The Professor Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 Does anybody remember Parker Lewis Can't Lose? I used to think this show was awesome! It was a television take-off of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Parker was a high school student who was always getting into - and then out of, whatever adventure/trouble he and his friends could find each week. Parker had a cool but less-brilliant best friend named Mikey, and a nerdy underclassman friend named Jerry Steiner who played a role similar to that of "Q" in the James Bond films. Their arch-nemesis? None other than Principal Grace "Mussolini" Musso. Parker Lewis Can't Lose aired from 1990 to 1993 and was one of the first popular shows on Fox, airing alongside Simpsons, Tracey Ullman, Married With Children, and In Living Color. Here's a look at the first episode, with Milla Jovovich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBFTDKyw7Qs
greenween Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 I loved Parker Lewis Can't Lose!! Way better than the Ferris Bueller tv show. "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."
The Professor Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Posted September 12, 2014 Oh absolutely. The Ferris Bueller TV show had Jennifer Aniston.. but it didn't have the real Ferris that people wanted and expected. Parker Lewis was a whole new thing. There's only one Ferris and only one Parker. Parker Lewis won out because it was hands-down the better show!
