Well, that was weird

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_a_Life_%28TV_series%29

The show was unusual and surreal, to say the least. For example, Elliot's character actually dies in eleven episodes. The causes of death included being crushed by a giant boulder, old age, tonsillitis, stab wounds, gunshot wounds, and simply exploding. For this reason, it was a struggle for Elliott and Mirkin to get the show on the air. Many of the executives at the Fox Network hated the show and thought it was too disturbing and that Elliott's character was too insane.

One of the more controversial characters on the show was Spewey the Alien, a grotesque extra-terrestrial who secreted banana pudding from under his scales when he became emotionally overwrought. Peterson and his landlord Gus barbecued and ate Spewey at one point, although the disgusting creature was resurrected inside their refrigerator.

Paperboy 2000, the submarine in the bathtub, and the musical about animals on rollerskates always come to mind when I think of that show.

The theme song was R.E.M's "Stand", played while he was delivering newspapers.
