The ABC comedy series Uncle Buck is slated to premiere Tuesday night, but you can also watch it online.

Uncle Buck is based on the 1989 John Hughes movie of the same name. The series centers on the titular Uncle Buck (Mike Epps), a hustler who suddenly finds himself dealing with domestic issues when his family moves to town.

Buck decides to be the "manny" to his brother Will (James Mesure) and sister-in-law Alexis' (Nia Long) kids, and chaos ensues.

Uncle Buck is slated to premiere its first two episodes starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Each episode is a half hour.

The first episode will serve as an introduction to the show's central conceit, while the second episode, titled "L'il Scarface," will feature the following:

"Alexis and Will try to help Maizy [Aalyrah Caldwell] overcome her shyness in order to sell Sunny Scout cookies," the ABC synopsis states. "Mom does her best to teach Maizy the valuable lesson of following the rules by selling cookies the right way, while Dad just wants to get rid of them by any means possible. When both plans fail, Buck jumps in to help Maizy break out of her shell and hustle her way to the top - as only he can."

If you are not able to watch the premiere of Uncle Buck live on a television but still want to watch it at the same time as everyone else, you may be in luck. ABC has its own live stream link in select areas across the country. Check now to see if it's available in your area.

But if you cannot see the premiere live, ABC will likely upload both episodes online on Wednesday, and as long as you enter your cable subscription information, you should be able to see them.
