Two Martians Land in Suburbia
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A Martian couple arrives in a rented suburban house to investigate a possible Earth weapon: television. Their human disguises leave them baffled by mirrors, ears and elbows, and a visit from next-door neighbor Garry Moore turns greetings, sitting and smoking into awkward lessons in imitation. Once Moore explains the television set, their urgent reconnaissance gives way to the familiar difficulty of turning it off.
