The Show 'Parker Lewis Can't Lose'
The series depicts the tribulations of the title character Parker Lewis, a Santo Domingo High School student, for whom nothing is impossible. Just like his best buds Jerry Steiner and Mikey Randall and his girlfriend Annie Sloan, his prime concern is achieving and maintaining coolness during the turbulent years of puberty. However, their efforts keep being thwarted by Parker's little sister, Shelly, and principal Grace Musso. Apart from various aspects of teenage life, embedded in a surreal, living-cartoon-like quality and the clever camera angles and filming techniques, an episode regularly contains more or less subtle references to movies, politics, and celebrities. The surrealism was toned down in the series' final season.
Parker Lewis Can't Lose was a spinoff of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the series aired on the Fox network for 3 seasons (September 1990 to June 1993) making a total of 73 episodes. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment currently holds the rights to the series and has no plans to release it on DVD although it is one of Sony's most requested TV titles for release

The Character
Parker Lewis was a smart guy with a penchant for garish shirts. He usually has a plan up his sleeve, and they in turn usually involve outsmarting someone else. Parker is famous for his catch phrase, "not a problem," which he often says when faced with trouble. In the final season, Parker finally settled down with one girl, Annie, and he seemed more mature and less reliant on his "not a problem" attitude.
