Get a Life is a sitcom that ran on the Fox Network in the United States from September 23, 1990, to March 8, 1992. Chris Elliott plays Chris Peterson, a 30-year-old newspaper boy, on the show. Peterson lived in an apartment above the garage that his parents owned. Chris Peterson rides his bike to deliver newspapers as the show's theme song, "Stand" by R.E.M., plays in the background. Elliott, Adam Resnick, and David Mirkin, who writes and directs, came up with the idea for the show. Mirkin was the show's executive producer and showrunner, and he also made most of the episodes. Charlie Kaufman, who wrote the screenplay for "Being John Malkovich," and Bob Odenkirk, who co-created "Mr. Show with Bob and David" and "Tenacious D," were two of the show's well-known writers. The show was different from what you'd expect from a prime-time sitcom, and many of the episodes had strange plots. Elliott's character, for example, dies after twelve episodes. Some of the ways people died were by getting hit by a big rock, getting old, getting tonsillitis, getting stabbed, getting shot, falling out of an airplane, suffocating, getting run over by cars, choking on cereal, or just exploding. Because of this, Elliott and Mirkin had a hard time getting the show on the air. Many of the people in charge at the Fox Network didn't like the show because they thought it was too scary and that Elliott's character was too crazy.
