    Premise: The life of a 30-year-old paperboy who lives with his parents

Why Get a Life might be annoying:

    The show's comedy was very surreal.
    There was no continuity in the series.
    Chris died in several episodes.
    The show featured an alien that secreted banana pudding from his scales.
    Chris and Gus ate the alien in one episode.
    Later in the series, Chris moved out of his parents' house and moved in with Gus.
    It was a polarizing show, either you loved it or hated it.

Why Get a Life might not be annoying:

    The show's theme song was 'Stand' by R.E.M.
    It has a cult following.
    Chris Elliott's real father, comedian Bob Elliott, portrayed his father on the show.
    Although a lot of people didn't get the humor on the show, those who did found it to be hilarious.
