Saturtainment: Lonely Okie (My Favorite Martians, 1973)

 Well, after years of just the series intro, we finally have an episode of My Favorite Martians available.

Okie is a pink furred Martian dog, the pet of Martin (Jonathan Harris) and his nephew, Andromeda, or, Andy (Lane Scheimer, also heard on Lassie's Rescue Rangers & The Brady Kids). As Martin explains in the open, Okie is in need of a friend, if not also true companionship.


Insofar as we know, this was the only animated series Harris worked on for Filmation, after The Three Musketeers and a animated pilot for Lost in Space for Hanna-Barbera. Harris would return to Filmation two years later (Uncle Croc's Block).

No rating. Just a public service.
