      Saved By the Bell. I've never seen Parker Lewis Can't Lose. That's a new one to me.

        Parker Lewis was kind of like Zack Moris. I don't think Parker was as cool as Zack was in his school though. They had a nerdy guy that was the equivelent of Screech, and a cool friend who was sort of like A.C Slater.

            I liked Parker Lewis much more. Have you ever seen the Robot Chicken sketch (Saved by the Bell meets Saw)...that's kind of how I regard Saved by the Bell.

                You were too young to remember it. It ran from 1990 to 1993 and they were not shown in reruns like Saved by the Bell.

                For me I would have to say Saved by the Bell. I guess I just watched more of it and remember it more.

                  I never heard of it either, it looks good though. I like Saved by the Bell, but I always thought the set and filming looked too fake. This shows seems a bit more realistic.

                  I was looking at the wiki page for Parker Lewis and was surprised to find out there was a Ferris Bueller tv show that only lasted a season!

                  On a side note this is why I love and still come to RJ. You learn about great stuff that's old even if it's new to you.

                    Parker Lewis because it was funnier to me.

                    It was a Ferris Bueller knockoff show.

                    Seriously my 3rd grade class's obsession with Saved by the Bell totally turned me off of that show. It not that it liked it much before the 3rd grade anyway.

                      I really liked Parker Lewis I wasn't really much of a Saved by the Bell fan. The principal and her snapping sounded finger. :lol: One episode I reeeallly recall was when the geek friend got pulled into some other dimension where kids (I'm assuming) went if they had really low self esteem. This fire beathing football player would take you there :lol: that was the way I understood it when I was kid. I could be wrong. Another episode were everyone got locked in the local diner but that big guy that always refered to himself in third person ate all the food. :lol: it was a good show.

                        No contest. Parker Lewis is one of my favorite shows and is a 1000 times better than saved by a bell.

                            I remember Parker Lewis aired on Fox, usually on the same night as the Simpsons. Re-runs of the show aired on the USA Network. The principal played by Melanie Chartoff who was also the voice of Didi Pickles on Rugrats had a cool thumb swoosh that always broke the glass. Another thing cool about Parker Lewis was the mellow sounding theme song.

                                This is kind of a strange comparison. Although the two shows are SOMEWHAT similar...

                                "Parker Lewis" was more or less supposed to be an off-shoot of Ferris Bueller (completely unrelated, just roughly based on a similar storyline).

                                Around the same time, NBC came out with "Ferris Bueller". That only lasted around 13-weeks, and then quickly got canceled while Parker Lewis lived on for 3-full seasons (either because Fox just was desperate for any shows it could keep, or it was getting decent ratings... I don't know).

                                  Honestly I don't even remember Parker Lewis, so based off that alone, I have to go with Saved by the Bell.

                                    I'm surprised that alot of people on here never heard of Parker Lewis Can't lose. It's probably because they never show re-runs or anything. I think it's one of the coolest shows I've ever seen. If You've never seen it, I strongly reccomend checking out seasons 1 and 2. Trust me, they are awesome.

                                        "YEA" I'm really surpised about this to how alot of people haven't heard of Parker Lewis "wow". If I'm not mistaken you were able to watch episodes on HULU but now they've done the whole Plus thing so no you have to pay. But if memory serves they have all three seasons on there.
