Parker Lewis Can’t Lose was cancelled after three seasons in 1993, but why?
25 years after the teen sitcom’s demise, co-creators Clyde Phillips and Lon Diamond have shared their take with THR:
DIAMOND It was Fox looking a bit to broaden the audience, get more adult. It fit in great in Fox in the beginning, but they were kind of metamorphosizing into more CW-ish …
PHILLIPS As the show evolved, and the network also evolved, we just weren’t evolving in the same way.
DIAMOND Today, with all the channels and sources, it would be on a network that would have a dedicated fit like that. You can see its progeny on Nickelodeon in some ways. And Disney.
Are you a Parker Lewis Can’t Lose fan? Would you watch a Parker Lewis Can’t Lose revival, reboot or spinoff series?
