Summary: Better than Vol. 1
Review: The whole "Get a life" series is awesome, they need to come out with more volumes, better yet, they just need to come out with the whole series on dvd, that would be the best thing to do. I bought them both, they are both good, but I liked vol. 2 better than vol. 1. They picked funnier shows for the second one. But definetely pick them both up if you like to laugh!

Summary: brilliant
Review: There has never been a show as funny as Get a Life. It's intelligent, engaging, and borders on performance art; we are fortunate the program made it to the airwaves. Please Rhino, get the rest of the shows on DVD or video.

Summary: A Sitcom You Like to Watch Again & Again
Review: This DVD offers a rare opportunity to some of us; the diehard fans of this sitcom, which appeared on Fox Network in late 1980s and 1990s. This is one of the few funniest TV comedies ever created that did not succeed in TV ratings because it was not aired on a major network. This show is about a 30 year old paperboy who never grows up in every sense of the word. He lives with his retired parents and run into all kinds of zany, sometime off-beat antics that provides entertainment to young and old. It was quite disappointing to many of us that it did not reappear in reruns, but this DVD offers a rare opportunity to view four episodes. All episodes are funny, which offers great value for the money. Let us hope the success of this DVD may persuade producers of the show to market all episodes, and a DVD with 12 episodes is made available to all the fans.

Summary: Need more episodes on DVDs
Review: This is by far the best sitcom of TV history. I have the entire collection on VHS.. a 2nd or 3rd generation copies, which are very staticy. That's why I thought the DVD's would be a good buy. Unfortunately..they only sell 4 episodes per DVD. I would definitely buy the entire collection if they put at least 8 per DVD. I guess its more lucrative to sell more discs.

Summary: The show is great the DVD is weak
Review: This show is a blast I recorded every episode back when it was on tv. I only hoped that one day I could have them on DVD. Why do they just have a handful of random episodes on it? just make a set for season 1 and 2. I want every episode not just these selected ones! Rhino come on get it together.

Summary: Great Show; Lousy DVD
Review: This show was the best show on TV. It was like a live action cartoon -- it was funny, silly, wacky AND intelligent and satirical. It was the total opposite of all the cookie cutter sitcoms out there that make you laugh, make you cry, and then push a moral or a happy ending on you each week -- which is why only a small group of people actually understood it and enjoyed it.
The show itself gets a 5 star rating, but as for the DVD:
1.) The picture quality on my 12 year old VHS tapes is better than the DVD. The DVD looks like it was filmed through cheesecloth. 40 year old shows like The Prisoner and the Avengers look great on DVD, why can't this younger show?
2.) Only four episodes on a disc?? Rip off. Again.
3.) Bonus Features: Weak. Interview w/ the Producer/Director David Mirkin and a Cast Filmography (WOW!). At least they didn't list "Interactive Menu" as a Bonus Feature ... or did they?
4.) Rhino pushed the release date out at least twice on this one. What's the problem with getting these out???Rhino should release all the episodes, in order, all at once, in a 2 or 3 disk box set. This is such a pain. I'm glad I still have my VHS tapes. Anyhow, if you can get by the picture quality, and you truly have a sense of humor you will love watching this show.

Summary: Get A Better Transfer, Rhino
Review: This volume of "Get A Life", the hilarious early 1990's sitcom starring Chris Elliot as a 30+ year old paperboy still living with his parents, has some great episodes on it but unfortunately they are presented in what has to be one of the worst transfers I've ever seen on a DVD. Rhino Video should be ashamed for putting together such a shoddy piece of work. The images are cloudy and pixelated to such an extent that it's hard to make out any detail on some things. I've seen better digital video on the internet. Of course this doesn't cause the show to be any less funny than it is but it does make you wish that Rhino had taken a little bit of time and care to clean these shows up. The first "Get A Life" volume is of much better quality than this one. Buy only if you're a real fan of the show. Actually you might be better off just renting or purchasing the VHS version of the show if there is one. I expected better Rhino.

Summary: Getting Better
Review: Volume 2 is actually better than Volume 1. There is a well-made interview with the producer and he explained a large number of the questions I've always had about the series and many of the difficulties they encountered. Volume 1 had 4 episodes, and absolutely nothing else.
One major complaint, why all this separate volume foolishness? Just put all the episodes out on DVD and be done with it!
