Uncle Buck TV show intro (1990)

[@TommyAndGracie]

There is only one John Candy/Uncle Buck. No one will ever replace him.

[@Chachechad_prod]

May John candy Rest In Peace

[@legendkillercjl]

You spelled Kevin Meaney wrong

[@podpod6000]

Agree

[@addieleduardosanchezflores1841]

John candy the true uncle buck

[@darrenrenna]

Amazing that they even thought there was enough material to turn the Uncle Buck story into a series

[@TQDMcGee]

What do you mean? Junk car, giant pancake. If you can't get 7 seasons out of that I don't know what you need. /sarcasm

[@kevinmc4500]

Check out Too Many Cooks… 11 minutes of gold!😆

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

A lot of unneeded shows in the 70s-90s

[@pentelegomenon1175]

he made a giant pancake, that's how you know he's Uncle Buck

[@ricksanchezsflask8794]

He smokes cigars too. And his car backfired in front of the school. That's how you know he's Uncle Buck.

[@jayydee72]

Every decade has a certain "look" to it...this is definitely the look of the early 90's sitcoms.

[@kevinmc4500]

Check out too many cooks on KZbin… total 1980’s sitcom openings.😆😆

[@justinroark88]

I sing this song to myself during stressful situations

[@GIROBOTII]

Nothing to worry about. Long after this mess is gone and forgotten, John Candy is, and will forever be remembered as the ONLY Uncle Buck.

[@Cazz8203]

well I can see how this got cancelled pretty damn quick, the intro alone made me angry

[@anthonycerulli5524]

This is sad really because Kevin meaney was an incredibly funny and talented guy. He was given the impossible task of filling John candys shoes

[@xRequiem666]

Gotta admit that theme song is catchy as shit. Today most sitcoms get either; A. a pop song or B. Nothing at all.

[@TheMilsapFanBlog]

That's Ronnie Milsap singing it.

[@chrisreitze1314]

then they found out the chair wasn't flame retardant... everyone died, 2 minutes into the pilot

[@ricksanchezsflask8794]

At least we got to hear that catchy theme song.

[@WillSynn]

There goes a minute of my life I’ll never have again.

[@geeked-outturtlesfan4288]

the guy playing buck as well as the entire cast just didn't fit the characters equal to the actors playing them. and the plot sucked for a show

[@BobbyBenzales]

Yeah I guess it sorta sucked, Although the actor for uncle buck does super much look like him, Hes got that same mad teenage look even though John candy sorta has one.

[@rossdiamondthief6627]

Honestly, the song itself is pretty catchy..

[@JepMasta]

Ronnie Milsap can make anything sound great

[@chrispatty2025]

Yeah I got that same vibe RossDiamondThief. LOL!

[@anthonycerulli5524]

This song lives rent free in my head

[@francescoromani4539]

What's!?!

[@Blahbevava]

Normally I LOVE 80s cheese, but this just made me want to set my eyes on fire.

[@Mew_Master]

This is actually from 1990, thus, making it 90s cheese.

[@KrAyZeD896]

They really wanted you to think for a half second between the fade in with "Starring" and his name, it would say "John Candy".

[@Tyr-qz2lo]

The sad thing is that this isn't even the worst short-lived Uncle Buck tv show.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

I had to look this up and wow. The 2016 version makes this 90s version look like a masterpiece!

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

You remember the popular movie Uncle Buck that had a budget of around 15 million dollars? Let's make a TV series out of it with a budget of $474 and and old Betacam!

[@Anarchist86ed]

The black version lasted even shorter than this.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

Black version?

[@Anarchist86ed]

@@HerecomestheCalavera Yeah, they did an all black TV show. It was basically just black people being black people. It got canned real fast.

[@snkga]

@@Anarchist86edyou don’t remember what it was called?

[@LukeLeonettiYouTube]

@@snkga It was just called Uncle Buck

[@kastroots]

I believe this show is about a chap that goes by the name Uncle Buck.🤔

[@DeLorean4]

I rewatched this video a few times, and I'm now 75% sure you're correct.

[@vuvuslayer]

That's a bold call. I'll need clarification.

[@sfdsfda]

Spot on

[@zanethomas6865]

It was a bad idea from the start. I think even Kevin Meany said it wasn't too good. To quote the late comics catchphrase: "That ain't right!"

[@isaiahchapman7660]

Even though nobody can replace John Candy, this theme slaps!!

[@francescoromani4539]

What's!?!

[@LUCKO2022]

I didn't even know this existed. Now I wish I didn't know.

[@dnasty312]

I heard of the show first, believe or not

[@mikesiagian]

@@dnasty312 Same, actually!

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

That song would get so old for 7 seasons.

[@fernandofernando4364]

I watched this series & I knew it would bomb before it even aired

[@retsilagnilooc]

This makes my heart cry and my eyes bleed.

[@crazydave210]

john candy will be always everyones uncle buck

[@ConnorWhoOfficial]

Nobody can replace John Candy. This is horse shit. And this new one they're doing won't last a series.

[@vadimkishko9563]

@Mike Cyr Talking about the 2015 version, genius.

[@jonc.189]

"He's a walking New Year's Eve." Huh?!?!?!

[@realitycheck5698]

Where the party starts. 🎉

[@Astro84]

The only Uncle Buck is JOHN CANDY

[@Sigma0283]

I actually remember seeing one episode where he made a large peanut butter sandwich equal to the size of the pancake. Unfortunately he didn’t have jelly and substituted it with Jell-O.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

The song is catchy AF, no doubt I would have watched the show just to listen to it 😀😂

[@VaultMasterDBT]

I'm watching the episodes of this TV version right now on KZbin, and it's greatly EXCEEDED my expectations. Regardless of your opinion of Kevin Meaney as a stand-up comic, he played Buck Russell with a lot of heart in this show. It *was* initially a success in the ratings when CBS aired it on Monday nights, but a move to Fridays only two months in eroded viewership. People, you all need to learn to not judge a show by a simple opening sequence.

