Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a 1986 comedy film written and directed by John Hughes and produced by Arnon Milchan. It stars Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jeffrey Jones and Jennifer Grey. The film was released by Paramount Pictures on June 11, 1986. It was one of the earliest films in the U.S. to receive a "PG-13" rating; it was rated "15" in the U.K.
The film follows high school senior Ferris Bueller (Broderick), who, one spring day, decides to skip school and spend the day in downtown Chicago with his friend Cameron Frye (Ruck) and girlfriend Sloane Peterson (Sara) while creatively avoiding his school principal, his jealous sister, and his parents. Bueller frequently "breaks the fourth wall" to explain to the audience his techniques and thoughts.
It is regarded as one of the best comedies of the 1980s and is often referred to as a classic—influencing many American high school comedies of the late 80s and 90s.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose is an early 1990s comedy television series that was strongly influenced by the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
It originally aired on the Fox network from September 1990 to June 1993 (three seasons, 73 episodes), the last season sporting the simpler title Parker Lewis. The show depicts the tribulations of the title character Parker Lewis, a Santo Domingo High School student, and his friends Jerry and Mikey.
The TV spinoff Ferris Bueller, which was directly based on Ferris Bueller's Day Off, debuted on NBC during the same month, but it only lasted 13 episodes. Parker Lewis Can't Lose actually had lower ratings, but the Fox Network was still in its early years and had lower expectations.

I liked the TV Ferris Beuller which starred Charlie Schlatter better (very short lived sitcom).....though Parker Lewis was good I'm pretty sure that I only saw it once or twice.

If Ferris was a weekly series Parker would probably be better, but Ferris Bueller takes it. Synchronize Swatches!

Both were pretty good. But there was nothing like cutting school and trying to replicate what Ferris did!
