Parker Lewis Can't Lose: The Complete Second Season

Ah, those early Fox network sitcoms. They were every one a trip and some of them - The Simpsons, The Tracy Ullman Show, Get A Life, Herman's Head - were actually pretty darn good.

This was a desperate cobbled together network with big dreams and low budgets. They didn't know what would work so they tried anything. Hence the creation of Parker Lewis Can't Lose, a blatant new wave rip off of Ferris Bueller's Day Off (a movie that debuted 4 years earlier and came to define the 1980s) with beautifully coifed teens navigating their fashion victimized, neon infused existence in a buoyant search for a life with meaning.

The show screams 1980s although it debuted in 1990 (TV is always a few years behind fashion). Isn't it almost time for teased, dyed, bouffant hairdos on guys to make a comeback? And those bright, silly designer shirts buttoned to the top button that no guy would be caught dead in today? They're on full display here in this now quaint little comedy, a percolating frothy brew that tries hard to please and does.

I missed this one the first time around mostly because of the show's derivative nature - that was apparently toned down during this second season. There's even a dark undertow to some storylines that make this particular teen sitcom better than most, look for Sonny Bono as a con man in episode 6 for one example.

Shows like Scrubs owe a lot to this production, their ripping scene cuts and snarky camera asides can be traced right back to 1990. I can easily see aficionados will be thrilled with Parker Lewis' return and the series just might earn some new fans on DVD.

Cast & crew audio commentaries on several episodes are also included in this 4 DVD collection.
