Love this series!,
This review is from: Parker Lewis Can'T Lose S1 (DVD)
I really enjoyed this series when it first came out and I was so glad when it was issued on DVD. As to the picture quality, I had no problems whatsoever, I ordered my DVD set in March 2011 and maybe they reissued the set since the initial release and improved the quality - don't know (actually the quality wasn't that bad).Anyway if you enjoyed Parker growing up get this DVD set! highly recommended.

Not the best quality video,

This review is from: Parker Lewis Can'T Lose S1 (DVD)
As happy as I am to find this series on DVD, I'm disappointed in the video quality. I'm not sure if it would have affected my decision to buy if I had known in advance how poor the visual quality is - but be forewarned - it doesn't look as clear and crisp as you might hope. I'm not going to be buying the other seasons until I hear the quality and clarity has improved.

Probably the best show never released on dvd...IS BEING RELEASED ON DVD!!!,
By Daniel Sweeney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parker Lewis Can'T Lose S1 (DVD)
I have fond memories of watching Parker Lewis Can't Lose with my family on Sunday evenings on Fox back in 1990 when it first aired, and we all enjoyed it. Where I lived in San Francisco it was on at 7:30 right before The Simpsons and lasted for three seasons.It may be nearly 20 years after the fact, but even now it holds up as a high-quality show of uncommon intelligence and humor, and is notable for being one of the Fox Network's early hits. Besides inventive storylines and a light, humorous touch, Parker and his buds are memorable characters, and the casting is pitch-perfect. The editing and camera movements are creative, enhancing the whimsical and quirky nature of the show. And I, for one, appreciate the fact that this show is somewhat of a time capsule of early-90s clothing and styles. I was in high school when this show was on, and it reminds me of those days more than a little bit. The 26 Season One episodes are hands-down the best in my opinion, and hopefully this set will sell like hotcakes thus necessitating a Season Two release. The abbreviated Season Three (only 22 episodes) is a different story, however. It is notorious in tv history as being a classic "shark-jumper"--at the behest of the producer, it changed its name to "Parker Lewis" (losing the "Can't Lose" moniker) and became more of a vanilla after-school-special type program no longer resembling the irreverent show of the first two seasons. Here are the 26 Season One episodes in broadcast order: 1. Pilot (9/2/90) 2. Operation Kubiak (9/9/90) 3. Power Play (9/16/90) 4. Parker Lewis Must Lose (9/23/90) 5. Close, But No Guitar (9/30/90) 6. G.A.G. Dance (10/7/90) 7. Love's a Beast (10/14/90) 8. Saving Grace (10/21/90) 9. Musso & Frank (10/28/90) 10. Deja Dudes (11/4/90) 11. Radio Free Flamingo (11/15/90) 12. Science Fair (11/18/90) 13. Teacher, Teacher (12/2/90) 14. Rent-a-Kube (12/16/90) 15. Heather the Class (1/13/91) 16. Jerry: Portrait of a Video Junkie (2/3/91) 17. Splendor in the Class (2/10/91) 18. The Human Grace (2/17/91) 19. Citizen Kube (2/24/91) 20. Randall Without a Cause (3/10/91) 21. Jerry's First Date (3/24/91) 22. Against the Norm (4/7/91) 23. King Kube (4/28/91) 24. Teens from a Mall (5/5/91) 25. My Fair Shelly (5/12/91) 26. Parker Lewis Can't Win (5/19/91) 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful

At long last!!!,
By Degrassirules "degrassidaria" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parker Lewis Can'T Lose S1 (DVD)
At long last, Parker Lewis is finally coming to DVD! This truly is one of the best shows ever broadcast on TV and it's one of the mysteries (and injustices) of the universe that Screech from Saved by the Bell gets a DVD release but quality like Parker Lewis (and Midnight Caller) have to endure fan petitions to get a well-deserved DVD release. Now let's keep the pressure on for seasons 2 and 3 to be on DVD!

AS GOOD AS IT GETS,
By Barrington HOLIDAY - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parker Lewis Can'T Lose S1 (DVD)
I gotta say, AT LAST!!! This is the premier and best sitcom of American Television along with Malcolm in the Middle. If you've not seen it yet, prepare to get hooked - this show is extremely addictive. Parker Lewis - a High School genius, not by books; but by creativity has a way out of every situation he gets himself into thanks to the "Musso excuse files" kept safely hidden on a football sized rolodex in Steiner overcoat. Meanwhile Mikey, has the knack for finding trouble, actually they all do; the 3 Tenors of high school sheningans and pranks. The principle Grace Musso, and her able assistant Frank Lemmer - who's official title as Special Obedience Helper steal nearly every scene. This is the show to escape into non-reality and just enjoy yourself. No big message here, just straight up entertainment. The cast is classic casting, everyone here belongs on this show and you will learn all about everyone important to the cast in the very first episode. And you will immediately be hooked. But the biggest star of this comedy series wasn't the cast, it was the special affects. This show was so ahead of it's time, the sounds and visuals, strange camara angles, Musso's "unopposeable thumb," the sound of Kubiaks 300 pounds walking thru the hallways of Santo Domingo High; nothing I write here will do justice for the genius of creativity this show had. But don't take my word for it, see it for yourself, and like so many of us who have waited long overdue, you will be hooked, and you too will realize this is as good as it gets.
