My Favorite Martian (1963)
S01E30 How Are You Gonna Keep Them Down on the Pharmacy?
Episode Overview
Martin is suffering from a vitamin deficiency due to his surroundings, drawing energy from everything and everyone, which leads to chaos. When people gaze into his eyes, they become drowsy and lose energy. He urgently needs vitamins to prevent his condition from worsening, but they require a prescription, and it’s Sunday—most pharmacies are closed. Fortunately, Tim persuades his friend, Doc Mullen, to open his pharmacy. While Tim distracts Doc, Martin sneaks off to get the vitamins. However, Martin’s affliction spreads to Tim, leading to a chain reaction that puts Mrs. Brown, Doc Mullen, and Martin himself to sleep, with no vitamins left. Tim must wake them without looking at Martin, or they risk falling asleep indefinitely. After a lot of effort, they succeed and obtain more vitamins. While Martin becomes revitalized, the excess dose causes him to be overly energetic, affecting everyone around him. The solution? A good, old-fashioned nap.
