ABC Plan For Uncle Buck TV Comeback

Continuing the seemingly ever-lasting trend of turning 80s/90s content into modern TV shows, ABC have announced their next target in the process to be Uncle Buck.

uncle_buckThe Disney-owned network have made a script order for a TV adaptation of the 1989 family comedy movie, which was directed by the late John Hughes, and starred the late John Candy as a good-natured but childish bachelor who is turned to in an emergency to take care of his brother’s children. One of those children was notably played by a pre-Home Alone Macaulay Culkin.

The Universal Pictures format had originally been turned into a TV show by CBS in 1990 with Kevin Meaney as taking on Candy’s role, but would shortly be cancelled after poor critical and viewer reception to the sitcom.

The new effort will naturally be looking to do a lot better, with the people responsible for making that happen being writers Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley, of Universal TV, with their executive producer team so far completed by Will Packer (Ride Along).

Very few of the most recent conversion projects taken on by networks in the past few years have amounted to much, with even basic airtime being a difficult hurdle to overcome, so will a trend be bucked with ABC’s newest old effort? What they are attempting to emulate can be seen below:
