I found mine at my local Walgreen's, which also had two eps: one had Martin shrinking down his spaceship to keep it hidden, only to have Brad and his pet chimp Chump find it and take it for a joy-ride. The other had Andy using his Uncle Martin's "personality reverser" on their snoopy neighbors, but, problem is they turn out to be OVERLY nice and less cocky and uptight.

That's just so typical of the 80's....money talks, especially to the point where we outsource our animation to foreigners. If you look at the 1985 "Jetsons" remake, you'll discover that there's a HUGE slew of Japanese names on their ending credits.

Martin and Brennan's landlady Lorelei could be so wild, so over-the-top (like when she serves Brennan flat meatballs, says "it's a real moneysaver" LOL) even though she could be a REAL annoying, shallow flirt with that "Poopsie" bit.

Growing up, I also noticed the same thing about Jonathan Harris' voice, but what really kills me is that that was also a caricature of him that they used, not Ray Walston in the original.

As a junior in college in the mid-90's, I went to my local Walgreen's, was browsing their VHS movies and what do I find? A VHS tape with the MFM logo, but also reads "Teenage Kamikaze Chimp" (albeit a cheesy exterior), trying to give the show some competition with Ninja Turtles. Since this wasn't out in video stores, I just took a small gamble, wanting catch up with some childhood memories. So, all in all, what can I say? MY FAVORITE MARTIANS: you either love it or you hate it, I LOVE IT!!!!! =)

Did ye ever get the feeling that Filmation took this pre-licensed TV cartoon thing a bridge too far?

[TheStanbabe]

If you thought that Mr.Harris hated"Uncle Croc's Block"..he must have dispised playing "Uncle Martin"on this lousey animated cartoon tv version of"My Favorite Martians!".

Is this a copy of a copy of a copy of a videotaped opening to the cartoon show? I mention this because the quality is quite a bit blurred. The way I understand it, if you make a copy of a copy of a copy of something, such as a photograph or photocopied document, the quality starts going down. By the way, this is one of my very favorite cartoon shows from childhood.
