ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Syl I still can't believe that I haven't seen this show since it's cancellation. Corin Nemec was known for his role as Steven Stayner in a made for television film about the Stayner abduction and life. Corin displays his acting ability here to show his range can be comedy. The show only lasted a couple of seasons on Fox when it was innovative, new, and fresh. Now, I crave for shows like Parker Lewis Can't Lose to return again to television. His supporting cast wasn't forgettable neither but it was lightened side of adolescent life. Too bad, it hasn't come out on DVD. I bet it would be a hit all over again. I remember that it didn't have a studio audience which I thought was different from a sitcom standard.

Webslinger48 Well, since you're reading this you probably are already quite familiar with "Parker Lewis Can't Lose," and like me, you're probably wondering when the heck this show is coming out on DVD. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment owns the rights to this show, and have shown how completely out-of-touch they are but not releasing it.I have fond memories of watching this show with my family on Sunday evenings on Fox. It first aired in September of 1990, and where I lived in San Francisco it was on at 7:30 right before The Simpsons. Not only was it one of the Fox Network's early hits, but even now it holds up as a high-quality show of uncommon intelligence and humor. It also was a trailblazer in a sense, being one of the few high school-based programs airing during prime time in 1990 (pre-dating Beverly Hills 90210 by a month). The story lines were inventive, the casting pitch-perfect, and the editing and camera movements creative, enhancing the whimsical and quirky nature of the show.It sure would be great to watch some of these episodes in pristine DVD quality with commentary from the creators of the show. I'd wager that tens of thousands of fans that would gladly fork over $40+ for a season one DVD set (the best season in my opinion). In the meantime, all we can do is google "parker lewis can't lose DVD for sale," to buy poor-quality bootlegs to satisfy our joneses. It's a shame that in an era when studios are constantly grousing about DVD piracy, they add to it by not realizing the substantial markets that exist for programs they own.

gemseele I have only fond memories of this show and for me it set the standard for teen comedies when it was running. The later competing Ferris Beuller show didn't hold a candle to it. The site-gags were well done, the cheeziness of the show was an asset, not a liability, and it was consistently witty and clever; the likes of which hadn't really been equalled until the Buffy series arrived on the scene many years later.Still, I have yet to find this in any video or DVD form. I'd really like to watch the series again (as would my then-college roommate when the series came out). It was a sleeper and still has a semi-cult following. It's a shame that it is yet another common example of good series' that keep falling victim to TV execs who only care about dumbed down franchise material and instant gratification.What's the hold up folks? Put out the DVD boxed set now!!!!

Leila This show is so hilarious. It's a really fun show, the characters are cool, and I long for the day that it returns to syndicated television. If you love early 90s pop culture references, wacky situational comedies, light-hearted humor with an optimistic and fresh feel, then this is the show for you.
