    The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

    All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

    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.

    What can I say "Get a Life was so Strange that it was funny. Half the episodes didn't make any kind of point, but it was funny just the same. The show was basically about a middle aged boy named Chris Peterson who had a paper route and lived with his parents, at least in the 1st season and above all else, HAD NO LIFE! The show only lasted two seasons. During the 2nd season Chris moves out of his parents house and into the basement of retired police officer, Gus who was his landlord-friend. Why FOX didn't keep the series on longer I don't understand because the show had many amusing episodes, corny but funny. I do miss this show I look back and remembered laughing my self silly watching this show every week. But, as usual FOX always cancels the good TV Shows.

    I remember back when I was 9 trying to watch this show it was the only other show besides Married with Children that my mother never really let me see. I think one reason I loved this show was that it had Chris Elliott in it I mean you can't get any funnier than Chris Elliott. I'll be honest I can't really remember all the episodes I just remember that this show was totally awesome. There was one episode that he built a submarine in his parents bathroom I mean how many children wished they could? I feel this show was so awesome because he wasn't afraid to do what parents didn't like. I just wish that they would have kept this show on for more than the two seasons it was on... Anyway its a great show all around and I applaud Chris Elliott on a great job.
