I think the phrase "Game Over" is very fitting.. it'll be "game over" for this sitcom a week after it premieres, I bet.
You guys don't understand. Check out this official line quoted from EGM several months ago...
"As the head of the Smashenburn household, Rip is a hotshot Grand Prix racecar driver who rides and wrecks daily. His feisty and attractive qife, Raquel, is a modern working woman, juggling family and her exhilirating job as a gun-toting, monster fighting Agent Smashenburn. Their son, Billy, is a 13-year old shallow but trendy wannabe hip-hopster, who often argues with his 14-year-old sister, Alice, a cynical yet socially consious teen. [Their pet] Turbo, [is] a 300-pound talking creature whose favorite past times [sic]are robbing pawn shops, smoking stogies, and creating mayhem- all with an attitude. The friendly next-door neighbors are the Changs, a family of kung fu fighting Shaolin monks..."
I won't even bother focusing on individual lines, this whole thing is masterfully crafted... with attitude. (Okay I couldn't pass on that).

The sad part is that while I know they are being absurdly sarcastic, I would't be surprised if some company released a game like that being totally serious.

Actually, they are serious. What I meant to say is that EGM posted this unedited as an official company line. Direct from the horse's ass, as it were.

Either this will be a really gimmicky show, or pure gold, and either way, it'll get canned, if it's good, it'll probably end up on Comedy Central on Sunday Nights (They play Undergrads, The Critic, Dilbert and randomly play Clerks: The Animated Series, all which are hilarious :D)
Honestly though, if I had to design the show...
Father: Stereotypical action hero/mercenary for hire.
Mother: Already good
Son: Some sort of RPG cliche
Daughter: Sickenly adorable
Dog: 300 pound mosters are cool
Neighbors: Proming...sorta, if the shaolin monks could shoot fireballs and do flying dragon punches, but I would also add some space aliens and a menacing villian that tries to take over the world in hilariously awesome/stupid ways (ALA Invader Zim).
So...how about those...things....

What I don't quite understand is how this is really a video game show at all. I mean, yes, the dad is a racecar drive, the mom shoots folks for a living, the neighbors fight ninjas and the kids are . . . uhh, Xtreme, or something, but aside from the occasional guest, how is that different from any other 'odd family situation' type show? Sure, they could infuse he entire show with standard gimmickry, y'know 'oops, I fell off a cliff, good thing I still had an EXTRA LIFE *wink*' but the entire concept is . . . I mean, so, what, the world that they inhabit is supposed to be some sort of mish-mash of existing game situations somehow cobbled together into a working society? Blah. Yeah yeah, wait and see, but man, the descriptions of those kids are just . . . blah.

Yeah, exactly. How in the hell is THIS referring to a video game situation: "Their son, Billy, is a 13-year old shallow but trendy wannabe hip-hopster, who often argues with his 14-year-old sister, Alice, a cynical yet socially consious teen." You know, that game where you're an irritating teenager where you have to buy into all of the trends? Or how about that game genre where you're a teenage girl and you get points for being "socially conscious"? Bleh. That's just a candy-coated way of saying that the boy is a "masturbating Bizkiteer teen" and the girl is a whiny Lisa Simpson. Bleh. I'm tired of characters like that. A character like Meg Griffin is way more believable. Meg's irritating, but she is way more believable.
