    This show has a lot in comparison to the new one. They both are just... not funny and just plain unoriginal. Filled with plot holes and clichés, this Uncle Buck is also not worth watching.

    The fact that Meaney has a slightly Gleasonesque persona gives his exchanges with Meadows, so long ago Alice Kramden, a nostalgic oomph. Cheering memories of "The Honeymooners" hover over the proceedings -- the icing on a fast-frozen devil's-food cake. [10 Sept 1990, p.B1]

    Buck is mean-spirited twaddle, "Married ... With Children" without confidence in its crassness. [10 Sept 1990, p.3D]

    Boredom, not outrage, will drive viewers away from Uncle Buck, which steals shamelessly from the movie starring John Candy, everything from the giant pancake to the backfiring Buckmobile. Everything, that is, except John Candy. [10 Sept 1990, p.C1]
