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?
It’s Friday and I’m waiting for the Neighbors. What, what, happened? No way ABC can drop the Neighbors. I thought season two was much better then season 1. Maybe next year, ABC will bring them back.
I really wanted their to be a season 3 and i wanted to see Larry bird have his baby so the stupid network should put a season 3 on their or I’m going to be really upset??e
Netflix, we call out to you. Do what this clueless network is too stupid to do.
The neighbors is cancelled? Now I am bummed! Extremely well written show!!!!!!!!!!!!! I looked forward to it and would always get a great laugh. Sad, sad, sad….
Jut when it was getting good, c’mon man. ABC is like the NFL with rookies, they don’t give them enough time I develop and become AWESOME!! Makes you want to not even start watching new shows!!!! Definite boycott of this network for a while.
I think ABC should put the tv show “The Neighbors back on tv, I enjoyed that show
ABC has a tendency to cancel good tv shows and leave shows on like
“The Bachelor” which I for one thinks it stinks.
If ABC doesn’t want to renew the show than place it on ABC Family channel for Season
3
Super upset! This show was hilarious and provided such amazingly witty, unique, self-reflective comedy. It was my favorite show! DARN YOU ABC! Pick it up, some-other-network (Netflix?). #bringbacktheneighbors
I really enjoyed this show!! One of the better written, well-acted, CLEAN shows on tv that a family could watch and laugh with. Why do networks nowadays put on shows that people start to follow, and then cancel them so abruptly??? Why should anyone watch ANY of their shows and try to follow a storyline, the show may not be on the next week because some juvenile network flunky decided it didn’t have any killing or enough blood in it? This is why tv is getting so crappy in recent years, the people who make the decisions are like five-year… Read more »
Craig said it best. One of the last few clean tv sit coms left. Very funny and well written show. Really going to miss this show. I wish now since everyone is required to have a cable box that they allow anyone who wants to, to have their cable box included for the ratings (along with using the dvr’s set to record).
I really wanted to see Larry Bird give birth, like what hole is it coming out of (LOL)! This show has some of the best actors. They could have added a little more of the aliens as themselves but, I loved it all the same.I really wanted to see if Amber and Reggie stayed together as well. I love comedy sitcoms and this was one of the best. BRING IT BACK!! It’s awesome!!! I believe we have enough drama all ready. Let’s keep laughing.
Unbelievable !!!!!! I love this show!!! Some one pick it back up! I would watch it any night y time!!!!! This show and now Life with Fisher gone???? JK Simmons has an awesome sitcom!!! These two and Mom are the very best ones on the air!!!!
Another great show cancelled by clueless networks!
This was a really good, cleverly written, show. ABC should value its viewers more. This is what happens when NOBODY’s job is secure within the network, really bad decisions like these are made.
Very sad to see this go — it was witty, irreverent, and well written — these are the kinds of decisions you get when 18 year olds run the networks — it will probably be replaced with more garbage like Mixology, etc.
Very disappointed with ABC. They finally have a comedy that children can watch and enjoy. Then they cancel it. Our family always DVR the show and watched it as a family. It’s not about vampires, killers, cops, sex lives, It is a show of friendships made, despite their differences. The working together when life throws curves. It is another ABC management mistake. Why can’t they move it to ABC Family?
No no no …The Neighbors shouldn’t be gong anywhere. From Halloween -ween to Bollywood and a pregnant man, COME ON NOW we need to at least see the little alien be born .
No,no,NO! Network is clueless… This was one of the best sit-coms ever! Really bummed. Anything we can do????
