I enjoyed My Favorite Martian in reruns when I was a kid, but I wouldn't collect it. I think the reason it didn't make beyond the third season wasn't so much due to lower ratings, but because the writers ran out of original ideas. The sitcom certainly looked better in color (as any series did), but once MFM did the inevitable time-travel and main-character-is-shrunk episodes that all fantasy and sci-fi oriented programs do at some point, they had "Jumped the shark".
