Premiering on November 24, 2012,
Marvin Marvin is a
Fantastic Comedy Kid Com series on
Nickelodeon starring internet celebrity Lucas Cruikshank of
Fred fame.
Marvin is an alien from the planet Klooton (not
Mars). When his planet is attacked by evil invaders, the Klurg, Marvin's parents put him into a spacecraft and send him off to Earth. Here on Earth, Marvin is protected by the Formans, your typical American family. The series deals with Marvin adjusting to life as a typical human teenage male while going to high school.
