Back in 1990, CBS tried to make a TV show spin-off of the popular Uncle Buck movie. It was cancelled after one season. Now, ABC is trying their own. Will it be a success in the ratings? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
On Uncle Buck, Buck Russell (Mike Epps) is a fun-loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and a place to stay. By happy coincidence, his brother Will (James Lesure) and sister-in-law Alexis (Nia Long) need his help. Their nanny has just quit and they need someone to take care of their children, Tia (Iman Benson), Miles (Sayeed Shahidi), and Maizy (Aalyrah Caldwell).
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like the new Uncle Buck TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
Please bring Uncle Buck back this one of the best shows on air right now. Thank you in advance.
Why. It was a awesome show. I could not wait for it to come on. Bring it back. Please
Its a shame that uncle buck got canceled it was a wonderful show. Was it taken off because of poor ratings or because it was a African American show? Either way it was an amazing show. We (as in people of color) need more shows like this. This show was realistic, funny, relatable, and many people enjoyed it. This show did not get its just do nor did it get a chance. It was put on at a time and day where 7 other shows come one so there’s no way that people who are committed to watching the show… Read more »
Well it’s been canceled!!!!! If they made to show a little more believable then just taking some other movie setting in applying it to this one which really did not match and just make the script a little bit more believable. The showing to survive . Hence the show was canceled due to really bad overall management of this project.
Please renew this show I Love it laughs for ever
I don’t think Uncle Buck should be cancelled because it’s a really funny show and Mike Epps is hilarious! It hasn’t even been given a chance to make it because the NBA playoffs was airing during the time it has been on. It is to good of a show to cancel. I will be very upset if it is cancelled!
I like the show. Was preempted in Chicago (large market) two weeks in a row at the beginning for baseball so ratings sort of unfair.
Please renewed season 2 it really good and funny love watch just can’t believe already season finale next week and I have not laughed this hard in a while.
Please get renewed for season 2 so funny and Mike Epps so talent comedian very good actor and I have not laughed this hard in a while. Uncle Buck unorthodox teachings are hilarious.
They canceled muppets put the worthless.viewing on. Reason why they did, and it’s all about political correctness.
Lol it seems that people are using proxy servers to put negative likes on the side again. I wish this site leader wants to stop to these people putting negative negative I’m using proxy servers .
I have not laughed this hard in a while. Uncle Buck unorthodox teachings are hilarious. I love this show! Every family has an Uncle Buck whether they want admit or not. Now would I let Uncle Buck take care of my children? The jury is still out on that one. However, like I mentioned, every family has an Uncle Buck. This show gives us an inside look at what could happen if we allowed our “Uncle Bucks” to care for our children. My only concern is your ability to keep the show just as funny as it moves forward. Please… Read more »
Give this show a second season it’s funny and the actors are believable. The one thing I would do is add that girl who played “Juice”, she was funny and very natural. Second season please!!@
This is a terrible series, the acting is terrible the actors are terrible the script is terrible. Is this possibility but with the runners did to this story is wonderful. But the actors are a nightmare they’re not believable even the fictional sense. It won’t last it’ll be canceled by the end of summer. Just like all the other shows that have the similar type of problems.
YESSSSSS that will be great.
Renewed for a second season
