ABC Cancels "Uncle Buck" after One Season
by Kaitlin Thomas
July 6, 2016

ABC has passed on a second season of its summer comedy "Uncle Buck". Series star James Lesure announced the disappointing news Wednesday via Twitter.

"Disappointed. No more @ABCUncleBuck. Cancelled.Thankful to have worked with @ABCNetwork.Proud of what we've done. Thx 4 let us entertain u."

The comedy series, a remake of the 1989 John Hughes film of the same name, featured an all African-American cast led by Lesure, Mike Epps (as the titular ne'er-do-well) and Nia Long.

Although it was not a massive hit in the ratings, the series, which was good but not great, was averaging a 1.0 in the 18-to-40 demographic.

They didn't learn their lesson from the 1990 failed attempt.

The show was a piece of crap anyways it seemed to be a wannabe Blackish ripoff.
