  The first season was mildly amusing but the second season was one of the most ludicrous, abysmal failures in history. The entire supporting cast walked after the first season, except for Robin Riker's character, the wife of his best friend, who despised Chris with a passion. Brin Doyle Murray played Gus and the entire season was just about those three. The writing gymnastics performed to get them together was downright absurd. I seem to remember that there was one episode where Chris forces them to play charades! Truly dreadful!less «

  9.7 Superb

  Possibly the best comedy ever... hide « show »

  Back in the early nineties, a show that contained so many surreal moments and nods to pop culture with such an immature yet sophisticated mindset, was a novelty. Unsung, underappreciated - the proverbial flash in the pan that Get a Life is, so many shows today surely owe their existence to this gem whether they know it or not. Either that or these guys just did it first, but which ever way you cut it - this show is pivotal, seminal and other big impressive words you would use to describe something that is truly awesome. Scrubs, Family Guy, My Name is Earl - these shows might not even know of little Chrissy Peterson and his wacky adventures but one thing is for sure, if Get a Life was made today it would be a stone cold hit. For Jeebus sake, someone release this show on DVD! Before Al Gore kills us all!

  a classic that got lost in the pile.........sadly. chris elliot and brian doyle-murray make this worth watching. hide « show »

  chris elliot plays a 30 yr old paperboy still living in his dads basement, and finds some interesting things to do with his days.............which are so off the wall, youll probably think before laughing, and then bust out in hilarity. this show only lasted 2 yrs, but i think its because it was so far ahead of its time. if you put this out now, it would score. im looking for a dvd collection of the episodes, and hope to find it soon. this was a funny show, and i miss it.............remember this show? it used to be on after parker lewis on 41................

  Chris Elliott plays a slacker who lives at home with his parents and works as a paper boy. hide « show »

  I remember when this show was first on,I wasnt really into it.To be honest,Chris Elliott has always struck me as an acquired taste.But the episodes I remember were actually pretty funny,especially the ones with Brian Doyle-Murray.And the shows producer was David Mirkin,straight from The Simpsons,so it had something going for it.I think if the show had lasted I mightve become a regular watcher.One of the things I remember is the theme,"Stand" by REM.And seeing Chris Elliott with his father,comic icon Bob Elliott from Bob and Ray,was great.I guess the show is on DVD now,so maybe someday,Ill check it out again.

  Crazy Comidy Fun! hide « show »

  This show was the Funnyest thing I have ever seen 2nd only to Married with Children.
  
  The world's oldest Paper boy moves out of his parents house (or was it kicked out?) and moves into a Retired dead beat cop's gardge, where a load of crazy and outrageusly humoris events take place.
  
  Like like Married with Children on Acid!

  9.5 Superb

  The first show about a flat out loser becomes a sure fire winner!!! hide « show »

  The first time I ever saw Chris Elliot was as the Conspiracy guy on "Late Night with David Letterman" and from then on it was a big deal with my circle of friends when ever he appeared.
  
  Well, the writing he did on Letterman was only a warm up to the hilarity that would be "Get a Life". The early 90's show of a stupid, goofy, and very dumb 30 year old Paper boy who still lives with his parents was just so hip many people didn't get it. It was a show where Chris would sometimes die at the end!!! Certainly well ahead of it's time, and certainly in need of a season by season DVD release. "Get a Life" is a great show for somebody who wants something quirky and different with their half hour Sit-Com.
