The first film in the Parker Family series was a Made-for-TV film called THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN HEARTH, in 1976. It's about Ralphie, a teenager, and the drama surrounding his junior prom. The movie also includes the anecdote from Jean Shepard's memoir about the sexy lamp! 
The second Parker Family made-for-tv movie was THE GREAT AMERICAN FOURTH OF JULY AND OTHER DISASTERS, which finds Ralphie in another dating crisis, and the family getting into misadventures at (what else?) Fourth of July.
Ralphie was played by future Oscar nominee Matt Dillon!
