Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Bill357 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.

S.R. Dipaling I loved this show! FOX television,while a fairly savvy network through much of its run since 1990,seemed to be un-in-love with this show from about the first three or four episodes on and it could be seen as a minor miracle that they even bothered to retain it for a second year! As such,they still dealt it pretty harshly,moving it from the high profile Sunday night slot it debuted in to the easily ignored Saturday mid-evening slot. Needless to say,the ratings would drop and it gave FOX all the excuse it needed to officially dump the show at last.Chris Elliott's charm(or lack thereof)and grotesque goofiness was honed on David Letterman's NBC show through the 1980s,and is plugged into this wildly drawn premise of an overgrown paperboy. I felt it applied perfectly,brilliantly in this show. Great supporting turns by(among others)Bob Elliott(Chris' dad and accomplished comedian in his own right),Elinor Donahue,Robin Riker and Brian Doyle-Murray made this show fitfully funny and completely lacking sentimentality or schmaltz.I hope this show makes it to DVD(preferably sooner than later),assuming it hasn't already. I'd love to get reacquainted with these shows,and I imagine I'm not alone on this.

blackarachnia2 I don't really know why I'm bothering to comment on this show but I do know that this was one of Fox's most underrated shows. To look at Chris and Bob Elliott you'd never know that the two were even related. I think that they made a pretty dynamic duo. Chris and Bob both had such great chemistry on the small screen. I really enjoyed Get A Life but it's just too bad that the show was canceled after only 2 seasons.The people who were in Get A Life were funny and witty but there was just something about the chemistry between Bob and Chris that really appealed to me. A father/son duo who were out to prove that they could be just as funny as the rest of them could. :)

William (wmattifo) A lot of television humor is recycled from past shows, or just the same theme over and over again. I won't go into examples, but I think you understand what I'm saying. This show, however, was original and showed the world that Chris Elliot is a brilliant comedian. Does anyone remember that Elliot got his start on "David Letterman" on NBC as the "Conspiracy guy", who would stand up in the audience, interrupt the show, and accuse Letterman of some "cover-up" involving missing files and Connie Chung? Then he would run through a door and get run over (usually by a floor buffer). "Get a Life" was very funny and quite original. I guess my favorite episode was the one where the alien Chris found would ooze out some vile, and disgusting stuff out of his body, and Chris ate it. He got Brian Doyle-Murray to eat some, too. They said it tasted like pudding. The alien seemed disgusted that they were eating the stuff, too. I really liked this show and I wish Fox had kept it on longer.
