Game Over (TV series)

Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox television Game Over is an American adult animated sitcom, created by David Sacks and produced by Carsey-Werner Productions. The series was broadcast on UPN in 2004 and was cancelled after five episodes.

Game Over (the title was inspired by the phrase "game over" that commonly concludes video games) focuses on what happens to video game characters after the game ends and recounted the lives of the Smashenburns, a far-from-ordinary suburban family that lived in an alternate video game universe. The series made numerous references to video games and even featured certain game characters in cameo appearances. For example, Crash Bandicoot appears on a Got Milk? billboard and creatures from Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee appear in one of the episodes.

Marisa Tomei originally voiced Raquel Smashenburn in the series' unaired pilot episode, but scheduling problems had Lucy Liu take over the role for the actual series.<ref>Dave Goestch of Game Over Template:Webarchive, UGO.</ref>

Game Over was heavily hyped by UPN before its debut. It generally received positive press on its airing.<ref>TELEVISION REVIEW; Video Game Heroes: Just Folks, The New York Times, March 10, 2004.</ref> Due to this, six episodes were produced and aired on a variety of different days; the fourth and fifth episodes were broadcast on April 2, 2004, with the sixth episode ("Monkey Dearest") never aired and only appears on the complete series DVD.
