" Parker Lewis Can't Lose is - after Quark and Sports Night - the sitcom I've most wanted to see released on DVD. Why? It's smart, funny, innovative and had a very 'take no prisoners' attitude that not only helped Fox establish itself as the edgier, more inventive network of the early nineties, but provided elements that have become highly influential to many of the sitcoms that came after it.

Whatever happened to bizarro fan club videos? - IFC.com

January 19 2010

That was the question I had this weekend after Cinematical unearthed "At Home with Corky Nemec," a surreal tour through the bedroom and the mind of "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" star Corin Nemec.

If you don't remember Nemec as Fox's answer to Ferris Bueller, or for the short-lived film career that followed during the early '90s (which included a role in 1994 Wesley Snipes skydiving actioner "Drop Zone"), you won't be able to forget him as a good-natured, Bob Marley-worshipping teen with his "interesting array of wax dripping over skulls" after watching a few minutes of the clip.

Nemec's still working, starring in projects like "Mansquito" and the occasional "CSI: Miami" guest spot, but fan club video is all but dead, which seems strange in the age of YouTube. (Or thoroughly understandable, considering how ridiculous many one-time teen idols appear now, rattling off their likes and dislikes in a cheaply produced appeal to fans that will be kicking around the web forever.)

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.

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