[@jasoncinema]

Yeah, I remember watching this as it aired, with my mom and sister, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Like you said, no one can replace Candy but Meaney did a good job in this TV adaptation. And one hell of a comedian, too. We lost him way too soon.

[@Mew_Master]

Me: Mom, I want Uncle Buck Mom: We have Uncle Buck at home Uncle Buck at home:

[@Jason_Sutton]

R.I.P. Kevin Meaney

[@johnconnor210]

This version was better than the 2016 version with mike epps

[@GenoCuddy]

RIP Kevin Meaney.

[@XAbbeldydooX]

Holy shit...this looks like some fan made parody shit.

[@Official_GoldVader]

The song is great should of been the movies theme song besides wild thing similar to weird science

[@A-Gut-of-the-Past]

Uncle YUCK

[@haileyshannon7548]

You can't take a show seriously when the actress playing the oldest daughter is named Dah-ve Chodan!

[@Sigma0283]

I remember seeing an episode of this show where he was making a peanut butter sandwich (The size of the pancake) and used jello for jelly when he couldn't find any.

[@Mattwav]

who is being cancelled after 16 episodes? It's Uncle Buck!

[@shaquadradeloiserussell8659]

the radio commercials on GTA: Vice City always made me think of this; Where Jenna Jameson says: "I just sat the couch on fire again!" "Ican helpya withat..."

[@Bortsch_]

Just the Five of Us. With Claude Maganot as Mr Chesterfield? Nice obscure reference, my man!

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

Time for another good idea/bad idea! Good idea = Making an Uncle Buck movie with John Candy in the starring role. Bad Idea = Making an Uncle Buck TV show with none of the original cast or writers.

[@ericbattle4597]

This was worse than the Ferris Bueller sitcom that NBC aired around 1990-1991'ish.

[@bigbubba29]

@crieff405 John Candy must have thought this would be great, as he gave Kevin Meaney a box of wine with a note wishing him good luck.

[@andyspazchrist9832]

Conor McGregor should walk out to this for his next fight

[@SteveDave211]

RIP Kevin Meaney

[@Actors317]

You know, from a distance, he actually looks like a thin John Candy.

[@AtticusRh0des]

and this show killed ALL of these actors careers

[@bigbubba29]

@douglasfranks This is supposedly a different universe than the movie. In this show, Bob & Cindy died in a car accident, and Buck is named guardian of Tia, Miles, and Maizy, much to the objection of Cindy's mom (the kids' grandma), whom was played by Audrey Meadows.

[@Elric_Winchester]

Truth be told, the could had made this in the same universe, except say Buck and Cherise are newly married. At this point, Buck as been working on cleaning up his life and making a better living. Early into it he gets a call that his brother and his sister-in-law were in a car accident. They both wind up passing away and in their will named Buck the children's legal guardian, but word gets out to Cindy's sister, with the help of her mother/kids' grandmother, and she makes it her personal mission to fight Buck for guardianship. Boom. There's your show.

[@bigbubba29]

[@stuartburt8948]

Say what you want about the show... but this intro fuckin slaps!

[@Mattwav]

I used to watch this show as a kid I remember when it first aired, was funny and looking back it was surprisingly mean spirited at times. Movie was still funnier

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

Sacrilege. I wish I never discovered this.

[@joemo333]

This show is probably not as great as the movie uncle Buck but because I love John Candy and uncle Buck so much and I love the 90s I’m willing to watch this show. It only has one season and even if it’s bad I’m gonna watch the whole thing. Also I would love if someone made a documentary style series that is not just a documentary but also an hour long show that can give you the feel of a John Hughes film and A John candy movie. I would want it to be a documentary style where you’re kind of looking back on John Hughes and John Candy but at the same time there’s a story woven into it that makes you feel like you’re watching a heartwarming John Hughes movie and a heartwarming John Candy movie. If I look back on to the 80s and I think about which type of films have a special place in my heart the most I would have to say it’s John Hughes films and also John Candy films. Also as a recommendation if anyone reading this has never seen summer rental with John Candy I would highly recommend it because even though it’s not as memorable as uncle Buck I believe if more people saw it then it could be just as memorable.

[@DrBachur]

I'm sorry, _Dah-ve Chodan?_

[@Webb_Studios]

Can’t let the fellas know I vibe with this

[@CampMovieCamp]

@arloj it's a difficult procedure, but clasp your hands together and spin in a circle really really fast. you'll pass out, but when you awake, you'll have forgotten about the show.

[@ricksanchezsflask8794]

The producers had to come up with something to help viewers forget the Ferris Bueller sitcom.

[@TimBoyd2012]

They were on two different networks. Also, Ferris Bueller had to compete with Parker Lewis Can't Lose, which had the same basic premise.

[@haileyshannon7548]

and another one is coming this fall!

[@brandonbetts7569]

And that one got cancelled quickly too lol

[@bigbubba29]

@brenthatesashley I'm glad you see this in a more positive light.

sickening enough to say, i have five episodes and this show is actually watchable

[@StuntmanJackR]

I heard of Kevin Meany, but I have no idea who any of these other cast members are.

[@markminter6312]

Man, the early 1990's had some absolute turd TV shows. This being a prime example.

[@xnonsuchx]

@CampMovieCamp - Is...he's done Broadway shows for several years as well as Vegas standup shows. Not super-rich like Seinfeld or a few others, but has apparently done well for himself. He did just come out as gay after his divorce a year or two ago, though...and that MAY have had some affect on his professional life over the years.
