Marvin Marvin

Typically, with shows like this, I'll watch an episode to gage how good (or bad) it is. Yeah, I couldn't make it through an episode.. Hell, I couldn't even make it through five minutes before trying to run away from this poor excuse of a show. It is AWFUL. Absolutely AWFUL.

The actors should be ashamed to even affiliate themselves with this.

The episode that I just saw had to do with some Earth Day stuff and the main character (Marvin) was preparing for this before learning that his Uncle Steve was coming to visit. And who played his uncle? French Stewart. Yeah, the guy from 3rd Rock From the Sun. He must be DESPERATELY seeking work to affiliate himself with this "show". That, or/and he's blown all of his money savings and will do anything to get some money. That's the only reason I can think of for French Stewart to appear in a show like this. In all honesty, I feel sorry for him. I would hate to be him right now, as I'm sure most people would after seeing that episode because frankly, I wanted to gouge my eyes out. It was horrific and is honestly one of the worst TV shows I have ever seen in my 23 years of existence.

And I also feel sorry for Casey Sander, who plays Bernadette's father on the Big Bang Theory (one of my favorite shows). According to IMDb, he's been in a dozen episodes in this franchise and he must be in the same boat as French Stewart. I would rather be the janitor at Wal-Mart or at a Special Kids Camp than be a part of "Marvin, Marvin".

The kid who plays Marvin, Lucas Cruitylaodfjkdfashnk or whatever the f*** his name is, is a HORRIBLE actor. He just can't do it. And that's the worst part of the show. None of the people on the show can act. The aforementioned French Stewart and Casey Sander can (I've seen them in other stuff), so I know they're not the problem. The others are. The dude that plays Marvin must bring everyone down with him -- that, and the scripts are downright horrendous.

The only reason that this show would be even somewhat enjoyable to watch is that the mom is kinda hot. That's about it. Other than that, I don't know what redeeming qualities people see in this. Nickelodeon has gone downhill, BAD. When I was a kid, I had All That, Hey Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Rocket Power, Rugrats, Angry Beavers and many other great and enjoyable shows. But now, it appears that this network has just gone down the crapper and it has to do with shows like "Marvin, Marvin" and that Fred show, which Lucas Cruikshank also starred in apparently (didn't know that, but I assume it was horrible too).

If I could give this show a negative rating, I would. But unfortunately, I can't and that sucks. Do yourself a favor and go rent some of the worst movies of all-time like Gigli, Movie 43, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, Bio-Dome, Catwoman, Jack and Jill, Superbabies, or Battlefield Earth because chances are, they're 100x better than this crap.

Why is Nickelodeon obsessed with this Lucas Cruikshank loser. Fred is not funny and this dude has no talent. The fact that this dweeb got 2 of his own shows on Nickelodeon is completely preposterous. What were they smoking at Nickelodeon to green-lit this piece of turd. Bad acting, jokes, characters, and story lines. The main character Marvin is annoying as hell.

Luckily both Fred:the show and Marvin Marvin were one season wonders. I'd like it if these two never aired in the first place. Come on Nickelodeon you can do better than this. Their programming in the last few years has been absolutely HORRIBLE!

Marvin Marvin doesn't even deserve a rating from me at all.

It is so hard to really like this show. However you felt about any other shows on Nickelodeon before, Marvin Marvin makes them appear more well done and more like the people involved in the other shows were really putting effort into what they did, and I even believe that and can give those people kudos to that. But just the way Marvin Marvin is written, and the way they direct Lucas Cruikshank makes me believe otherwise.

Let me start off with this: I love Nickelodeon. I grew up with a lot of it. Not to state I'm a 90's kid but I loved Rugrats, CatDog, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold, SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents and Jimmy Neutron. I never saw the live action shows like Kenan & Kel and All That but for what they were when I did take a look, they were pretty good. The Amanda Show was alright too. I liked any of the movies that was made from that network. I grew up more with live action shows like Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, True Jackson VP and a bit of Big Time Rush. How to Rock got better for me and Bucket & Skinner was enjoyable as well and Ashley Argota, I believe, had an even better role than she had as a side character on TJVP. I can enjoy most things. And for some shows that may be criticized, I can look deep into the shows and really look at the characters and see either how much better they get as "people" over time, or can see more to the characters and thankfully good things about them that make me keep watching. There maybe really subtle messages in a show I'll find that I really like. For comedies, I like actually looking at a comedy and I don't always like when they have a message that's literally in your face like a PSA. I'll understand why something is funny and I can laugh to that. But here in Marvin Marvin, it's hard to look deep into the characters and find good things about them or find any positive messages without Lucas being on the screen for a majority of the half hour.

The only way anybody can watch the show again after one episode is if they could pretend the show is not about Marvin and instead it was about, say, the family, or even Marvin's supposed-to-be sister. I saw a little bit of the pilot episode and although I do hate that at one point they build up her ambition of being journalist so she can meet Rob Pattinson because he's in Twilight, I do think they at least made her out to be like how many teenage girls are in this day and age. In fact, in the episode I did watch all the way, the family scenes were more decent when Lucas wasn't on the screen. So for me, the real problem with this show is just Lucas. I don't know why Lucas keeps taking such obnoxious roles. Like, really, what was he thinking? The other problem is how Marvin is written. Stupid doesn't always mean funny. There's a limit to how much you can get away with making something stupid funny. Would it have been insulting to make Marvin sound really intelligent and even ahead of our time that the people around him just see him as a nerd?

I'm sure Lucas is a nice guy in real life but he can do so much better than this and we deserve better shows than this. This might very well be the Garbage Pail Kids of television and I hope all the other actors can get a chance to shine in something else because chances are Marvin Marvin is not going to be that show that allows them to do so.

I'm not going to tell anyone what they should watch instead of this show like all the other people, just find something else to watch if you can't take this. And if you can manage to like this show, more power to you. But Marvin Marvin is to me the one show that shows that no other show on Nickelodeon was as bad as people thought.

OK, this is awful. It was cancelled after 14 shows because it's that bad. It consists of flat jokes and canned laughter. If you're looking for a good kids show stick to Adventure Time kids. The casting is awful as it features cheap actors that will never make it. The jokes are cringe worth and not forgetting the main character, Marvin. Marvin is a awful actors but he's best known as Fred from youtube who is now the worlds biggest sellout. He is so annoying and there's no reason at all to laugh at this show. If nickelodeon took a dump while eating cat food... It would be this show. Although Nickelodeon is strugglig to make quality shows this was the all time low. They need to put more time in to their ideas. STAY AWAY KIDS.

...but this is just ridiculous. Yet another Nickelodeon sitcom that has nothing to show for itself, but that it's utter crap. This show makes Out of Jimmy's Head (which was awful) look like gold. I have nothing personal against Lucas Cruikshank, but the truth is if he's starring in something, odds are it's going to be terrible like the Fred series (although his cameo in iCarly (way better than this) was a little funny). The idea that an alien tries to adapt to life on earth idea has been used over and over (Sym-Bionic Titan, Invader Zim, American Dad which are all better than this pile of garbage). I can live with the idea, but that doesn't excuse how terrible the acting is. Like I said before nothing personal against Lucas Cruikshank, but the things he stars in are just awful. Now does he have potential? Maybe. Is he using that possible potential? No. Can he do better? Definitely. So Lucas, calm down, stop being all annoying and/or squeaky voiced, and actually use your talent that you (might) have and ditch this crap you've been working on for something better.
