Does anyone recall the episode, where Uncle Martin levitated with his nose? Furthermore, he made a reference to "Bewitched" the t.v. show. Relating levitating with his nose to Samantha's nose twitch. One last question, who do you think would win in a game of chess, Uncle Martin or Mr. Spock?

The "nose" thing happens in "Go West, Young Martian, Go West". This is the two part episode that TV-Land always shows on two different days despite the fact that they show two episodes a day.

Comparing two different fictional characters from two different genres is silly, but I never let that stop me. Spock would win. Remember that Martin considered Da Vinci to be an intellectual peer and brought him forward in time for consultation. No human is ever portrayed as the equal to a vulcan.

What a delightful question to speculate. I believe that such a game might end in a draw. However, if it was a chess tournament, then I think that Spock’s flawless logic and emotional control would have a slight advantage and he would most likely prevail. But our favorite Martian would certainly be a worthy challenger.

Uncle Martin did not make a reference to Bewitched. He says that he saw it on TV. We are left to guess as to where he saw it.

yes..but doesn't he say something like "I owe this to that young witch on the tv?" I know he said something like that...

Actually, he used the nose twitch twice, in two different episodes.

The first time,in “Go West..”, he only says that he saw it on television, and,after it worked, he remarked, “I’ll never knock your earthy television programs again.”

The second time he used it, in the episode about the CRUSH spy Butterball, he does reference “Bewitched” by saying, “-Oh yes, like that young witch you have on television. It’s a lot less efficient than levitation…”
