The 1990-1991 TV season saw a bizarre trend in popular '80s movies being adapted as sitcoms, including Ferris Bueller, Uncle Buck and more.
It’s safe to say that despite an undeniable downturn in the pervasiveness of the format, and an evolve-or-die mandate that has reshaped the genre as we know it,to ground us in the same old tropes the format has been wallowing in since the 1970s.
What films had the ignominious distinction of being turned into crappy TV shows in this stretch? Well, the victims included such beloved comedies asmight have premiered in this slot as well but ultimately wasn’t picked up, and its sole pilot aired in 1989. There was clearly something noxious in the water at the close of the ‘80s, when it came to butchering well-liked movies.
This sadly must begin with the title character, as veteran comedian Kevin Meaney absolutely flails as he attempts to step into the shoes of the iconic John Candy as “Uncle” Buck Russell. His portrayal is broad and garish, having somehow become notably more chauvinistic than the impish Candy ever came across.
