Oh my god, this show is one of the most embarrassing blemishes on Nickelodeon, right next to Breadwinners, Fred the Show and the Thundermans! The fact that it even got past pitching is beyond me!
First of all, the plot. It's about an alien who lands on earth to live with a human family? Sound familiar? Oh yeah, it basically rips off Mork and Mindy, but updated it for teens in the 21st century.
Second of all, guess who they chose to play Marvin, of all people? They chose Lucas Cruikshank, the same person who gave the world that shrieking monstrosity Fred Figglehorn! At least he isn't running around screaming his head off like a deranged toddler.
Honestly, why is it that Nickelodeon went and axed all its good quality shows like Rugrats, Victorious, Wild Thornberrys and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and commissioned s**t like this. The characters in this monstrosity of a show have about as much depth as a toddler's paddling pool, the humour is just intended to make you sick and the message of being yourself gets undermined by the lame attempts at jokes.
Honestly, I think the world didn't feel like it lost much when Marvin Marvin was cancelled and Lucas left Nickelodeon. To quote the immortal words of Star Trek, "Beam me up, Scotty and take me away from this train wreck!"
