Parker Lewis Can't Lose because he has borrowed wholesale from the film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Well the High School principle is female here.

The wisecracking, cool kid Parker Lewis and his pals Mikey and Jerry use all sorts of hi tech equipment to stay one step ahead of everyone. Especially Ms Musso the school principal who just wants to expel Parker.

The pilot sees Parker and Mikey falling out over new girl Robin Fecknowitz (Milla Jovovich.) Parker likes her but does not realise that she is going out with Mikey. Only Robin fancies Parker more and his sister Shelly has spotted them kissing, taken a photo of them with a long lens camera that she just happened to be carrying and posted it all over school.

Now Parker needs to make up with Mickey but nothing works until the high school bully Larry goes on a rampage.

A series likes this works with teenagers than adults. You have to forget about what influenced the show. Also overlook how did Shelly get such an expensive camera and how did Parker obtain a videotape of news footage of saving those bus passengers earlier in the morning.
