The BEST episodes of Marlon season 1

Every episode of Marlon season 1, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of Marlon season 1!

Loosely inspired by the real life of star Marlon Wayans, this update to the classic family comedy centers on a loving (but immature) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife. While his misguided fatherly advice, unstoppable larger-than-life personality and unpredictable Internet superstardom might get in the way, for Marlon, family really always does come first - even if he's the biggest kid of all.
