Shark Bytes

It only took a record-breaking 28 seconds for this show to jump the shark. I know a number of people have said this, but it is defintely worth repeating. You can't expect a television show based on a movie to be successful if, within the first 28 seconds, you disparge the main thing people loved about the movie, Matthew Broderick. C'mon, why was it necessary to bring out a life-size poster of Matthew B and cut off his head with a chain saw? A CHAIN SAW for cripes sake!! That was the beginning of the end. Even the dullest network executive should quickly surmise that that would immediately turn off any fan of the film. Because, honestly, who did they think was going support the first few episodes of the fledging series? Matthew B fans and fans of the movie, of course. No one is going to love the new Ferris once he bad mouths the original. It just seems ignorant and disrespectful to immediately trash the title charcater while still attempting to capitalize from his success.

nice article

Uh, do you see any requests for DVD of the "Ferris" TV show? NO. I'd buy the first two seasons of Parker without a second thought. Season 3, though, sucked.

??? I loved the movie but a TV show...

I didnt know it existed

Wow, I honestly had no idea that this TV show existed....I bet it sucked.

If you base a Television series on a Great movie it must be set in the same location. Why did they not start the charachters in their freshmen or sophmore year in High-School and build towards their senior year. In the movie, Ferris was about to graduate and get married. The series had to start long before the charachters developed their nerve to accomplish the one last day off.

I really think they should've cast Amy Dolenz as Jeanne. She looks more credible as a sibling to Charlie Schlatter. They should've also given Jennifer Aniston the role of Sloane, since Aniston has the sophistication required to play that character. And most of all, they should've kept the setting around the Great Lakes! California is so overrated!

This show was near pitch-perfect with the movie, or at least as close as a television series could ever have been. The actor who played Ferris was right on, especially when speaking to the camera. It didn't take much imagination to picture Matthew Broderick saying those lines. Cameron wasn't too bad. Aniston as Jeannie was pretty good. My only real complaint was how they completely changed the character Sloane Peterson. I think that was the show's major downfall. In the movie, she played nicely off Ferris and was someone you could picture him with. In the TV series, she was someone Matthew Broderick's Ferris would never have associated himself with. If this show jumped, it was because of Sloane. Personally, I would have liked a few more seasons.

The show surely jumped on day one. Seeing Ferris and his friends would have been a great thing, as the movie never showed Ferris in school or his natural settings. And the show's basic idea and heart was in the right place. But the show was so unbelievable (California instead of Chicago, Charlie Schlatter as Ferris, et cetera) that it didn't appeal to hardcore fans of the movie. And that was certainly the show's kiss of death from the start.

The film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was a comedy classic. Usually, a great movie almost always has a TV series follow it (case in point: "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"'s TV counterpart "Fast Times," which tanked). However, this series came 4 years after the movie's initial success. That's 4 years too late apparently. I only saw this once on TV Land about 3 years ago, and I wasn't impressed. I know there was a water tower in the movie that said "Save Ferris," but seriously, Ferris didn't need saving.

This show jumped the shark the first time it aired. The guy who plays Ferris on TV comes in with a Matthew Broderick cardboard cutout, says "Matthew Broderick? As me??" and then proceeds to run a chainsaw through the cutout to behead it. That's when I turned the channel and declared it unwatchable. But then again, I am and always have been a Broderick fan.

Day One - I knew this program was going to be shyte the moment Charlie Shlatter carried that cardboard cut out of Matthew Broderick around and started whining about how they had Broderick play him (Bueller) in the movie.

I remember watching it once and thought, boy this sucks much more than the movie. I didn't watch it after that. I was thinking the whole episode I watched, this is the reason why the Uncle Buck TV show stunk. They replaced the good actors with a bunch of people I never heard of. So after one episode I quit watching it and went back to enjoying the movie, because that is the real Ferris on there.

I thought it was crappy that they had to move the whole cast to California. The only thing that was good for was the earthquake episode. Also the battles and references between this show and Parker Lewis Can't Lose were really annoying. Just another good movie turned into a bad series. However, I've got no qualms about Jennifer Anniston reprising the role of Jeannie Bueller. In fact, when she and Jennifer Grey (the original Jeannie Bueller) were both on "Friends," I thought it was a highlight of modern television, kind of like Joe Cocker appearing on Saturday Night Live along side John Belushi doing his Cocker impression. Or maybe Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau crossing paths with Tony Randall & Jack Klugman.
