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 released on July 26, 2019. The series has been renewed for a seventh season which will premiere on August 12, 2019.

Premise
Marlton follows the daily lives of the residents of the eponymous town located in South New Jersey. The town is inspired by the numerous locations which series creator Ralf Hat grew up in, primarily around the Camden county area. Plenty of characters are also based off of real people in Hat's life, especially the main cast: The Marlton boys - a diverse group of acquaintances from differing backgrounds.
