him and quickly decides to return to his old job.
