How many of you knew that when the live-action My Favorite Martian ended its run in 1966 that the adventure wasn't quite over? Well, a handful of years later the series returned to life -- albeit in animated form -- and My Favorite Martians continued the galactic exchange program for an additional sixteen episodes. Actor Jonathan Harris (of Lost In Space fame) took over the center seat, and a young-ish nephew was added to the fold for the kiddies.
Here's the series' premise as provided by IMDB.com:
"Martin and his nephew Andromeda return to Earth to cause havoc for Tim O'Hara."
