Filmed on location in the Philippines Robert Aldrich's Too Late the Hero is set in the last months of World War II. Lackadaisical navy lieutenant Cliff Robertson, who happens to speak fluent Japanese, is ordered to go on a suicide mission to wipe out an enemy observation post.

All three men prove to have unsuspected reserves of courage when the going gets toughest. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This grim historical drama from director Martin Ritt was loosely based on real-life events. Richard Harris stars as James McParlan, an operative for the Pinkerton Detective Agency in 1876. The Pinkertons have been hired by a major coal company to infiltrate and expose an underground terrorist organization, the "Molly Maguires," operating within the impoverished mining communities of Pennsylvania. As most of the miners are Irish, the recently emigrated McParlan is selected to pose as a new worker just arrived in the area. He quickly wins the trust and loyalty of the local terrorist leader, Jack Kehoe (Sean Connery), as well as the affection of his landlord's beautiful daughter, Mary Raines (Samantha Eggar). As it becomes clear that the group he's supposed to betray is protesting truly wretched working conditions, the lawman's loyalties become divided between the law and his fellow countrymen. The Molly Maguires (1970) was Oscar nominated for Best Art and Set Direction. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Jeannie (Barbara Eden) gets into a legal jam when she tries to charge items at stores where she has no credit. Husband Tony (Larry Hagman) demands that Jeannie immediately go on a strict budget--an order that results in near-disaster when Tony brings visiting Russian cosmonaut Gregorian (Noam Pitlik) home to dinner. And this being a late-1960s sitcom, it is perhaps inevitable that a bunch of hippies are also worked into the story! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Facing eviction, the nuns are compelled to accept landlord Moreno (Ivor Francis) as their house guest.

Every 300 years or so, the Martian strain of hay fever known as "Sneezaphobia" manifests itself. Promptly catching the malady, Martin (Ray Walston) begins suffering temporary memory lapses. Though he knows the cure for Sneezophobia, Martin has trouble remembering it--and even worse, the forgetful Martian might very well reveal his true identity in the presence of the inquisitive Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt)! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

With the help of some Martian noodle soup, Martin (Ray Walston) subliminally teaches thrift to the overly generous Mrs. Brown (Pamela Brown), who is on the verge of giving away all her money to charity. Alas, Martin's efforts succeed all too well, and Mrs. Brown is transformed into a Scroogelike miser. This metamorphosis is not only a headache for Martin and Tim, but may also prove disastrous for Mrs. Brown: Now that she keeps all her money at home, she is ripe for plucking by a canny cat burglar (Len Lesser). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Thanks to a botched experiment, Martin (Ray Walston) is transformed into a walking magnet. To avoid arousing the suspicions of Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt), Martin transfers his magnetic powers to Andy (Herbie Faye), a reformed criminal now working as Mrs. Brown's handyman. Before long, his new-found ability to attract metal objects makes it appear as though poor Andy is picking pockets again--and it is now Martin's responsibility to clear Andy without drawing attention to himself! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Martin (Ray Walston) gets mighty jealous when he sees Detective Brennan (Alan Hewitt) dallying with Mrs. Brown (Pamela Britton). To relieve the aggravation, Martin forces clouds of steam to spew out of his ears.

Gidget (Sally Field) thinks that her low grades in English are due to the fact that her teacher, Donald Hardy (Noam Pitlik), is a former friend of her father Russ (Don Porter). Convinced that Hardy is prejudiced against her, Gidge figures out a scheme to prove this theory. Thus it is that, when time comes for her to turn in her latest composition, she hands over a paper originally written by Russ--which received an "A" first time around. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Tim (Bill Bixby) and Martin (Ray Walston) scurry down to Mexico, where an ancient Aztec chest is about to opened during a public ceremony. The chest contains a carved likeness of Martin from one of his previous visits to earth, and he must prevent its being rediscovered lest his true identity be revealed. Complicating matters is the fact that Martin's antennae are locked in the upright position--the consequence of eating too many hot chili peppers! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the first of several episodes cashing in on the "spy craze" of the mid-1960s, Tim (Bill Bixby) falls for a beautiful secret agent named Kitty (Susanne Cramer), aka "Agent 004" of the government organization TOPSEEK. For her sake, he agrees to deliver an important message, whereupon he is drafted as an undercover agent to infiltrate the sinister enemy cartel CRUSH. Not surprisingly, Tim gets in way over his head, and it's Uncle Martin (Ray Walston) to the rescue as usual. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
