Game Over was a short-lived UPN series produced by Carsy-Werner.
Game Over focused on what happens to video game characters after the game ends. The show is based around the Smashenburns, a far-from-ordinary suburban family that lives in an alternate video game universe.
UPN hyped Game Over a lot before its debut. Some were skeptical of Game Over due to UPN's track record with their cartoons, but the show generally received positive press upon its airing [1]. Despite this, only six episodes were made, which aired on a variety of different days.
