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?
Brilliant casting; amazing cast. Loved every episode and couldn’t wait for the next one. Bought both seasons on DVD. Turned all my friends and family on to this lovely family show. Absolutely longing for Season 3 and now it’s cancelled! Please please make an executive decision to put this show back on the air. The characters are every bit as endearing as those in the Big Bang Theory.
This show was great i look forward to the new episodes every week. They all were great and made me laugh. There could have been so many things that ABC could have done in the third season.
I don’t even know why the would thin off canceling it is great show a lot of people love it
My family loved this show. It was refreshing to have a choice besides all the reality TV shows that have flooded the channels. The show was fun and light hearted which is so rare today. We are sad that this show was cancelled.
I am so sad to learn this was cancelled months ago. My elementary aged daughter and I were sad when the season ended only to be shocked to find out there is no fall Season 3 we were so looking forward to. This show was fun and brilliant and I rarely watch network tv – what the heck are they thinking? Perhaps, just perhaps, instead of firing the show and it’s actors and writers the network cluster should take a look at those responsible for not publicizing this show with the recognition it deserved. I had no idea this show… Read more »
the people that cancel these excellent shows should be cancelled from their jobs. give the show a chance to succeed. Seinfeld was not successful at first, but look how that turned out. Far too many good shows that are not sex based have been cancelled. lets get rid of the sex based shows that lack creativity and originality and keep these shows like the Neighbors that are creative and original.
Agree!
I am very disappointed! it seems all the good sitcoms always get canceled.
i was just setting up my fall tv recordings and discovered The Neighbors has been canceled!!! It saddens me to see this show cut as it is truly a zany comedy series that the whole family can sit down and enjoy!!! It ranks up there with Mork and Mindy of yesteryear!!! not like the other garbage that ABC has on their ABC FAMILY channel that is but teenage smut!!! They should not call it the FAMILY channel!! And Suburgatory also?!!! What are they thinking?!!! I’m afraid to see what else ABC had cancelled!!! I may not be watching ABC anymore.… Read more »
I loved this show! Please consider putting it back on for a season three.
This was a great family show, we always looked forward to it on Friday nights and that was our family time. We were all disappointed about the cancellation. This show always was funny and I don’t know how some of these other shows stay on air longer.
Dear people of ABC TV, I very much enjoyed watching the Neighbors, myself and my family are very disappointed that it will not be continued for season three. I don’t want to put up with this crap so you must talk to the head guy in the suit and get decisions made right, if you choose not to do this therefore you guys suck,…a lot.
I am french and my girlfriend and I are great fans of the show. She will be very disappointed when I tell her the show is cancelled 🙁
We were so curious abbout what was going to happen next…
I’m very upset about the cancellation! I look forward to watching this every Friday. We actually purchased the first season and will not delete season 2 from our DVR until we are able to purchase it as well. It is a very cleaverly written show, one of the few the whole family can enjoy together.
I am not happy it is cancelled. It was a really great family show that we could all enjoy. My grandson loves it. He will be so disappointed. He watches the episodes over and over again. My husband likes it and he doesn’t like much on tv. I would not have cancelled it.
This was the best tv show. I do not know why they cancelled it
