Synopsis
The far-from-ordinary suburban Smashenburn family live in an alternate video-game universe comprised of offbeat characters. Within this world of action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters inspired by popular video games, the Smashenburns find unconventional ways to survive everyday issues.
As head of the Smashenburn household, Rip is a hotshot Grand Prix racecar driver who rides and wrecks daily. His feisty and attractive wife, Raquel, is a modern working woman juggling family and her exhilarating job as 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 conscious teen.
In the family's master plan to form a stronger bond, the Smashenburns attempt to find a perfect pet. Yet they end up with Turbo, a 300-pound talking creature whose favorite pastimes are robbing pawnshops, 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, including the attractive Dark Princess and her husband Sam.
