From 'Grimm' and 'Once Upon a Time': TV's dueling shows
(FOX, NBC)

'Parker Lewis Can't Lose' vs. 'Ferris Bueller'
Debut: 1990
Premise: A charismatic, wacky high schooler and his band of cohorts get into all sorts of hijinks.
The Verdict: Surprised you even remember these two? Maybe you don't. "Ferris Bueller" only aired 13 episodes before it was yanked. But "Parker Lewis" ran for three seasons on FOX and then lived on for several years on USA. Edge: "Parker Lewis," even if the Aniston factor does bump up "Bueller's" cool points. Synchronize swatches!
