Based on a popular "point and click adventure" computer game with the same name although, besides the character Fred Edison, the game and the TV series doesn't have any connection between them. They don't even share the same plot or storyline.

A good show, but wasn't given a chance.

I liked the show and am not happy that it no longer comes on, but the video game was MUCH better. If you've played it for Nintendo or computer, than you know.
