NEW YORK: Glenn Martin, DDS, a new stop-motion series from Michael Eisner’s Tornante Animation, is set for a prime-time debut on Nick at Nite on August 17.

The contemporary comedy looks at the adventures of a beleaguered dentist and his family as they trade in life in the suburbs for life on the road. The voice-over cast includes Kevin Nealon (Weeds, Anger Management) as Glenn Martin, Catherine O’Hara (For Your Consideration, Chicken Little) as Jackie Martin and Judy Greer (27 Dresses, Arrested Development) as Wendy Park.

Eric Fogel (Celebrity Deathmatch) is an executive producer overseeing animation and Sivert Glarum and Michael Jamin (King of the Hill, Just Shoot Me) serve as executive producers and showrunners.
