The premise of the show was Chris Peterson (played by Chris Elliott) was a "Dennis the Menace" type figure who was in his thirties but had never socially progressed past his teen years and was constantly annoying everyone around him.

The first season he lived with his parents, the second season he lived in Gus Borden's (Brian Doyle-Murray) garage.

The show was flat-out absurd and included ridiculous antics like Chris accidentally becoming a male escort and befriending an alien named Spewey who would projectile vomit when emotionally distressed. It was far beyond what Fox was willing to handle and the planned third season where Chris was a homeless drifter never came to fruition.

This show would have absolutely killed on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim which later featured another insane show starring Chris Elliott, Eagleheart. (and also featured many other actors who were also on Get A Life) It was the exact type of show that would have had a cult following on Adult Swim.

It's also worth noting, the episode where Chris becomes a male model is the source of the name of the 90's Dan the Automator and Prince Paul collaboration Handsome Boy Modeling School. Two songs on the album use audio clips directly from the episode from which they got their name:

Handsome Boy Modeling School - Look At This Face (Oh My God They're Gorgeous)

Handsome Boy Modeling School - Modeling Sucks

If it wasn't for Handsome Boy Modeling School, I'd still have sixty dollars.
