If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I only watched a few episodes of this show, but this series didn't last long anyhow. It involves the life of main character Tucker, whose parents are divorced. Therefore, he is forced to move into his Aunt Claire's house, with her pilot husband Jimmy and strange cousin Leon. Things take a turn when Tucker meets neighbor McKenna, whom he wants to date. But, he has to compete with her boyfriend played by actor Seth Green.There are some funny moments in the show, but lacks a compelling story. There are several crude jokes that make you wonder if this should be a family-oriented sitcom, especially starring a 14 year-old lead.This show was canceled after only one season, and I don't recall if it even lasted for the entire first season run. But, I didn't care for this show too much. If you're a fan of slapstick and teenage flicks, give it a try but, overall, I think the sitcoms made in the late 1990s and on lack originality, real humor, class and a compelling story.Grade D

Ive seen a lot of teenage comedy programmes and this was up at the top! Its so funny! All the actors were great and Seth Green was so funny! Its such a shame that they arnt showing it any more because if it was put on the right time and night then this probably could have been as big as Malcom in The Middle. Its exactly my kind of humor and is just the type of thing that you feel like watching on a Friday night.

NBC barely let 3 episodes of Tucker get on the air before they axed it and sent it to the Neilsen graveyard. Which is pretty unfair, since they stuck it on a bad night for TV in general and then expected it to do as well as Malcolm in the Middle. They did this to Freaks and Geeks as well, another cool show about teenagers. Honestly, I don't know what goes through their minds up at NBC. But anyway, I liked the little bit of Tucker that I saw. True, the characters were one-dimensional. True, it tried to be Malcolm, which admitedly is funnier than Tucker. But in its own way I thought it was worth encouraging. Maybe somewhere down the line it would have turned into something really jazzy, but for now all we have is 12 episodes to reflect on. I liked that they made Tucker constantly horny (a thing that many kids can relate to, especially when the guy's got a major jones that he has to hide from others), and Andy Lawrence was cool as the best friend. The two characters that did not work for me was the always evil Aunt and the cousin who was almost too much like the character Reese from Malcolm, in that he was an idiot with about 3 brain cells. They definitely could have been reworked to look more realistic in terms of personality. As it stands, I give Tucker 2.5/4 for trying to make it in an evening of crappy TV that no one watches. I salute thee!

Ok, so Nickelodeon UK and Nickelodeon USA have big differances, but, especially when Nickelodeon UK started showing Tucker. Nickelodeon UK have been known in the past to pick up 1 season, then cancelled shows like examples of "Two of a Kind" and probably the same with teh just recently shown "Raising Dad".Though, this show was so great and so funny when I first thought it, yet Nickelodeon UK had the nerve to repeat the show and get through all the episodes in two weeks for like 4 months straight.
