Nickelodeon has place a 20-episode order for a second season of the stop-motion animated comedy Glenn Martin, DDS.
Produced by former Disney chief Michael Eisner’s Tornante Animation, Nick at Nite says Glenn Martin DDS has become its No. 1 program among viewers ages 2 and up, with 2.1 million total viewers a week for the third quarter of 2009.
The series follows a dentist and his family who travel America in a tricked-out RV, and features the voices of Kevin Nealon, Catherine O’Hara and Judy Greer. The series was created by Eisner, Alex Berger and Eric Fogel.
‘Glenn Martin, DDS is an irreverent twist on the classic family sitcom, told in the style of Nickelodeon with a kids’ point of view at the center,’ said the network’s EVP of development and original programming Marjorie Cohn. ‘We are excited to continue our partnership with Michael Eisner’s Tornante Animation and to bring even more Martin family adventures to our audience.’
‘Glenn Martin, DDS has clearly resonated with families in its first couple of months,’ added Eisner. ‘The series is a great fit for Nick at Nite’s new evening programming, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.’
