Uncle Buck TV Show “Cannot Be More Different” Than the 1989 Movie
Posted on Tuesday, August 4th, 2015 by Fred Topel
There is not a panel for the new Uncle Buck TV show at the Television Critics Association press tour, because ABC has not set an air date for the show. The show stars Mike Epps as Buck Russell, who moves in with his brother and sister in return for helping out around the house. This show is an update from the John Candy character seen in John Hughes’s movie, but ABC President of Entertainment Paul Lee said the show doesn’t spend a lot of time reintroducing Uncle Buck to audiences.
