Marvin Marvin is an American science fiction slapstick comedy television series that aired from November 24, 2012 to April 27, 2013. The series stars Lucas Cruikshank as the title character Marvin Marvin, an alien teenage boy adjusting to human life. On June 26, 2013, Cruikshank said that he had left Nickelodeon.
Set in Portland, Oregon, Marvin Marvin follows the adventures of a teenage alien with special powers named Marvin (Lucas Cruikshank) who was sent to Earth by his parents in order to protect him from evil invaders on his home planet, Klooton. Under the supervision of his new human parents, Bob (Pat Finn) and Liz (Mim Drew), Marvin tries to adjust to life on Earth as a typical American teenager. Helping him navigate Earth’s unfamiliar social customs are Marvin’s human siblings Teri (Victory Van Tuyl) and Henry (Jacob Bertrand) and his mischievous grandfather, Pop-Pop (Casey Sander). As if teaching Marvin how to act human wasn’t hard enough, the family and even Teri’s curious best friend, Briana (Camille Spirlin), must also conceal his real identity from the world.
The series was also occasionally broadcast in Brazil by SBT until late 2016, yet it was aired out of order as a filler together with other sitcoms such as Two and a Half Men, Friends and The Big Bang Theory after the late-night variety program Okay Pessoal. These airings ended when the aforementioned show went defunct. It was replaced by a live news program.
Marvin Marvin received mostly negative reviews. Common Sense Media gave the show 2 out of 5 stars stating, "... The show's best feature is the care it takes to reminding viewers that it's important to be yourself, even when that makes you different from your peers. From a kid's point, however, this message is lost amid Marvin's outrageous predicaments."Media Life Magazine stated, "Marvin Marvin is simply bland, bland," while Brian Lowry of Variety called the sitcom a "teeth-gnashing affair" and its gags "stale".
