Summary: Let's Have All Episodes!
Review: "Get a Life!" is one of the great cult comedies of the 90s. I wish Fox or Rhino would release ALL episodes in a box set. There are only about 34 episodes altogether, so it could easily be done. As it is, we are getting a SNACK when we need a MEAL.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Get a Life and bring out season sets!
Review: "Get A Life" was one of the weirdest and most dementedly funny sitcoms I ever saw. It ran on Fox from September 1990 to March 1992 and totaled 35 episodes. So why oh why are they releasing 4 episode DVDs? Anyone who is going to buy a 4 episode DVD of this show is going to buy a complete season DVD set. So where is it? Anyway, fans will be pleased with "Get A Life" being released at all, but if and when the complete season 1 DVD set comes out, getting these 4 episode discs will have been a waste of money. Some people might say that a complete "Get A Life" set will never come out, but I can't remember how many times I have read that there will be no "South Park" complete season sets and now the first season is due out in November! Don't get me wrong, the contents on this "Get a Life, vol. 2" disc will be funny and deranged, but 4 episodes? What's the point? There is only 35 episodes! 22 of them make up the first season. "Mad About You" also has 22 episodes in it's first season and that's being released in October on 2 discs! How about giving "Get A Life" the same treatment and pleasing the mentally disturbed people, like myself who love this show! I'm putting my vote in for the complete collection on DVD!

Summary: A Very Funny Show
Review: As a fan of the series when it was originally on the air, I was very excited to see the show being released onto tape and DVD. Watching the DVD, "Get A Life" is even better than I remember. If you need one reason to pick up this DVD, "Zoo Animals on Wheels" is it. This is one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed in my life. Ever. You just need to trust me on this one. If the concept of a famous play based upon animals in roller skates singing horrible songs is not funny, then I don't know what is. The three other episodes are quite funny as well, but each has its weak points. Since the descriptions for the others have been posted, there is no need for me to do so. I will tell you that this show is not for all. You need to have a certain sense of humor to truly appreciate what it brings to the table. If you have ever seen the show and enjoyed it, or if you find comedies where you don't have to think, I highly recommend "Get A Life". You will not be disappointed.

Summary: HILARIOUS!
Review: Chris Elliott is one of the side-split-n-ist funny guys around!
ZOO ANIMALS ON WHEELS is BRILLIANT!!! and oddly enough, if it were a REAL show...I'd actually pay to see it!

=^..^= waiting patiently for Vol 3 to be released!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am not sure what type of comedy this is but its Great
Review: I always remembered this show for a few different reasons. Maybe because of how freaking stupid this guy was and some of the bizarre plots. I always remembered this one episode imparticular. The one where they build the submarine and put it in their bathtub. I always thought about that one whenever I would talk to someone about this show. So when I saw they were availiable I had to get them both. But the only thing wrong is they need to release all of the shows. If you like weird comedy please buy and enjoy. If you don't get yourself straightened out and watch it as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Why can't they just release a box set? !!!
Review: I bought this because there is no other viable alternative on DVD. While I enjoyed the four episodes and the bonus interview was nice, this is no replacement for a complete season/series box set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I have to agree with the other reviews. This is by far the best sit-com ever! Chris Elliot is a comic genius!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Where's all the other episodes??
Review: I have to say I am a fan of Chris Elliott and have watched him in many different shows and movies and always liked his kind of down-trodden sarcastic wit, and I think Get A Life was a great example of his odd talents in the later episodes. The earlier episodes that are available on DVD (all 8) are not really the best examples of his work. They are funny but the later episodes with "Gus", "Larry", and "Sharon" crack me up. I am tired of seeing this limited run of only a few select early episodes available through DVD, it's time to release the rest or at least a few more...I mean if shows like "Saved by the Bell" can be a box set on DVD then I think the flood gates have been opened. Release the rest of the Episodes Rhino, what are you waiting for??

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This series is GREAT!
Review: I love how they're bringing this wacky sit-com back!
It really brings back memories of my wacky humor-filled childhood.
What's confusing to fans is the first DVD, titled Vol. 1 Actually contains VHS volumes 1 and 2, so don't be confused! Rhino's just trying to clarify this with the title of this DVD as "Vol 3 and 4" and contains the VHS volumes 3 and 4. So, the DVD holds 2 VHS tapes worth of shows in case you didn't know like a previous reviewer.
Come on Rhino, keep'em coming! How about a complete box set?
