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.

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.

Guess they thought they were being daring by attacking the original movie after Hughes tried to shut it down. Making him a mean-spirited jerk was bad enough, but slicing that cut out was the nail in the coffin for this piece of garbage TV show. That youtube clip brought back a lot of bad memories.

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

I love the fact that TV Ferris has Sisters of Mercy and Cabaret Voltaire posters in his bedroom. 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.
