Please don't spend money on this.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Had a hard time picking this one up from a brick and mortar (Best Buy, Fry's, Wal-Turd) but was able to find that I could order it on-line and have it within a week. Well, that just wouldn't do seeing as I was weeks in the planning of a Season 2 Marathon on my day off with several friends. After much wasted gas, I decided to contact the Shout! Factory web page and found an independent store that had a copy in for sale. Needless to say, I came home happy and Lewis Fat. Thank God for Waterloo in Austin. Ten bucks beneath MSRP. Got Season 2 on DVD and the Marathon with friends is not compromised. Now for a slight review: Its kind of strange. Watching it on my 25 year old analog TV on the patio, I find that I enjoy the video quality much more than on my Sony Bravia 56 inch 1080p TV. Yeah, I know why but it makes me wonder when (if ever) we will see Blu Ray versions of these. It should look better on this TV. Blu Ray would, well, you know. The audio in the Bose Speaker / Denon Receiver is great as it is set up for 2.0 just fine. As far as the typical hijinx of the buds and the rest of the crew, its business as usual. I dig it and am glad to see the second season of this in an official release. Kudos. I hope that the Final Season of the series has a future on DVD. There are a lot of younger friends (mid 20s) that I have shown this series to in the past couple of years that absolutely dig on it like it it something new. Had a few even say that its better than anything out there now. They need to have closure as do the rest of us. I hope that Shout! sees fit to release the Final Season officially soon. Please check out their site and ask them for Season 3. Trace in Austin Taj Johnson for Freddie Mercury BioPic!!

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.

Although "Parker Lewis" was not a very long-running series, it shortly became very popular in my home country Hungary when it was bought by channel TV2. It took stock characters and stereotypes to the very limit of reality, while the creators successfully avoided clichés and kept focusing on the consistent high quality of the jokes, whether textual or visual. After multiple reruns, this show still leaves a nostalgic feeling in just about everyone who had spent their tens and twenties in the time the show was aired around Europe. The unique style and exceptionally good sitcom humour of Parker Lewis makes it one of the most outstanding comic series of the nineties. You can still hear people quoting the series and synchronizing their watches every now and then. Should it be released on DVD (as it is rumoured by an online petition), the producing Columbia Tri-Star can make sure that there will be many orders from Hungary and from Europe as a whole. Hope we get a release soon.

"Parker Lewis" was a very unusual show, and that's probably also the reason why it only lasted 3 seasons. The show revolves around the life of the main character Parker (the trendy guy), and his pals, Mikey (the cool guy), Jerry (the nerdy guy) and later on also Kubiac (the bully guy, who turned out to be all right).It's all about being a teenager, and all what comes with it, love, trouble with the parents, making choices etc. What makes the show unique is the stories, and more importantly how they are told. It's hard to explain really, but it's something out of the ordinary, and it definately worth checking out. Even though the show didn't last very long, it did help make the way for other brilliant children/young adult shows such as "Eerie Indiana" and "The Adventures of Pete and Pete".
