It’s time for the aliens to go home. ABC has cancelled The Neighbors after two seasons and 44 episodes.
A family sitcom, The Neighbors follows the Weaver clan as they try to live in a beautiful gated community that’s filled with alien visitors from the planet Zabvron. The ensemble castmembers are Jami Gertz, Lenny Venito, Simon Templeman, Toks Olagundoye, Tim Jo, Clara Mamet, Ian Patrick, Isabella Cramp, and Max Charles.
After a first season of mediocre ratings, the series could have been cancelled last May. However, ABC decided to stick with it and scheduled it on Friday nights. Expectations on Fridays are lower but The Neighbors’ ratings ended up being too low for a third season renewal.
Castmate Olagundoye tweeted the news, “Tweeps, I have known since last night, but was not able to share the news until it was announced publicly. #TheNeighbirs has been cancelled”
What do you think? Are you sorry that there won’t be a third season? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled this show?
I loved that show. Please bring it back. Please Please Please
They canceled The Neighbors but renewed Last Man Standing??!! Somebody needs to pull their heads out of their butts over at ABC!! I DVR’d The Neighbors but found Last Man Standing so repugnant I couldn’t stand to watch the last 45 seconds of the show that my DVR recorded before The Neighbors started, I literally spent extra time using fast forward and rewind to avoid seeing even a second of that terrible show before my beloved Neighbors came on. Bring The Neighbors back!!! And cancel Last Man Standing! I’m pretty sure it was LMS that stunk up the Friday night… Read more »

OMG! Look at the lineup on other channel at that time. You tried to get rid of it after the first season, and there was a HUGE outcry. This time I heard nothing about it, so I could help with stopping the station from making an idiotic mistake. Man I remember when you were on top. You have slid into a low spot with decisions like this, you will slide even further. I have ONE show that I watch on your entire network, Last Man Standing!Just to avoid your advertising, I watch your shows on Netflix. Man ABC, you had… Read more »
Such a shame, one of the few American sitcoms of recent years I actually enjoyed.
Maybe that’s why it failed, because foreigners could actually get the jokes? lol
Sadly they’ll no doubt replace it with more mindless ‘reality’ crap like Jersey Shore to keep the Zombies from having to think.
Great cast, fun idea, not for morons.
OF COURSE IT WAS CANCELLED!
OMG!! it was one of the best sitcoms i really hope you do a 3rd season!
cheers
omg I can’t believe they cancelled it!!! Please bring it back! It was such a good show. Maybe try it on a different night if ratings were low on Friday? It was actually one of the better shows on ABC!!!
