Animated Tron Spoof Coming to UPN

Gudlyf writes "Sci Fi Wire is reporting that executive producers of 'That 70's Show,' Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach, are doing a CGI-animated midseason replacement show for UPN called 'Game Over,' which is best described as a sitcom spoofing 'Tron.' The show centers on the Smashenburns, an ordinary suburban family who live in an alternate video-game universe inhabited by action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters. Patrick Warburton and Marisa Tomei will be voicing the husband Rip and wife Raquel respectively."

Did anyone else read an ordinary suburban family who live in an alternate video-game universe and think "So that's what all those ordinary suburban families do nowadays. That's why I never see them about anymore" ?

Typecasting!

"...and Artie Lange as the family's 300-pound pet creature."

Poor Artie.

Even More Timely than SpaceBalls

A parody of "Tron"? That's a little out of date, isn't it? What's next, a sizzling indictment of shark movies?

Mel Brooks must be kicking himself.
