Though this is no longer available for sale, the director's commentary is available here . The Bueller...Bueller re-release has several more bonus features, but does not contain the commentary track of the original DVD release . The I Love the' 80s edition is identical to the first DVD release (no features aside from commentary), but includes a bonus CD with songs from the 1980s . The songs are not featured in the film . The Bueller...Bueller edition has multiple bonus features such as interviews with the cast and crew, along with a clip of Stein's commentaries on the film's philosophy and impact .

The series served as a prequel to the film . In the pilot episode, the audience sees Schlatter cutting up a cardboard cutout of Matthew Broderick, saying that he hated Broderick's performance as him . It was produced by Maysh, Ltd . Productions in association with Paramount Television . In part because of competition of the similar series on the Fox Television Network, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, the series was canceled after the first thirteen episodes aired . Both Schlatter and Aniston later had success on other TV shows, Schlatter on Diagnosis: Murder and Aniston on Friends . </P>
