Game Over (TV series)

Game Over was a short-lived UPN series produced by Carsey-Werner-Mandabach Productions, LLC. It is aimed at teenage audiences and focuses on what happens to your favorite video game characters after the game ends. UPN had hyped the show a lot before its debut. Some people were skeptical of this because of UPN's track record with their cartoons.
