Huh?  I'm fairly certain that his radio show hadn't gone national
in 1988.  His TV show is only a few months old (since september?).
I'm not sure I see what you mean by 'his show has remained constant'.

Tonight I watched Fox's new sitcom, "Shaky Ground", not because I enjoy Fox
sitcoms as a rule (in fact GaL has been the only thing worth noting on that
network so far, aside from the Simpsons), but because I'd watch Matt Frewer
on the Home Shopping Network if he was there.  The show was somewhat better
than I feared, and of course Frewer was as funny as ever, but I also noted
with interest that Robin Riker (Chris' evil neighbor, Sharon, for those
who've forgotten already) plays Frewer's wife on the show.

I like Matt Frewer at least as much as Chris Elliott... although I wouldn't
watch Elliott for his performances alone, as I do with Frewer.  I do think
he deserves his own newsgroup, if Chris has one...

MTV News today had a piece about a new comedy which is a spoof on rap
groups.  They mentioned that Chris Elliot had a part in making it...
I phrase this that way because I don't know how exactly he is involved,
though I would guess he's acting or maybe writing.  They showed a preview
of the trailer which Chris did not appear in.  Sorry about the lack of
details, but I wasn't really paying attention until I heard Chris's name
mentioned.  Chris Roc (sp?) who is the young black guy from SNL is one of 
the leads in this movie.  

Just thought you'd like to know!!

Hi All!
I'm new to this newsgroup. This post may seem way-dated to you but I
feel I must vent:

Well, it seems that yet another of the few shows I've really enjoyed
on TV has been canceled... 
I think Get A Life (GaL) is (was?) an extraordinarily funny show. Is
it really true then? Has GaL been canceled? If so, what prompted its
cancellation? Could it be a ratings problem? Hmmmm? Why must "good"
(at least good in my view) shows be sh*t-canned just because they fail
to meet someone's scewed (to me) measure of performance? 

As far as GaL's episodic "history" goes: Does anyone know how many
episodes were aired? Is there a list of episode titles or subjects
compiled anywhere on the net? 

If GaL is still be aired somewhere, at some time during the week,
please let me know the channel, day, time, etc.

Thanks (in advance).

Except for CBS' "BOB", Fox has had about the ONLY new sitcoms worth
watching for quite a long time now, like Flying Blind and Herman's Head.
Plus with Cheers leaving, Fox will have the longest running and best
comedy show on the air: Married With Children.   Plus (of course) 
there was the exemplary ** GET A LIFE **.

I like him, and he was GREAT as Max Headroom... but I wasn't 
interested in his last series...

I was unexpectedly pretty happy with it!  This looks like a potentially good 
show.  The aerospace twist was also interesting, as long as they don't screw
it up with some dumb "technical" errors...

Now THAT was in incredibly welcome surprise!  I like her...

I doubt that Matt has the writing/comedy talents that Chris does.

It is not only one of the best shows in the history of U.S. network TV, but
it shows what a range Frewer has.  Not only did he play the wild, manic Max,
but also the straight-laced, serious Edison Carter.  Most of the roles I've
seen him in since then (the guest spots on ST:TNG and Eerie Indiana, Doctor,
Doctor and so on) he's been somewhere in between - a sort of John Astin kind
of just-slightly off center performance.
        
>Abso-fruity.  And "Doctor, Doctor" was great! 

"Hmmm... 8 letters, expression of affection... moisture!"

Classic sitcom - but like Max, perhaps a bit ahead of its time for TV.  I
hope that SG is finally a show that Frewer can succeed with, as he's an
amazing talent.

But getting back to the newsgroup topic - imagine Frewer acting in a
Chris-Elliot written show?  Hmm... it would work.  Might have to go on
cable, but it would work!

Maybe, maybe not - remember that Max Headroom began as a talk show host, and
that's entirely improv.  But, be honest, Chris is a more than adequate actor
but not in Frewer's league.  At least, I've never seen him doing anything
particularly challenging.  He's a great writer, and that's most of what
matters to me.  He's up to the demands of doing a character like Chris
Peterson, but to be blunt, that character didn't represent the toughest
performance requirements ever seen.  Chris is not known for his acting
talents, decent though they are.  Frewer is.  Frewer is not known for his
writing, decent though it may or may not be.  They're just two artists I
like for different reasons.

I don't think that point is quite fair. I wouldn't accuse Brad of a shameless
ripoff. Being cut off as I am here from any newspapers or magazines carrying
DB's columns, I was extremely happy to find out that I could actually get
the articles via e-mail.

If Brad has a vested interest, so what? He has to make a living as we all
do. And he certainly doesn't try to start Apple/Microsoft-like lawsuits
to force that down our throats.

I only fear that if you have such an "piracy"-mentality in the first place,
even The Dave himself wouldn't talk you out of it.

I don't know where these words come from, but try singing them to
the tune of "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane (the Canadian
Wilbury-Wanna-Be):

Loaduponguns andbringyourfriends it'sfuntolose andtopretend
She'soverbored andselfassured ohnoIknowadirtyword
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it.....

You get the picture.  Or you could try it to the tune of
Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly", but like any Tom Petty song, there
has to be a few bars of space between each line, like this:
Load up on guns


and bring your friends


It's fun to lose


and to pretend


I'm learning to fly






But I ain't got wings






Once again, you get the picture.  Anyway, I don't know what the
aforementioned lyrics mean, or what this article means, but if
you can make some sense out of it, enjoy it.

The Hunt was cancelled for several years due to the shear enormity of
the undertaking, but was back in stride last year, and is due for
another any time now (well, w/in a few months, anyway). Dave is
completely involved, as is Gene Weingarten, despite his other
responsibilities; after all, this is the _Hunt_.

For those who don't know, the Hunt is a series of fiendishly difficult
puzzles scattered about Miami or Coral Gables that, in combination with
that Sunday's Tropic, lead one to a specific solution, w/ a big prize
involved. Literally tens of thousands of people get involved in groups
of any number, racing and milling about. Typical puzzles have involved
counting blind mice in a crowd, decoding billboards, and figuring out
what numbers are being traced in a swimming pool by people named after
sports stars w/ numbers in their names (see how fiendishly difficult
these get?). Usually it's a matter of figuring out 1st _what_ the point
is, and then specifically which solution is correct (i.e., 1st that
you're supposed to count the mice, then what to do w/ that #). Never did
it myself (left Miami before I was old & bold enough), but it's just
unbelieveable fun.
