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?
Please bring the Neighbors back!!! It was one of my favorite shows. I was really looking forward to season 3!
I loved the show. It was quirky, smart and sweet. C’mon, we have so much junk for everyone else. Bring it back! !!!!
I am really sad to see this show go. I hope someone at ABC has a heart and takes a second look at The Neighbors and does what Fox did with Family Guy and give it another shot. The Neighbors was a fresh, gritty, truly funny comedy it was refreshing to watch, it had me waiting all week just to see what would happen next. The third season seemed to open up to some new ideas bringing more humans in. Perhaps you should try playing with the time and day to up the rating. I really hope more people respond… Read more »
I agree loved the show so did my kids I wish they would d bring it back there are worse shows on TV n they make they always take the good ones off.
Fricken ABC beancounters stink… I wouldn’t think they ever had a brilliant idea in their lives and probably think that “The Goldburgs” is a sensational bit of comedy…this show should be brought back just because of the pure fun it accomplished. The changing time slot didn’t help. Good clean funny show.
My family was just checking to see when this show was starting up only to learn it was canceled. What a shame, all of us from 7 to 44 loved it!
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting all summer for this show to start up again, out of all the shows i watch, this is the only one i liked enough to do a google search for to find out when the next season would start.
**** ,was looking forward to season 3 and the kids loved it,
it was a bit of fun on tv for a change .
I want another season!! I can imagine the images some families gathering together, watching the show and laughing together while reading the comments. Its a shame my family can’t because we’re not in the US.. LOL just LOVE the humour and the sweet families. It’s my favourite American TV show.
Was just looking up date of season 3 premiere and an SO upset to read that it had been canceled!! Looked forward to it every week-made my family laugh! Bad decision-so many other shows that should have gotten the boot instead 🙁
Loved the show. It was a fun concept with great characters. There is nothing else like it to compare. Very disappointed it won’t be returning.
Funny show, bad decision
Really enjoyed watching this show. It was light and funny and bizarre at times but truly enjoyed watching it with the whole family. Sad to see it gone, perhaps a series finale?
A brilliant show! Loved all the actors and characters, which is very rare…
I really enjoyed this show! It was fun, simple and sweet. Please bring it back, I have no desire to watch shows about mean snarky people being mean and snarky to each other…unless it’s Jackie Joyner Kersey trying to be a Real Housewife! LOL
it was a good fun clean funny show should bring it back on finish it out at least I hate being left in the dark finished is out
