The story

Though based on the film, the series was not a canon continuation but is claimed in the first episode to portray the "real life" situations that inspired the film.

Ferris (Schlatter) expresses his displeasure at being portrayed by Matthew Broderick, a cardboard cutout of whom he destroys with a chainsaw, although the series makes no later references to the film.

Ferris is liked by everyone as the "cool guy on campus".
