While this by-the-numbers adaptation doesn't have the quirk or emotion that made the original so memorable, it boasts a key building block in Mike Epps. [17 Jun 2016]
It’s a family comedy, one of many on the network, that, at times, has its moments. There’s just too few of them.
You’ve seen versions of these wisecracking kids in sitcoms for decades, even if their problems have been modernized. ... The adults are similarly one-note, from the nagging Jackie to the nebbishy Will to the type-A Alexis. And the beats are predictable.
Uncle Buck needs to be smarter, funnier, and, honestly, a different show. Epps too deserves better.
Epps is deprived of the sort of good writing that would showcase his talent well.
There's a rigidity to the entire production, the unmistakable feeling of a series that was market-tested to death in every predictable plot turn, and every rote, over-written joke.
The new Uncle Buck has a lot in common with the old version. They both, well, suck. ABC's sitcom is not funny. It's unoriginal and tedious.
