Did You Know?
Trivia | Ray Walston admitted later that he regretted taking the role of Uncle Martin. He took it for the money, and felt that it prevented him from getting substantial roles for many years. He enjoyed working with Bill Bixby, and they became lifelong friends. See more » |
Goofs | The first seven episodes of the first season showed a copyright date of MCMXLIII (1943) instead of MCMLXIII (1963). This was corrected in episode eight. See more » |

Quotes |
Uncle Martin:
We don't have love at first sight on Mars. Either it was too silly to bother with, or it was something we discarded in our Dusk Ages. Tim O'Hara: You mean the Dark Ages? Uncle Martin: We were never that primitive. See more » |
