As with most High Schools football dominates interest. Although the team features the unstoppable Larry Kubiac the team lacks any intelligent players. Desperate to score in the El Carado football game (Santo Domingo has NEVER scored a single point in all its games against them) the coach has the brilliant idea to put some smarts in the game. It's always fun to watch Jerry put into abnormal situations and see how he handles them. So long as Kubiac is there to protect Jerry on the field they should be an invincible duo. That is assuming that Jerry doesn't get a big head first and go it alone. A funny theme also runs through the episode as a friendly local news reporter makes a friend of Principal Musso. As soon as the cameras turn on the reporter repeatedly bashes Musso to her surprise every time. A high energy episode full of school spirit, this is "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" at its best.

Jerry's touchdown

Warning: Spoilers
I've been a fan of Parker Lewis ever since it debuted all those years ago, being over 30 years ago, and I'm enjoying rewatching the episodes. Sure, not everyone liked season three, but I did. Anyway, here Jerry Steiner (Troy Slaten, who became a lawyer and is now an administrative law judge) finds himself the unlikely hero of the school's football team, which puts him in the spotlight and the adulation and he loves it, but sadly at the expense of Kubiac. Anyway, again Fat Boy and Little Man's central theme is friendship, and in a way that is the prelude for the third season where friendship became the focus of almost every episode in that season.
