The boneheaded travails of Chris Peterson, man-child paperboy, were ahead of their time when Fox ran the subversively smart/stupid sitcom ''Get a Life.'' Now, in a post-Farrelly brothers world, Elliott's witty buffoonery is practically mainstream. Four more loopy episodes are in this set, including the classic Andrew Lloyd Webber parody ''Zoo Animals on Wheels,'' not to mention Chris' still-surreal trip to ''The Big City,'' where the naif is robbed in a generic '40s-style burg and gains acclaim as ''Walletboy.'' Okay, mainstream may still be a leap for that one.
