My Favorite Martian (1963)

Episode Overview

During a fierce electrical storm, Martin develops a quirky condition known as popsy, which causes him to flicker in and out of existence. With Tim's assistance, Martin must find a way to ground himself electrically to reverse the popsy. Just as he succeeds, Mrs. Brown arrives and inadvertently completes the grounding, gaining Martin's levitation ability in the process. To temporarily manage his popsy, Martin concocts a mixture of household cleaners. To reclaim his levitation powers, he must perform an electrically charged transfer, which involves some tricky wiring and holding hands with Mrs. Brown—misinterpreted by her as romantic. After successfully transferring the powers, Martin and Tim prepare for the grounding procedure again. However, when Mrs. Brown returns, they worry she'll disrupt everything once more. Surprisingly, she doesn’t, allowing Martin to finally be free of his popsy.
