I heard that abc is making an uncle buck tv show. and they are making the entire cast black, which I think it's a bad idea. i don't know how they carry the buck taking care of the kids while the parents are away arc in a entire season. they cast mike epps to play uncle buck, which he is totally miscast.
I mean I love mike, but john candy will always be uncle buck. the reason why I think an All-Black Uncle Buck Sitcom is an bad idea because the African-American humor will ruin the legacy of the movie. making the characters black and trying to make it ghetto makes no sense. Mike epps made that mistake in the honeymooners movie, and also john hughes and john candy's families hated the idea.
The families feel a strong attachment to the original film which symbolized the great and unique collaboration between Hughes and Candy. Recalling that the director was displeased with first Uncle Buck TV show effort which failed on CBS in 1990, it is well expected that he would not be supportive of this current attempt. Also, nbc was going to make a say anything tv show, without Cameron crowe and john cusack. Cameron and john heard about it, Cameron tried to stop it and nbc pulled the plug.
If you are a fan of uncle buck, sign this petition.
We, the undersigned, call on abc to cancel uncle buck.
