" When I found it on Crackle, my jaw just dropped. The combination of David Faustino AND Corin Nemec? This was Spider-Man and Wolverine in a crossover. Two of my favorite childhood TV characters in one spectacular combination? This was too good to be true! This was a dozen twenty year old Japanese girls bringing a twelve-pound Snickers bar wrapped in thousand dollar bills to my house. "

DVD Review: Parker Lewis Can't Lose: The complete Second Season - Chud.com

The Nutshell

Season Two of this cult television series furthers the adventures of Parker Lewis, high schooler extraordinaire, and his best buds Mikey Randall and Jerry Steiner. Always on the run from Principal Grace Musso and her crony Frank Lemmer, they get into hijinks, eat at the Diner, and try to find love. The video quality is crap but the show is mostly enjoyable, and the set features a few reflective notes in the form of audio commentaries.

The Lowdown

When Parker Lewis Can't Lose first premiered, it was on the still in its infancy Fox Network, and ended up going head to head with constant comparison Ferris Bueller, now a network TV spinoff from the much loved John Hughes film. Bueller the TV show tanked after 13 episodes and so Parker Lewis Season Two found itself without such direct competition. Season Two is usually when a show hits its stride, and this is no exception. The smart comedic writing and inventive wide-angle camerawork, coupled with actors settling into their characters made this the best season of the oft-remembered (sometimes as a punchline) series.

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!

The Stand

A mishap at a biological weapons lab unleashes a deadly virus nicknamed "Captain Trips." As it spreads, the United States becomes a graveyard inhabited by a few isolated survivors immune to the disease. They gravitate towards either the side of good or evil, driven by vivid dreams of two rival leaders in the aftermath of the plague. Gradually, they mobillize into two opposing camps; the good folks rally around Mother Abigail in Boulder, Colorado, while the bad apples flock to demonic despot Randall Flagg in Las Vegas. Soon, the stage is set for a battle of epic proportions
