Ferris Bueller (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferris Bueller was a short-lived spin-off of 1986 John Hughes film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It debuted in August 23, 1990 on NBC and was cancelled within a few months of its debut. It is known outside of its fan base as having starred a then-unknown Jennifer Aniston (who would later hit it big with Friends) as Jeannie Bueller, played by Jennifer Grey in the film. Coincidentally, in "Friends," Jennifer Grey appeared as Mindy, a friend of Aniston's character Rachel.
The show was broadcast on Monday nights with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, also in its first season, as a lead in. Ferris Bueller was replaced mid-season with the more offbeat sitcom Blossom, which did considerably better.
Some credit its demise to competition from a show with a similar concept that debuted on the Fox network the same month, Parker Lewis Can't Lose. Parker Lewis proved to be somewhat more successful, lasting three seasons.
