Wake N' Watch Wake N’ Watch: “Parker Lewis” Meets Kool Moe Dee & Ziggy Marley
Granted, it was a pretty blatant Ferris Bueller rip off, but is it possible that Parker Lewis Can’t Lose was even cooler than Matthew Broderick’s iconic ’80s movie? This sitcom debuted on Fox in 1990, and in this clip from the first season, Parker Lewis (played by Corin Nemec) is faced with the challenge of convincing his best friend to come back to high school after dropping out to be a rock star.
