DVD Review: Parker Lewis Can't Lose - The Complete First Season - BlogCritics

Star-ving

Having been screwed out of “Married ... with Children” residuals by his convalescent manager, David “Bud Bundy” Faustino is now a pathetic, washed-up porn store proprietor.  Star-ving follows his attempt at regaining stardom.  Bringing along his old buddy, Corin Nemec (“Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”), Faustino gets attacked by an angry black mob, reunites with his “Married ... with Children” cast members, kidnaps Alan Thicke, steals money from Coolio, and kills Gilbert Gottfried’s 34-year-old mentally challenged son - all to get back into the Hollywood game.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose

For most teenagers, high school is filled with obstacles nearly impossible to traverse. But then there is Parker Lewis (Corin Nemec), the one teenager able to overcome any barrier with the use of his wits and the help of his best buds, rock n roller Mikey (William Jayne) and their quintessential nerd assistant Jerry (Troy Slaten). Of course, that does not mean Principal Grace Musso (Melanie Chartoff) will give up her attempts to foil the Buds' plans to maintain total coolness!

RoboDoc

Sleazy lawyers and heartless insurance companies are only a few of those spoofed in this Airplane!-esque send up of modern healthcare, as a high tech efficiency initiative is taken to hilarious lengths. Plagued by uninsured patients, greedy insurance companies and indifferent staff, North Mercy ("No Mercy") Hospital is on the verge of total collapse. To cut costs and malpractice suits, R.I.P Healthcare introduces MD 63 (a.k.a. Robo-Doc), a robotic doctor that can't make a mistake. An overzealous malpractice lawyer sees Robodoc as a threat to his livelihood, and joins forces with greedy, golf obsessed Dr. Callaby (Corin Nemec) in a plot to see Robodoc crushed into a tin can.
