Ratings: ABC's 'Uncle Buck' Plummets 33 Percent From Premiere

Perhaps “Uncle Buck” is a bit of a loser, after all. The ABC small-screen adaptation lost one-third of its viewers in the key 18-49 demographic from last week’s debut.

To be fair to Mike Epps & Co., however, this week’s “Buck” lead-in was much weaker — a “Black-ish” encore (0.7 rating), versus a “To Tell the Truth” preview (a 1.1).

Over on primetime-winner NBC, sketch show “Maya & Marty” actually bested the series finale of CBS’ “Person of Interest” in the main demo.

At 10, “Maya & Marty” posted a 1.1/4 and 4.4 million viewers.

Univision was second in ratings with a 1.0/4, but fourth in viewers with 2.6 million.

ABC was third in ratings with a 0.9/3 and in viewers with 3.8 million. Following reruns, “Uncle Buck” at 9 p.m. ET settled for a 1.0/4 and 3.7 million viewers. “To Tell the Truth” at 10 received a 1.0/3 and 4.4 million viewers.
