Meh. Nothing Special...,
By Big Joe '83 (Melbourne, VIC Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Game Over - The Complete Collection (DVD)
Could of been a lot worse I guess, but I'm not shedding any tears over the show's quick cancellation. The problems with the show is that it tries that formula of mixing quirky family humor for the grown ups with cheap gags for the kiddies but it becomes just one big mess. Also, the children are pretty horrible characters, there's nothing to empathize with especially since they look SO modelled over market research. (Perhaps a comment of the shallow nature of the current video game industry? Unlikely.) They're just smug and self-absorbed but always painted as better people than the parents in the show. UPN's way of trying to be hip I guess. Patrick Warburton is the saving grace of the series and I guess there's a few game references in the first couple of episodes to validate your taste. In the end, nothing really memorable about this series.

Disc problems,

This review is from: Game Over - The Complete Collection (DVD)
I enjoyed this short-lived series on UPN and was delighted to hear it was coming to DVD. I purchased it from Suncoast and quickly found out there are problems with the menus on both discs. Suncoast replaced the set I bought and I encountered the same problems. I recently recieved my third set from Suncoast and found the same problems. In all cases the curser is missing from the menus and it is impossible to chose an option. In spite of this I would recommend this DVD set because of the content and the extras. As long as you don't have any problems navigating the menus. Has anyone else had this problem?

Tries to be humorous by focusing a family around sexuality,
By Lee (PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Game Over - The Complete Collection (DVD)
Rating this one star is still giving unworthy praise.I am sure teens who have not had to experience the hardships of youthful overindulgence likes this series. It makes sex/rebellion/and crude humor the focal point of the show and the family the show is about centers on this subject. A very immature, weak, unethical, trashy, and sad way of making money by film makers. If you want your own kids to end up in the gutter - then by all means - show them this. Garbage in - garbage out is a law of nature. Something of quality that lasts needs not constantly RELY on crude "humor" and references to sexually related subjects. Within the first few minutes the main character talks about his physical relationship with his wife - with kids present - (at least the authors thought enough to make them a married couple); there is a scene where they specifically reference their son's private parts; the viewer is taken to the mall to watch the father being put in a situation where his daughter asks his opinion of a see-through, lingerie-like undergarment she is contemplating on purchasing (which she says she has to buy while eluding to an upcoming date) and this info is texted to a network of her friends for everyone to "get a laugh" over (at least the father had enough sense to say she was not going on the date - shock!). I quit watching it at this point (should have stopped earlier but was thinking it would clean up and i could later skip this trashy part) b/c the junk kept right on showing up. The first ten minutes or so told me why this immaturely-based show was cancelled - and thankfully it was. I am glad I only spent 2.00 on it (to get my total Amazon bill up over the free shipping cut off). This attempt to make debauchery laughable now has been destroyed and resides in my trashcan as I would definitely not want to pass this on to someone who might even think of exposing their kids to it. And people wonder why their teens are rebellious, hedonistic, and end up in the gutter.
