I guess the show was not renewed for a second season?

According to Lucas' tweet, he left Nickelodeon: https://twitter.com/LucasCruikshank/status/350056101502386178

So yep, sounds like Marvin Marvin has been canned.

Nice of them to leave us up in the air. :rolleyes: Now I can remove the program from my DVR, thanks for the info.

I respect Lucas but I honestly think YouTubing and acting are not his thing.

Best wishes,
Chris Ferguson

If you've ever heard of Lucas Cruikshank, it's probably because of Fred: a screeching, high-pitched character he developed on YouTube before bringing to Nickelodeon. But this wasn't the only televised crime against humanity Cruikshank unleashed upon the world. After the failure of "Fred: the Show," Cruikshank returned for another short-lived, widely panned series on Nick, titled "Marvin Marvin."

Lucas traded his Fred character for the titular Marvin, who is almost as insufferable. Mercifully, this character, an alien whose parents sent him to earth disguised as a human to avoid the invasion of his home planet Klooton, doesn't stare into the camera and scream like Fred. But the rest of the manic, hyperactive energy that defines Cruikshank characters is there in all its headache-inducing glory.

Terrible writing and acting aside, the premise may be giving you déjà vu. Not only was "Mork and Mindy" already a thing, but Nick had explored this premise twice before, with "Invader Zim" (https://www.looper.com/590499/disturbingly-dark-childrens-franchises-that-scarred-us-forever/) and "The Journey of Allen Strange." Sure, Marvin wasn't secretly scheming to take over the world like Zim, but the whole "alien high schooler pretending to be human" thing is too close for comfort. Now that we're thinking about it, if Zim had just tried being as obnoxious as Marvin, we probably would've surrendered the planet just to get him to shut up.
