ABC has killed off the freshman comedy Uncle Buck, even with the the good ratings.
The Mike Epps sitcom, which drew strong ratings when it premiered last month, will not be returning for a second season. Tuesday’s Season 1 closer will serve as the show’s series finale.

Uncle Buck‘s June 14 debut had a surprisingly robust 5.2 million total viewers and a 1.5 rating, delivering ABC’s largest audience in the Tuesday time slot since December of 2014 and the best demo number in eight months.
Tuesday’s finale attracted 3.4 million viewers and a 1.0 rating, both series lows.
