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?
OMG Nooooooo that was one of the funniest series my family and I have watched in ages.
The humor was excellent…
Bring it back…
HOW CRAPPY IS THIS! I love the show it is hilarious and amazing! Typical of American TV! Keep all the ******** shows that teach people how to be idiot (jersey shore etc) and get rid of fun light hearted comedy! BRING IT BACK!
With so much reality shows harassing us on tv, its sad that people that want to laugh at real comedy these days gets smacked in the face. I don’t know who the final decision to cancel or renew, but I have heard nothing negative about this show. Regardless, we will be sad to not be able to enjoy this show anymore.
This is SO TYPICAL of abc & American TV as a whole . This was a great show with a great cast. The musical numbers alone were just fun to watch. True to form. ABC lives up to its name…… Already Been Cancelled. A$$$$$hats!!
Wow! This was a great and actually funny show. Aside from Modern Family this was the only comedy I couldn’t miss. It’s a shame good tv ism’t appreciated over dumba$$ reality shows and competitions.
I am from the UK and I am currently watching the second season back to back. I thought the show was quite funny. I hope that a third season is considered.
Every time I like a show it gets canceled !!!! Time for me to quit watching t.v. BRING BACK THE NEIGHBOURS !!!!!!
Bring back “The Neighbors”!!! My wife and I were hooked!!
It is a shame such an original comedy is getting canceled. This reminds me of SOAP which as incredible for its time also got canceled in its prime back in the 80’s.
The case is incredible. They should at least let Larry have the baby!
It’s hard for me to get into a lot of these stupid tv shows these days then I came across the neighbors. What a gem!
I was hooked, so was the rest of my family We looked forward to watching this together every week I am so disappointed and don’t understand how they could cancel one of the best if not only decent shows. Bring it back!!
This is ridiculous!!! There are very few shows that our family can watch together that we all can enjoy – this is a rare gem. Bring it back!!! Team Neighbors!!!
To bad.. i really liked it :O it is funny and serious acted and feels not forced.. unlike .. anger management and other new series…. it’s a shame…
And yet crap like jersey shore, or whatever shore with orange (a.k.a. whorage) obnoxious people gets season after season because air heads like most youth of this yolo/swag generation wants to be like them -_-
My family and I will join the disappointed people who won’t get to see another season of The Neighbors. Is it possible for another station to pick it up and air it? I think it was a bad decision on the part of ABC to cancel this show. I never get into the series programs because I’m busy and never seem to remember to watch the next episode. But this show had me laughing out LOUD and I can’t remember a tv show ever doing that. I fell in love with the cast of The Neighbors and they will be… Read more »
This was one of my favorite shows. I can’t believe they took it off the air. I would have continue to watch it. I haven’t seen a good alien comedy since Mork and Mindy.
Very bad news about Neighbors. When you think of the crap that’s on prime time, this was a funny, intelligently written, a not afraid to make fun of anything, especially themselves in the last 6 episodes when they figured they were going to get cancelled. They had joke that “we could always end up on the ABC Family channel”. Well ABC, what’s wrong with that. A fresh face to the old reruns would definitely help their ratings. Shows as smart, funny, and inventive are VERY RARE in prime time or cable anymore. Give ABC Family a boost. Lead characters with… Read more »
