Similar to the end of season 2 this episode was set in the Atlas Diner. Dissimilar to any other episode though it's a 'flash-back' episode. Normally I don't like flashback episodes, but seeing as this is the last episode of the series it does seem fit. Set to the threat of the end of the Atlas Diner (to make room for a strip mall) every one of the 'main characters' goes to play a song on the juke box. This proceeds to said character having flashbacks of their 'life' (namely their 3-season long life). The disappointing thing about the flashbacks is the lack of focus on previous season's characters. Frank Lemmer doesn't appear at all in Season 3 (which was a drag) and conveniently he is in only briefly in about 3 flashbacks. Same goes with Nick (The manager of the diner in season 2) who doesn't appear at all nor does Parker's parents who were in all 3 seasons. So while this episode was bittersweet I suppose it had to of been made. It's a wonders how network executives can change the format of a show thus killing the show and abandon it after only one season. Long live "Parker Lewis Can't Lose"... Too much coolness while it lasted.

I'm a huge Parker Lewis fan and a series finale should be special. I appreciate not all are (exhibit A - Seinfeld). What disappointed me was the episode was mainly clips from previous episodes. We didn't see Parker's parents which was a shame.

I wish there was some sort of coherent storyline in the finale but I guess that wasn't to be. Maybe the writers were fatigued and wanted to quickly move on to new employment. But let's give them and the performers their due, they delivered a fine series that should have gone on longer than three seasons.

I look back on Parker Lewis with fond memories and I actually liked season 3! Not everyone did but I did like it.
