The late John Candy, in what may be his most celebrated role, stars as the eponymous Buck. He's a painfully inept, irredeemable slob who becomes a most unlikely baby-sitter for eight-year-old Miles (Macaulay Culkin), six-year-old Maizy (Gaby Hoffman), and teenaged Tia (Jean Kelly) when Buck's brother and sister-in-law have to leave town to visit a sick relative. Supposedly ill-equipped to take care of children, Uncle Buck keeps Maizy and Miles amused and eventually wins the ... read more leave a comment

  • Scrubs Hold on a sec — let me... | Today's News: Our Take | 2/8/2006
    Scrubs Hold on a sec — let me make sure I fully understand what's going on here. Not only do we get an entire episode celebrating the honor and glory of the great American air band, but we also get air versions of Loverboy, Boston, Fountains of Wayne and Bel Biv DeVoe? Somebody pinch me. And for those of you who adored Turk's "Kung Fu Fighting" sequence last month, I submit for your approval the sheer magic that is his performance of BBD's "Poison."

    Commander in ChiefBecause apparently nothing ever goes smoothly for Mackenzie Allen, this week the ruler of the free world has to contend with a tell-all book filled to the brim with juicy, might-topple-the-Administration secrets. Uh-oh, kids, looks like we've got us a mole in the White House. (I guess it's hoping for too much to wish Tobias Fünke would attack a mini-replica of Washington dressed up in a big mole suit here, huh? That'll teach me to watch a TiVo'd Arrested Development right before I tune in to LadyPrez & Co. Seriously, though, I'll bet Bob Loblaw could help take care of this little snitch problem tout de suite.)  Meanwhile, Mac's choice for VP finally gets his day before Congress in a potentially disastrous confirmation hearing.
