Get a Life (1990–1992)
9/10
Comic Gold even after all of these years
28 November 2020
I grew up watching this as it came on in the same time slot as my other fave show, Parker Lewis Can't Lose. I absolutely loved Chris's humor whether dark or slapstick and his dad and Eleanor Donahue were spot on as his retired, loosely-caring parents. Probably my favorite episode is Neptune 2000 followed closely by Camping 2000. My parents used to ground me from watching it when I got into trouble but thanks to the magic of best friends and VCRs, I would just go over to his house and we would roll around laughing at the show. Due to release and copyright issues it was very hard to get ahold of and they only released the first season afaik. I ended up having to torrent season 2 after years of pleading to release it so I could buy it. Glad to see Chris is still making us laugh on Schitts Creek like he did on his Letterman appearances and Get A Life. Granted, the show will probably not be liked by everyone but I hope folks can look past the low cost sets and laugh track and enjoy the silliness. Keep up the great work, Mr. Elliot, and thank you for keeping me laughing and learning about comedy throughout my awkward teen years on through to adulthood :)
