Parker Lewis Can't Lose was a high school sitcom that aired on Fox from 1990-1993. The show centered around Parker Lewis (Corin Nemec), a high school student who, along with his friends Mikey Randall (William Jayne) and Jerry Steiner (Troy Slaten), navigated the ups and downs of adolescence. The show was known for its fast-paced, absurdist humor and pop culture references.

Parker Lewis was the quintessential '90s teenager, dressed in bright colors, sporting a huge grin, and always ready with a quip. He was clever and resourceful, always coming up with creative solutions to the problems that he and his friends faced. Mikey and Jerry were Parker's loyal sidekicks, always willing to go along with his schemes and antics. Together, the three of them made an unstoppable team.

Parker's home life was a source of comedy as well. His mother, played by Melanie Chartoff, was an overbearing control freak who was constantly meddling in his affairs. His younger sister Shelly, played by Maia Brewton, was precocious and always finding ways to torment Parker. Finally, there was his best friend, Bull (Abraham Benrubi), a towering behemoth with a heart of gold who was never far from Parker's side.

One of the hallmarks of Parker Lewis Can't Lose was its use of visual gags and clever editing. The show was known for its montages, quick cuts, and creative transitions. Parker would often break the fourth wall and speak directly to the audience, revealing his inner thoughts and plans. The show was also known for its musical numbers, which were always performed with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Despite its zany humor, Parker Lewis Can't Lose also tackled serious issues such as drugs, peer pressure, and relationships. Parker and his friends faced these challenges head-on, always learning valuable lessons along the way. The show was a reflection of the times in which it aired, capturing the spirit and energy of the '90s.

One of the highlights of the show was its cast of colorful characters. John Pinette played the lovable gym teacher, Coach Hank Kohler, who was always trying to get the students to exercise. The school principal, Grace Musso, was played by Gail O'Grady, who managed to be both stern and empathetic. Finally, there was Ms. Musso's assistant, Anita Warrell, played by Ann Cusack, who had a bizarre obsession with her stapler.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose was a cult classic during its original run, and it remains beloved by fans to this day. The show was canceled after only three seasons, but it left an indelible mark on the world of television. Its fast-paced humor and inventive visuals influenced countless shows that would come after it, and its characters and catchphrases have become iconic. In the end, Parker Lewis may have lost his show, but he will never lose his place in television history.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (73 episodes). The series first aired on September 2, 1990.
