Bo and Luke Duke (John Schneider and Tom Wopat) find themselves actually working alongside Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (James Best) for a change in this episode from the long-running action- comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard.

The Dukes of Hazzard: Deputy Dukes was first aired on April 13, 1979. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In the last of three episodes filmed in Hawaii, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) conjures up the spirit of the island's greatest ruler, King Kamehameha (played by Ms. Eden's then-husband Michael Ansara). The mighty monarch quickly becomes convinced that the modern-day Hawaiians have forgotten all about him (how could he have missed the many statues in his honor all over Honolulu?) To remedy this situation, Kamehameha decides to wage war against the Mainlanders (among them Dr. Bellows [Hayden Rorke]!) and reclaim Hawaii for himself! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jeannie (Barbara Eden) agrees to babysit her magical infant nephew Adbullah, but it is Tony (Larry Hagman)--and only Tony--who can stop the baby from its incessant crying. When Dr. Bellows (Hayden Rorke) drops in on Tony, he jumps to the inaccurate conclusion that the astronaut is sick and rushes him off to the hospital. Thus it is that Roger (Bill Daily) is saddled with looking after Abdullah--and when the kid starts bawling again, the stage is set for the anticipated farcical denoument. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the opening episode of I Dream of Jeannie's fourth season, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) stows away when Tony (Larry Hagman) and Roger (Bill Daily) are assigned to test a top-secret NASA spacecraft, which is shaped like a saucer. Alas, the craft crashlands in hillbilly country, whereupon a couple of gun-totin' rubes (Kathleen Freeman, J. Pat O'Malley) capture Tony, Roger and Jeannie, intending to collect a huge reward for bagging some genuine "Martians". But wait, there's more: Jeannie is unconscious, and can't use her magic to rescue herself or the others! The part of hillbilly gal Daisy Lou is played by Lisa Gaye, who previously costarred with Barbara Eden in the 1950s sitcom How to Marry a Millionaire. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Just as Tony (Larry Hagman) developed amnesia in the first-season episode "I'll Never Forget What's Her Name", so too does Jeannie (Barbara Eden) lose her memory in this third-season offering. Unable to remember anything, Jeannie refuses to believe that she is a genie, going so far as to hire a lawyer (Richard Deacon) to sue NASA for the accident that caused her amnesia. Tony (Larry Hagman) must race against time to prevent Jeannie's doctor (Chet Stratton) from learning the truth about the girl--and to rescue Dr. Bellows (Hayden Rorke), whom Jeannie had previously transformed into a laboratory mouse bound for the moon! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

While shopping at a department store, Martin (Ray Walston) takes a whiff of the new cologne "Home Fatale"--and promptly freezes in a mannequin-like posture. Unless Tim (Bill Bixby) can take him home to reverse the process, Martin will remain a permanent clothes dummy. Unfortunately, the store manager refuses to sell the mannequin Martin at any price--and just when things couldn't possibly get worse, Mrs. Brown (Pamela Britton) is likewise "frozen", moments before the untimely arrival of Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt)! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Chaos ensues when Martin's eleven-year-old Martian nephew Andromeda (Wayne Stam), aka "Andy", crashlands on earth. Unlike Martin (Ray Walston), who is wisely hesitant to reveal his true identity, Andy cheerfully goes around telling everyone he's from Mars, and takes great delight in showing off his magical Martian skills. Martin and Tim (Bill Bixby) must figure out a way to curb Andy's enthusiasm before Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt) swoops down. Filmed (but not telecast) as the third-season finale of My Favorite Martian, this episode was supposed to have established Wayne Stam as a regular on the series' fourth season--but the show was cancelled before this came about. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Once again, Martin's duplicating machine malfunctions, and the result is two Tims (both played by Bill Bixby). Taking advantage of the situation, the "real" Tim puts his clone to work so that he will be free to go on a date. Alas, the "other" Tim turns out to be the proverbial evil twin, getting both himself and his lookalike in plenty of trouble--more, in fact, than Martin (Ray Walston) can handle. Mrs. Brown's snoopy nephew George, previously played by Bernie Kopell, is here enacted by Steve Franken. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

