My Favorite Martian (1963)
S01E21 Hitchhike to Mars
Episode Overview
Title: Hitchhike to Mars Plot: The Inter-Galaxy Corporation is preparing to launch a mission to either Mars or Venus, and Martin is determined to sway their decision in favor of Mars so he can sneak aboard. J.M. Buckley, the indecisive president of the corporation, is heavily influenced by superstitions, especially since it's Friday the 13th and he's lost his lucky rabbit's foot. To counteract the day’s bad luck, Martin convinces Buckley that Friday the 13th is actually a fortuitous day. Meanwhile, he and Tim search for the rabbit's foot, which they find damaged by a cat. Martin cleverly uses his abilities to restore it, giving Buckley the confidence to announce the Mars launch in two days. To express his gratitude, Martin suggests adding a magnetic oscilloscope to the rocket, but this generous gesture ultimately leaves no space for him as a stowaway.
