Marlton

Marlton (also known as Marlton, Pike & Beyond) is an American animated comedy series which first aired on Kingson on September 6, 2011. The series is set in its eponymous New Jerseyan town, revolving around the bizarre misadventures of a colorful bunch of characters. A satire on modern sitcoms, the mainstream media, and suburban culture, Marlton is also heavily inspired by series creator Ralf Hat's lifetime while growing up in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. Origins of Marlton date back to as far as 2005, and the pilot episode was pitched to the network three years later in 2008. Its first season, though garnering mixed ratings eventually, drew in a large demographic of the channel's teenaged audience which peaked by its second through fourth seasons. With its unconventional humor and character-based storytelling, the shows popularity would soon heighten into becoming the highest rated series on the network, thus spawning a franchise including video games, merchandise, an online spinoff. A feature film adaption based on the show entitled Marlton Movie - The Motion Picture has been scheduled for a July 26, 2019 release. The series has been renewed for a sixth season which will premiere on August 12, 2019.
