Uncle Buck Ordered to Series by ABC

May 8, 2015

Share on Reddit


Thanks to Mr Edmodo for the heads up.

The network on Friday handed out a series order to its African-American-led remake of Uncle Buck, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Based on John Hughes' 1989 movie, the comedy centers on Uncle Buck (Mike Epps) a fun-loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s nanny has just quit and his brother and sister-in-law need his help. His unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the family and they may be the answer to his problems, too.

Nia Long, James Lesure, Iman Benson, Sayeed Shahidi and Aalyrah Caldwell round out the cast.

  1. Deadline reports it will be for midseason. If true, Lms is probably getting renewed

  9. I was thinking that would be The Muppets would do that. I think Real O'Neals will tank first.

  11. Deadline | Upfronts 2015: CBS Narrows Pilot Field

  12. The Muppets may pair with Galavant?

  13. That is a great idea to hold this to mid season. If something fails or doesn't get a back order, they need to have a replacement.

  14. First, Uncle Buck is John Candy. Noone else will ever replace him.

    Second, why turn the entire family into African-Americans? The originals were White. Not a race issue, I'm just curious.

  15. Being that CBS didn't pick much up this might be good news for Stalker.

  16. Deadline reports it is midseason and it also has it listed as multi-cam (though THR has it as single cam so there are conflicting reports there). My guess is it gets FOTB midseason treatment, which means depends on the performance of fall comedies.

  17. Which ABC comedies will you be watching, Bill?

  18. I think inevitably a lot of stuff will be sent to summer. Last year they sent The Whispers and Astronaut Wives Club to summer, while Members only was pre cancelled. I would expect something of the sort to happen again.There is just too much stuff.

  19. I'll have to see after viewing the trailers. After all I only tried Cristela for the heck of it and ended up loving it, dropping Modern Family in the process.

    As of now I will be watching Dr, Ken and at least trying The Muppets. This on top of The Middle, The Goldbergs (maybe in batches though instead of every week) and Fresh Off The Boat.

    Not sure if I will drop Empire or not so that may free up some time too.

  20. No Uncle Buck or Real O'Neals then?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'll probably try them out but I don't foresee myself watching the series. Hard to tell though.

    ReplyDelete
  22. By the way you are probably over the moon with Super Clyde dead, no?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think this could be fun, but I highly doubt it will turn into appointment TV for me.
