Get A Life is one of the funniest shows ever.That's why it got cancelled.The average person would rather watch a bunch of fools learning important life lessons.That's their idea of comedy.Not only was this show extremely funny, they made very weird story choices that always worked.The show starts off being about a 30 year old paperboy, his parents and his best friend.In early episodes they try to give Chris other paperboy friends but they quickly disappear.Almost every episode contains a ridiculous musical montage and it never gets old.At one point in the first season they start having Chris die in most episodes and every time it's funny.For the second season,Chris moved into the garage of Bill Murray's brother and his parents only make a couple appearances after that.But the weirdest change they made is when Chris' best friend leaves his wife and she becomes the co-star of the series, even though her and Chris hate each other and she was barely in the first season.And it worked!This is by far one of the best TV shows ever.If you read this go find everything by Chris, Eagleheart, Cabin Boy, old Letterman clips, whatever you can find.You won't regret it.

I can't believe this didn't last longer than two seasons. It was like a live action cartoon and way funnier than that crap Family Guy! Chris Elliot and Brian Doyle Murray made one helluva comedy duo.My favorite episode was when Chris discovered the alien in his yard and they ended up eating it! Whenever I bring up Get a Life, that's always the first episode discussed.Another favorite was the episode where Chris makes his own time travel drink to stop Gus from urinating on his boss!I wish someone would release the whole series on DVD instead of making everyone have to deal with the internet extortionists wanting an arm and a leg for two out of print volumes.

I had the opportunity to work on the TV series "Get A Life" over at Sunset-Gower Studios as a Production Assistant to the Cinematographer in the first season. I admit I'm biased because of this but I still think the show was hilarious! Chris is a great person to work with and his Dad is very funny and the nicest guy you could meet! One of my favorite episodes is the haunted house episode because of the blood coming out of the walls. Chris cries, "Oh no the walls are bleeding, I hate that!" It stands out for me because I was one of three people standing behind the set pouring the blood! If you've seen the show you probably remember that Sam Robards's played Chris's best friend on the show. I remember he was living in Colorado at the time and would fly in every week for filming. One time we got into an intense conversation, meanwhile everyone on set is trying to find him and are yelling for him. Once they found out what happened to him we both got chewed out by the Exec. Prod. David Mirkin (who went on to the Simpson's). Sam, like everyone else (cast and crew), was also a bright, funny guy. I had just graduated from college and this was my first job and I remember it fondly. I was very fortunate to start out with such wonderful people on such a funny show!

Chris Eliot is a comic genius. I wish they would release this whole series on dvd. It was the funniest show next to the simpsons when it was on. My favorite episodes were the father/son american gladiators, the toolbelt wars, and handsome boy modeling school.
