Tucker

[Sean Snow]

I miss the show Tucker! I know it was the worst rated show on NBC on Mondays at 8:30 PM, but now it's the highest rated show on Nickelodeon UK, and with only 13 episodes! I wish NBC had never cancelled "Daddio" and "Tucker"!

Marianne: Well, look! It's Pocahantas Purneli, the town halfbreed! Half indian, and half dressed! Come in Poke!
Pocahantas: Maryanne, I know there's something desperatly missing in your life!
Maryanne: How did you know?
Pochantas: I saw it in your eyes, I read it in your face, I read it on your bumpersticker that says "Welcome, Shriners"!

Shirley: Rhonda, if your not out of here on the count of three, Laverne here will shave your head, and you can be in "The King and I"!

Short-Lived Sitcom Potpourri (XIX)

But aside from this basic setup — and the fact that, in the beginning, the kid narrated the show (à la Malcolm’s fourth wall breaks) — the premise itself is higher concept, with a “forced to move in with extended family” hook that renders this show a little less narratively traditional than Malcolm… However, if Tucker seems to be more precise with its situation, it’s stylistically less rebellious — its episodes are more conventionally plotted, with a kid-focus even more reminiscent of many prior sitcoms in this category, filled with tropes like annoying adults, mean kids, and a hot girl next door.
