Pretty Good

hyped garbage

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

"That 'Malcom' show on FOX is really making a killing... can't we do our own version?" I speculate and paraphrase, of course, but in our hearts we all know this was how NBC came up with the idea for "Tucker," and that the only thing they added to the 'Malcom' metric was sex. And, boy, did they add sex...Tucker gets a boner and covers it up with his skateboard. Tucker accidentally walks in on his Aunt in the shower and she accuses him of watching her and masturbating. Tucker spies on the preteen girl across the street, and although he wants to see her topless she teases him by smiling and closing her bedroom window. This is all in the pilot. And Tucker is thirteen.Take it from a grown man- a boy's puberty is so sex-crazy and testicle-driven it is impossible to make it funny for a mainstream audience. The only times anyone has ever come close has been in movies, and you can count those on one hand. So it's no surprise that "Tucker" has the warmth and appeal of a strip-club bathroom. Did the network actually think we would like watching testosterone-drunk teenage boy grapple with puberty? Isn't this the stuff people go to jail for? If you doubt the show's depravity consider this: 13 episodes were filmed but NBC canceled it after only 4 episodes aired; they then made the unprecedented move of "burning off" the remaining episodes by airing them AT MIDNIGHT so no children could see them. Ironic since kids were originally the target audience. Apart from its general scuzziness Tucker features a running voice-over from the lead character to flesh out the shoddy writing. Even in 2000 the show was horribly dated, with it's ska incidental music and super-smarmy sarcasm. I couldn't like any of the characters enough to laugh at the jokes and the jokes didn't exactly come a mile-a-minute... Shame on NBC for this dirty rip-off... they're better than that.GRADE: C-

I loved tucker!!!!! It was so great and true and funny........i cant believe it was cancelled ..........we never found out if he got the girl! This needs a DVD release now!!!!!!!! Plus it's got Seth green and Alison lohman : so they can use them to sell it!!! Katey Segal was so funny as the evil auntie-she reminded me of my own aunt who i had to stay with sometimes! I just remember how much i loved the episode where it was thanksgiving dinner- and they all went to the resteraunt where tucker's mom worked to see her and then tucker had this big dream sequence where his mom + dad got back together+ it was really hilarious when the auntie pulled the waitress outfit off.........hilarious. Yet another great nickelodeon show that has been buried instead of given a great DVD release-along with Sabrina the teenage witch and Are you afraid of the dark?.....Get them out on DVD now, Nickelodeon!!!!!!

This show was great, and had a cult following in the NBC.com group. Teenagers who watched the show loved it, which isn't a surprise as it was based on and for teenagers.Either way, it was a great show that was, unfortunately, put on a Monday night against a hit ABC show, so... it died after 5 episodes (which is too bad, because that cult following was awaiting the Halloween show, only to find that we ended up with some generic news show during the time slot)Tucker was a good one. Seth Green was hilarious as himself (heh!) and Katie Segal was great. It's sad to see that she's got stuck in these dying shows, because with the death of John Ritter, I can't see 8SR lasting much longer, despite them trying.

my family and i really enjoyed the first show. it brought back memories of when i was going through the tough teenage years.my wife and my kids really loved Uncle Jimmy. we thought he was so cool, the way he delt with Tucker and his wife. we would love to see more of him. keep up the good work, and keep us laughing
