Ferris Bueller is an American sitcom based on the 1986 John Hughes' film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ferris Bueller debuted August 23, 1990 on NBC and was cancelled within its 1rst season, a few months after its debut. Ferris Bueller show starred Charlie Schlatter in the title role (which was played by Matthew Broderick in the film). Outside of its fan base, Ferris Bueller show is known for having starred a then relatively-unknown Jennifer Aniston in the role of the main character's sister, Jeannie Bueller (played by Jennifer Grey in the film). Ferris Bueller show was produced by Maysh, Ltd. Productions in association with Paramount Television.
Ferris Bueller... Though based on the movie, the series was not a continuation of the film, rather, the series was set up to portray itself as being the "real life," situations after which the film was based. In the pilot episode, Ferris (Schlatter) refers to the film and expresses his displeasure at Matthew Broderick portraying him, even going as far as destroying a life-size cardboard cutout of Broderick with a chainsaw. As in the film, the series focused on Ferris Bueller and his high school experiences, including dealing with his sister Jeannie (Aniston), his friend Cameron (Douglas), and Bueller's love interest Sloan (Dolenz). Unlike the film, which was set in Chicago, the series was set in Los Angeles.
