Summary: Get A Life DVD Review: GRADE: A
Review: "Get A Life" - If you love moronic comedy, this DVD is for you. I was a big fan of the TV show and I was floored when I heard it was coming out on DVD. The episodes are so funny! I mean watching "Spewey and Me", I felt I was going to bust a gut. "Get A Life". It's moronic humor at its best. As for the DVD extras, with a TV show DVD, there isn't much on it. Well there are Never-Before-Seen Bonus footage and an alternate audio version without a laugh track (but it's good to have that one on), the 4 uncut episodes, I wonder if they mean that there are no commercials. I don't know. If you loved the show, you will give it an A which I did. If you thought this show was quite daft, you wouldn't give it an A and score this DVD low. I score it a B-, A because I always liked the show and a C- for not many extras but what can you expect. Rhino did a great job at releasing this DVD. Hmmm....I thought maybe they can fit five or 6 episodes but 4 is good for now. Also, the DVD is not expensive. Love "Get a Life"? Then purchase it on DVD!

Summary: Be Fooled.
Review: Be fooled into thinking that Chris is not a comic genius. Be fooled into thinking that the writing was less than cutting edge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny is as funny does.
Review: Chris Elliot's GET A LIFE was one of the funniest tv series of all time. I always get a laugh when I watch this dvd. Some episodes aren't as well executed as they might have been, but even the less accomplished of the stories still generate a lot of healthy laughs. The humor depends on the surrealistic world in which the stories operate, and you never know what's coming from the folk who wrote this show. This dvd, and the subsequent releases, get my highest recommendation.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious but NOT ENOUGH
Review: Chris Elliott is a real loser -- a paperboy who lives in his parents' garage and .... well, isn't that enough? Each week for almost a month he'd get himself into some silly predicament because his vision of the world was so weirdly skewed. Like scratching $60 together so he can enroll in the Pretty Boy Modelling School, or falling in love with the woman who runs over him, or finding the most disgusting alien ever to set foot in our atmosphere. The supporting cast is great, and the scripts are quite funny.

There is absolutely nothing extra here except one longish uncut scene. You may also view the episodes with the original audio or without a laugh track.

It's great to see this very funny though short-lived sitcom available on dvd.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Great Show, Bad DVD
Review: Don't get me wrong, Get A Life was a great show and I am glad to see it on DVD. My complaint is the way it was handled. This "Volume 1" contains episodes from both the first and second season. I would have much rather the first four episodes of the show rather than just random episodes from both seasons. Also this DVD provided very little extras. It isn't like Chris Elliot is that busy that he couldn't have stopped by for some commentary or something on the show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Funniest Moments On Television!
Review: Even though I have all 35 episodes on tape, this DVD is a must have. This show was way ahead of its time and Chris Elliot is a comic genius! I remember when this show aired on Sunday nights the next day the whole office would be talking about it. I have watched these episodes countless times and you can't help but still laugh. My only complaint is that all 35 episodes should be on DVD by now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just goes to show you...
Review: Ever since Chris Elliot left Letterman, that show has gone down the tubes. I gotta go...I'm on my way to Blockbuster to rent "Cabin Boy".

Cheers.
