Head over to UPN tonight to check out this unique video game show.
Tonight, gamers should tune their TVs to UPN to check out the first video game based show to hit primetime. Game Over features the far-from-ordinary suburban Smashenburn family, who live in an alternate video-game universe comprised of offbeat characters. Within this world of action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters inspired by popular video games, the Smashenburns find unconventional ways to survive everyday issues.
As head of the Smashenburn household, Rip (voiced by "Seinfeld" alum Patrick Warburton) is a hotshot Grand Prix racecar driver who rides and wrecks daily. His feisty and attractive wife, Raquel (voiced by Lucy Liu), is a modern working woman juggling family and her exhilarating job as a gun-toting, monster-fighting Agent Smashenburn. Their son, Billy (voiced by E.G. Daily), is a 13-year old shallow-but-trendy, wanna-be hip- hopster who often argues with his 14-year old sister, Alice (voiced by "Saturday Night Live's" Rachel Dratch), a cynical yet socially conscious teen. The family pet, Turbo (voiced by Artie Lange, a regular on “The Howard Stern Show”) is 300 pounds of everything a pet isn’t. He knocks over pawn shops, busts open parking meters and robs the fighting Shaolin monks who live next door.
