That Uncle Buck series is happening and there’s a picture

“Look at that hat!” the neighbors will exclaim. “It’s seated far too high on his head! Why, it has the lackadaisical tilt of a carnival grifter or jazz pianist! Who would ever trust him with a child’s welfare?”

The show will attempt to answer that question every week with a cast that also includes Nia Long, James Lesure, Sayeed Shahidi, and Aalyrah Caldwell, whose embrace of and/or embarrassment at Epps’ unconventional approach to family-rearing and hat-wearing will eventually inspire us all to cut loose a little—even if we are, say, the surviving family members of a director or actor who really didn’t want this to happen.

The show is also expected to address Uncle Buck’s refusal to wear collared shirts with a blazer, and what we can learn from that.
