Note: this is a spoiler-free advance review of the first episode of Uncle Buck. The series will debut on ABC on Tuesday, June 14 at 9pm EST.
Uncle Buck might not be the most popular or well-regarded entry in the John Hughes canon, but that 1989 comedy is fondly remembered for featuring one of the most memorable comedic performances from the late, great John Candy. That alone should give any network pause before adding Uncle Buck to the ever-growing list of films being rebooted or continued on television. Well, that and the fact that the latest round of TV cancellations proves that trading on an established name is far from a guarantee of ratings success these days. If your Uncle Buck reboot doesn't hinge on an actor with the same charm and screen presence as Candy, why bother revisiting the franchise in the first place? That pretty much sums up the problem with this sitcom.
