    If John Candy would be alive today, he'd be extremely disappointed with this attempt to bring the good old Uncle Buck together. I wonder if Mike Epps was living his life in a box for several weeks or so just for a role.

    This is the modern-day, politically correct version of a great movie from "back in the day". But, even without the previous, the show is terrible. The jokes are corny and way too transparent to laugh at. The casting is terrible, and absolutely not even close to the level of quality that the movie has.

    The new sitcom isn’t bad, it’s just bland; low-impact, lightweight, and nothing to write (or tweet) home about. It’s too bad for Epps, who does his best with a limited role.

    Uncle Buck needs to be smarter, funnier, and, honestly, a different show. Epps too deserves better.

    Uncle Buck offers a relative minimum of offensiveness, very few laughs, only hints at Epps' actual capabilities and runs a decent cast through stories you've seen done better on countless sitcoms.
