The first two seasons had an entertaining cast, great humour and were enjoyable to watch. For Season 3 they changed the formula a bit which made it overall the weakest but still a watchable and mostly entertaining season. The show isThe first two seasons had an entertaining cast, great humour and were enjoyable to watch. For Season 3 they changed the formula a bit which made it overall the weakest but still a watchable and mostly entertaining season. The show is influenced by “Ferries Buellers Day Off”. The show itself influenced many other TV shows. The surrealism elements this show created were also used by Ally Mc Beal and of cause by Scrubs. What made this show so good? The humour in combination with the actors. You had the trio of Parker Lewis (Corin Nemec) the cool guy, then Michael Randell (Billy Jayne) a rebel without (?) cause and Jerry Steiner a nerd and the brains. All of these are stereotypes but done well and in an entertaining way that bring a smile on your face. They work well together and are nearly unbeatable as a team. Then you have the supporting cast: Principal Grace Musso (Melanie Chartoff) who is feared by all and be the nemesis of the trio. She is a force to be recogniced. Then a favourite Lawrence (Larry) Kubiac played by Abraham Benrubi the loveable serotype of a bully / football player with a small brain and a hearth of gold he can not show because of expectations. He is also smarter than you think. There is of cause Franklin Lemmer the lap dog or better described the bloodhound of Miss Musso. He was often the adversary of the trio and was missed in season 3. There were a lot of running gags: Jerry while still a student was so smart that the NASA asked him for help on a regular basis and his coat had so many functions and tools that even Tony Stark would be impressed (Some will say humiliated). When Larry Kubiac appears there will always be small earthquakes and he had the catch phrase “Eat now” where he always get food (I think some kind of fish?). For Frank Lemmer: He is often portrait as vampire, a military guy and can be summoned by Ms. Musso with a dog whistle. He can teleport to her or appear out of nowhere. His tears are like acid and can damage the floor. Ms. Musso signature move is pointing with her thumb which has a pulling effect to her target and shatters the glass window of her office door. I want also to mention the cat and dog relationship between Parker and his sister. While they fight against each other they will also protect the other while they will never admit it. I left out a lot of other characters but will say they are the same. Stereotypes given characters and depth. They got the character dynamics right. What I also like is that they often handle serious matters / problems like growing up, love, development / future goals in live and more. They got the right balance to deliver insights and make you think while still deliver humour and entertainment. Overall this was an enjoyable show and I wished that there were more seasons.… Expand
