NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Nickelodeon said Tuesday it has ordered a second season of 20 episodes of its U.S. stop-motion animated series, "Glenn Martin, DDS."

The show is the first television series from Michael Eisner's Tornante Animation.

Marjorie Cohn, executive vice president of development and original programming for Nickelodeon, made the announcement regarding the renewal of the show.

The series is about the offbeat adventures of the Martin family as they criss-cross America in their RV. It features the voice talents of Kevin Nealon, Catherine O'Hara and Judy Greer.

"'Glenn Martin, DDS' is an irreverent twist on the classic family sit-com, told in the style of Nickelodeon with a kids' point of view at the center," Cohn said in a statement. "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."
