Glenn Martin[]
After accidentally burning down his house in Freeland, Pennsylvania, loving father and dentist Glenn Martin, DDS takes his family — his beautiful wife Jackie, their hormone-addled 13-year-old son Conor, their power suit-wearing 11-year-old daughter Courtney, Courtney's overachieving assistant Wendy, and Canine (the family's dog who has an oversized anus, which Glenn in the opening sequence calls a heart) — on a cross-country road trip in order to strengthen their family bond together.
Glenn Theory[]
A popular theory among the Glenn Martin, DDS fandom is that Glenn Martin is entirely aware that he is in a television show. This is made apparent by the fact that in almost every single episode Glenn can sometimes be seen staring directly at the camera (or the viewer). Fans have speculated that Glenn Martin may have been a real person, maybe even a real dentist, whose soul resides inside the show for all eternity, unable to escape his never ending nightmare of being a father, dentist, and lover (but mostly father and dentist).
