ABC’s ‘Uncle Buck’ has seen its tale come to an unexpected end.
Bad news for its viewers below…
The show was based on the John Hughes-presented John Candy-led project of the same name and starred Mike Epps and James Lesure.
Alas, not even the genius of the producer Will Packer could save the series from cancellation after its first season which delivered eight episodes.
Lesure made the announcement on Twitter:
Disappointed. No more @ABCUncleBuck. Cancelled.Thankful to have worked with @ABCNetwork.Proud of what we’ve done. Thanks for letting us entertain you.
I found it was too much like Blackish. Didn’t find it all too funny. Good luck guys though.
Yeah you don’t like anything “blackish” at all do you?
Exactly lol.
Didn’t laugh one bit at the first episode. They also need to cancel that Carmichael show. Nothing’s funny anymore. SMH
Biiiiiitch you tried it, The Carmichael Show is hilarious! Don’t fûcking watch it if you don’t like it! How dare you!
Lol. Granted I only watched one episode of Carmichael. I guess I could give it a try.
The Carmichael Show is actually funny. It’s a bit here and there, but once you get their sense of humor, it’s hilarious.
Are you f****** crazy??? The Carmichael Show is hilarious! Loretta Devine and David Allen Grier alone deserve Emmys for their roles. The Carmichael Show is like the black All In The Family. I love it!
I bet Mike Epps probably was the cause of it getting canceled. Even as a kid he just never was really funny to me.
NEVER!!!!!
I don’t find him funny either. Just loud and annoying. And he so bitter about Kevin Hart’s success that it makes me like him even less.
Right
i’m still waiting for that Latavia Robinson story and update.
Nobody cares!! Let it go.
You can’t write a story based on speculation. Until someone close to her family confirms her condition there’s nothing to talk about.
Start you own blog and have that be the first article. Enact some decent moderation and use DISQUS for the comments section, and I might actually visit it…
Was the show any good anyways?
This “Black” show had no promotional budget so I’m not surprised. Such a shame too. Love Mike Epps.
Actually they promoted it a whole lot. And it was the highest watched show of the summer season in its first episode. It just wasn’t good. Stop pulling the race card in your generic I can’t afford a professional graduation photo. That outfit is weaker than this show!
LMFAOOO jesus christ
This is crazy to know they already cancelled. Wendy was just saying a few weeks ago the ratings were good. Either Wendy is back to lying (as usual) or Mike’s soon to be ex wife is doing some witchcraft and spells to make sure Mike has no success for the rest of his life.
Whenever a major network premieres a scripted show in the summer time, it means they don’t believe it will do well. I guess they were right.
I didn’t care to watch it tbh
Probably didnt test well. I gave it a shot. Too unrealistic n over acting
I called it when it premiered. The first week numbers were soft and they always decline after the debut episode. Add to this the fact that the casting was terrible and that Mike Epps is NOT funny enough to be a leading actor and what u have is a disaster.
Never knew it even aired…. i dont watch too many sit coms. But this one in particular, when reading about its coming didnt get me excited at all, That market is already crowded with light skin comedians. I would Like to see nia Long in something else though, maybe not a sitcom
“The market is already crowded with light skin comedians”…HUH??? That has to be the most self hating comment I’ve seen from a person of color all year. Where did you learn to make pathetic comments like this and assume that it’s ok???
The show isn’t that damn funny
I didn’t even know the show had aired. Wasn’t Uncle Buck originally an all-white cast? It’s no surprise that Hollywood reject this all-black version.
That was the fastest cancellation in history.Lmao damn
