Who out there remembers the short-lived Ferris Bueller's Day Off TV series?


That came out on NBC four years after the release of the movie. It's probably best known now for featuring a pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston as Jeannie Bueller. The TV series is also infamous for changing the locale from Chicago to Los Angeles, changing the first names of Ferris and Jeannie's parents, and having Ferris be a junior and Jeannie a senior instead of the other way around like in the movie. And of course, there's the TV Ferris (Charlie Schlatter) chain-sawing a card-board cutout of the movie Ferris (Matthew Broderick) at the start of the pilot. So naturally, that wasn't a case of aiming for good karma.
