I just watched the 1999 movie "My Favorite Martian," starring Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Daniels. I never saw 1963-66 the television series with Ray Walston, but I can only imagine that it was as silly as the movie. The movie also stars Daryl Hannah, Christine Ebersole, Wallace Shawn and Wayne Knight's voice (as a talking suit). There's also a really clever cameo with a nod to the TV series, and I couldn't help but compare some bits to Back to the Future, which, of course, starred Lloyd as Doc Brown. Sure, I was reading "Entertainment Weekly" during most of the movie. But, it was an enjoyable way to pass the time while my laundry was getting done.
