My Favorite Martian. Sorry I'm so-ooo late!

@snoops71 Never too late, Snoops

Simple. It's My Favorite Martian. Bill Bixby played Tim O'Hara, a newspaper reporter. Ray Walson played Uncle Martin, the Martian. Pamela Britton played Mrs. Brown, Tim's landlady. (Was Mrs. Brown widowed or divorced? She never mentions her husband.)

Good question, I never thought about it.

The answer is very obvious. Back in the day, it was unthinkable to have a divorcee on a tv show, so she was a widow. IN fact when the Mary Tyler Moore show premiered in 1971 she was portrayed as the first divorcee to be featured in a tv show.

Thanks for the comment, Bob. Ur right about back-in-the-day. Until Alice in 1976, it was a taboo subject!

Vivian Vance's character on the Lucy Show was the first ever divorced TV character. On the Mary Tyler Moore show, Mary Richards had a broken engagement. Linda Lavin's character, Alice, was a widow.

My Favorite Martian, of course. Was my favorite show as a kid.

Great acting, great comedy, great special effects. Was ahead of it's time IMO.
