Reception
"Uncle Buck" was panned by critics. After airing on Monday nights for two months, it was moved to Fridays in an attempt by Syndication to establish a comedy night.

However, the ratings dropped from there with strong competition from Syndication's Top 20 hit "Full House" and was cancelled shortly after, having aired only 16 episodes and leaving several filmed episodes unaired.