My Favorite Martian launches its third and final season with its first color episode, and its first (and only) two-part story. In his efforts to return to the moment just before he crash-landed on earth in 1963, Uncle Martin (Ray Walston) deploys his Cathode-Ray Centrifugal Time Breakascope--which hurls himself and Tim (Bill Bixby) way, WAY back to the St. Louis of the year 1849. Here the two time-travellers meet Marshal Brennan (Alan Hewitt), great-grandfather of Martin's perennial nemesis Detective Brennan (also Alan Hewitt), who upholds family tradition by arresting the duo as counterfeiters when they try to pass 20th Century currency. Later on, Tim and Martin confront the great-grandmother of their landlady Lorelei Brown (both roles played by Pamela Britton)--and promptly make a mistake that could grievously alter the course of the future! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Martin (Ray Walston) is no longer able to move objects at will; his levitation finger has gone haywire thanks to overexposure to solar rays (or in other words, the finger has a sunburn!) When things begin levitating out of control around the house, a worried Mrs. Brown (Pamela Britton) brings in paranormal investigator Professor Clemmons (Vaughn Taylor). The presence of Clemmens makes it difficult if not impossible for Martin to cure himself before his problem becomes permanent! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This is the first of several episodes built around Martin's most remarkable invention, a time machine--or more specifically, the Cathode-Ray Centrifugal Time Breakascope (CCTBS for short). Accidentally activating, the machine, Tim (Ray Walston) is hurtled back to the England of the year 1215, just before the signing of the Magna Carta. Equally accidentally, Tim prevents the crucial document from being signed into law by King John (Anthony Eustrel)--and it is up to Martin (Ray Walston) to make certain that world history is not disastrously altered! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tim (Bill Bixby) accidentally interferes with the special "black light" that was intended to give Martin (Ray Walston) a small jolt of rejuvenation--and as a result, Martin regresses to infancy. When Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt) shows up and asks where the baby came from, Tim alibis that the child was abandoned at his doorstep, whereupon Brennan whisks the miniaturized Martin to a hospital nursery. Dutifully, Tim sneaks into the nursery to rescue Martin--but which baby is which? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of My Favorite Martian's two-part Season Three opener, Martin (Ray Walston) and Tim (Bill Bixby) are still stuck in the West of 1849, still endeavoring to return to the 20th century via their "CCTBS" time machine. Joining a wagon train headed for California, they are victimized by a pair of riverboat thieves who think our heroes know the location of a valuable gold strike. Things get worse when Martin, Tim and the lookalike ancestors of Mrs. Brown (Pamela Britton) and Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt) are captured by Indians. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It is "Martian Mother's Day", and Martin (Ray Walston) is depressed over being so far away from his own mother.

Martin vows to perform a good deed for his "surrogate parent" Cora, but his plan backfires, plunging the dear old lady into some serious trouble!

Gavin McLeod makes the first of two appearances as Mrs. Brown's younger brother Alvin, a lifelong moocher with a tendency to stretch the truth to the breaking point. Thanks to Alvin's loose lips, a high ranking general (Don Briggs) becomes convinced that Alvin and Martin (Ray Walston) are working on a top-secret government project (which doesn't exist). Unfortunately, this misinformation also arouses the curiosity of the sinister espionage agency CRUSH, who caused plenty of trouble for Martin and Tim (Bill Bixby) in the previous episode "006-3/4". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

To counteract his waspish personality, Martin (Ray Walston) basks in his Martian "benevolence bulb", which makes everyone fond of him--even Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt). Impressed, Tim (Bill Bixby) tries the bulb out himself, unaware that it has the exact opposite effect on human beings. Now Tim inspires nothing but hatred from people--and now Martin must locate an antidote before the whole world ends up despising his hapless roommate! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
