Get A Life Vol. 2
Why buy a collection of episodes from a TV series that lasted a mere two  low-rated seasons? BecauseGet a Lifewas so far ahead of its time, TV  still hasn't completely caught up yet. Chris Elliott, TV's original jackass,  stars as Chris Peterson, a 30-year-old paperboy who still lives with his  bathrobed and perpetually embarrassed parents (the venerable Bob Elliott and  Elinor Donahue, who was "Princess" onFather Knows Best). The first  slacker sitcom subverts conventions with its unapologetically obnoxious and  delusional lead character in this well-chosen quartet of episodes. Chris  auditions for a local theatre production, "Zoo Animals on Wheels." In "Married,"  he meets, marries, cheats on, and divorces a model all in one day. He is a fish  out of water in "The Big City," and a man stuck with his father in a two-man sub  lodged in his own bathtub in "Neptune 2000." Since its 1992 cancellation,Get  a Lifehas taken on a life of its own, its legend perhaps enhanced by the  fact that it has not been widely syndicated. For devoted fans, this collection  is the next best thing to aGet a Lifereunion (don't hold your breath).--Donald Liebenson
