* DuelingWorks: With the TV adaptation of ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''. Both shows premiered just over a week apart from each other and were directly compared by critics, with ''Parker Lewis'' usually declared the better show. ''Parker Lewis'' ultimately won quite handily, lasting three seasons and generally being well-remembered. The TV ''Ferris'' got poor reviews, only lasted 13 episodes, and is largely obscure.
