Creases at bottom right corner and along the top of the photo as well as a tiny edge tear at top. Near fine. Judy Garland was on a huge resurgence. Told she should not work again after a health scare in 1959, she rallied and spent five years at the top of her game with 5 movies, concerts in Europe, numerous record albums, nightclub and Vegas performances, and the grand Carnegie Hall concert and tour of 32 cities which led to interest from TV networks.

The first half of the show featured Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra as her guests; the second half was a mini version of her Carnegie Hall concert. Presented by CBS, it was a huge success. Caricatures such as this appeared in TV magazines and newspapers. Two original CBS paper blurbs are attached.…

Most have affixed descriptive text, one has a date stamp. In a few cases the text is loose but present. Also included is a 1/25/65 two-page press release from CBS about Ray Walston, who played the Martian. Overall near fine or better. My Favorite Martian was a sitcom that aired on CBS from September 29, 1963, to May 1, 1966, for 107 episodes. The show starred Ray Walston as Uncle Martin (the Martian) and Bill Bixby as Tim O'Hara. It was the first of the fantasy situation comedies prevalent on American television in the mid-1960s featuring characters who could do extraordinary things. Its premise was that a human-appearing extraterrestrial in a one-man spaceship nearly collides at high altitude with the U.S. Air Force's rocket plane, the North American X-15. The spaceship's pilot is a 450-year-old anthropologist from Mars. Tim O'Hara, a young newspaper reporter for The Los Angeles Sun, is on his way home from Edwards Air Force Base, where he had gone to report on the flight of the X-15. Returning home to Los Angeles, O'Hara spots the same silver spaceship crash land nearby. Tim takes in the Martian, saying to other people that he is Tim's uncle Martin. The Martian refuses to reveal any of his special traits to humans, other than Tim, to avoid both publicity and human panic. Tim agrees to keep the Martian's Earth identity a secret while he attempts to repair his spaceship. Uncle Martin has various unusual powers: he can raise two retractable antennae from the back of his head and become invisible; he is telepathic and can read and influence minds; he can levitate objects with the motion of his index finger; he can communicate with animals; he can freeze people or objects; and he can speed himself (and other people) up to do any kind of work. Also an inventor, Uncle Martin builds several advanced devices, such as a time machine that transports Tim and the Martian to England in the Middle Ages and other times and places, such as St. Louis in 1849 and the early days of Hollywood, and brings Leonardo da Vinci and Jesse James into the present. Another device he builds is a "molecular separator" that can take apart the molecules of a physical object, or rearrange them (making a squirrel into a human). Another device can take memories and store them in pill form to "relearn" them later. Other devices create temporary duplicates, or levitate Martin and others without the need of his index finger.…
