Marvel at Chris meeting Spewey (Special Person Entering the World, Egg Yolks) !

Laugh at Chris enrolling at Handsome Boy Modelling School !

Cheer when Chris destroys Paperboy 2000 !

Sob gargantuan tears when Chris takes on a gang of misfits !

Tremble when Chris takes care of a haunted house for the evening ("No TV, no radio - is that legal?") !

Classic television. They only made 35 of these, people.

"What's the matter, Chris? Make a new friend on the teen chat-line?"

Genius.

Unfortunately I started to watch this show just as it was close to being pulled off the air. Saw a few goodies, and ended up only taping the one episode where Chris dreams of being a food inspector...the entire "what really goes on in the kitchen" sequence was hilarious.

Still waiting for the damned DVD set!!!!

I am immensely interested in obtaining complete collection of 'get a life' to my personal library. As a 4th grader, I did manage to record a few episodes but since you are offering the prospect, I will take you up on the notion. I would gladly give you vcds, video cassettes and some cash if you want to cement a transaction, but if you do not wish to do this, I understand.

you can email me at nickstrudel123@yahoo.com and we can discuss it from there.

I agree, best show ever.

The line I always remember, which I think aummarizes the entire show and its genius, is when Chris is standing in front of a door and says "ok how do you open this part of the wall again?"
