It does let you see Jennifer Aniston pre-plastic surgery, with a schnoz that's not quite Jennifer Grey pre-plastic surgery worthy.
|
I just recently made a trade for these on DVD. Yeah, they are pretty damn bad. And the annoying loud 80s synth background music doesn't help.....

The show managed to piss everyone off in the opening minutes when "Ferris" destroys a standee of Matthew Broderick saying how the movie was a bunch of crap. I never understood why they did that... we wanted to watch the show BECAUSE we liked the movie.

I remember not liking it. Parker Lewis was better. (really I just remember watching the first night with the Fresh Prince, and loving FP)
I see Jennifer Aniston was in it though, so it'd be interesting to see again. |

Really Original Desmond? I know most shows are in re-runs during the holidays, but your really scraping to the bottom of the barrel asking about a show that aired 18 years ago and only lasted 1 season. Same goes with that mini-series Merlin you asked about.
Is Australian TV really that lousy? There are thousands of better American shows (current and past) you could try watching instead if you are really that bored. |

They aired the whole series on TV Land in the late 90s and I thought it sucked.

He's going after the movie in the TV clip, but the way he talks sounds like he's trying to mimic the way Matthew Broderick talked in the movie.
It's funny, I don't find the movie overly dated...but that clip from the show is horribly dated. |
I actually liked this show the same way people like to drive by grisly car accidents and gawk. It doesn't seem like a difficult concept to pull off until you see how far off the mark the TV show is.
I do see via IMDB that there was a character named Arthur Petrelli in the show, though. I wonder if that means we can credibly say: Supercomputer spun off Ferris Bueller which spun off Heroes :lol: |
I love the fact that TV Ferris has Sisters of Mercy and Cabaret Voltaire posters in his bedroom. :lol: Because whenever I think of Ferris Bueller, I think of gothic industrial music.
|
I noticed in that clip on Youtube that Mama Patrelli (from Heroes) played Ferris' mom also.
I remember watching it originally and remember a scene where Ferris started making out with his sister. It ended up being his girlfriend in disguise or something, but I thought it was pretty wild at the time. |

Remember the movie and watched the first season of Buffy. It's been years since I've watched either. I'm curious though, are there any similarities between the movie and the tv show other than the name and the general premise (girl named Buffy slays vampires)? The movie seemed to be more of a comedy while the show was more of a drama.

Wasn't Ferris Bueller shown the same time as Parker Lewis Can't Lose? Didn't own a vcr so we watch Parker Lewis, great show, wish it was on dvd.

This show I hated but loved Parker Lewis.
