Overall, The Neighbors did well for ABC but, based on the negative reviews and comments, one has to think that there’s a very good chance the numbers will take a serious nosedive in week two. We shall see.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like The Neighbors TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
The Neighbors is a clever funny show with a wacky premise and a bunch of whacky characters to go with it. Love the neighborhood aliens and the funny situations they get into. I love the human family and the Alien one. There is nothing like it on TV. Looking forward to the next episode.

The Neighbors is a fun 30 min getaway. A network show that the whole family can watch? Watch it, watch it, and laugh because it’s good!
I love the humor and the campiness well done ABC ….
Either the people who are giving this insipid one-joke show great reviews are hapless production assistants with loaded guns at their temples, or they belong to the same clueless class of Americans known as “undecided voters.”
This show is beyond bad. It is painful to watch, as stale and bland as month-old Wonder Bread, and a criminal waste of a good time slot. And I just read that ABC ordered three more scripts? Clearly they are unfamiliar with the old maxim: “You can’t polish a ****.”
But good luck trying.
