It’s got a crazy premise but The Neighbors has a great timeslot. Will it be cancelled because of low ratings or could it actually survive to see a second season? We shall see.
The first season of The Neighbors typically airs Wednesday nights at 8:30pm on the ABC network. The sitcom’s cast includes Lenny Venito, Jami Gertz, Clara Mamet, Max Charles, Isabella Cramp, Simon Templeman, Toks Olagundoye, Ian Patrick, and Tim Jo.
Below are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if The Neighbors is going to be cancelled or renewed for a second season.

Overall, The Neighbors did well for ABC but, based on the negative reviews and comments, one has to think that there’s a very good chance the numbers will take a serious nosedive in week two. We shall see.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like The Neighbors TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
please please tell abc to keep it going, keep it just as funny and morally clean
i enjoy it!
love the neighbors! clean and funny!
Please PLEASE renew this series! It is smart and witty and fun. I am so tired of having such well written and thoughtful shows taken off the air to only be replaced by another crime drama…we get it. Crime. Bring me aliens!
I like the neighbors. It is clever and wholesome. I also like it better than Modern Family. I hope it is renewed.
I absolutely hope neighbors is back for another season, it’s the best comody on tv right now I even like it better than modern family. It’s sweet, clean and has family values, unlik so many on tv today.
absolutely wonderful and sweet show. every episode has some sort of endearing message to it. love the characters and the writing. if this doesnt get renewed, i have lost all hope for good television.
Great comedy and witty writing. As usual ABC does not know how to package or promote shows that are out of the box that do not include bare breasts and vulgar language. This show can actually make you laugh without using either. It will be ABC’s and our loss if they cancel this show. They should promo the funny lines and bring attention to the show. We have enough trash on TV. I just need a few laughs after a long day to unwind. If you need sex wouldn’t be novel to look to your wife not the TV.
Our whole family loves this show and personally it is my favorite sitcom I have ever seen! I would be devastated if it got cancelled! Order a season 2! They just need more advertisement!
Please renew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would like to see 2nd season. Enjoyed premise.
The Neighbors is the best TV comedy I’ve seen. I watch it on Hulu or on the ABC website since I don’t watch network television. Please, ABC, renew this one!!!
ABC execs are a binch of fools. This is a great show that we look forward to on Wednesdays . Every time we get into one of their good shows, they cancel it.
I’m getting tired of them changing every few months and about to boycott them all together….. that might happen after they cancel Red Widow on Sundays
Great show, I would hate to see it go. Well written and the cast is fantastic. Hope they keep it on the air!!!,
Love this show! Our whole family has never laughed so hard! Please keep this show! It is witty, funny and imaginative. Finally a great TV show!
My family and I really enjoy the show. I hope ABC renews it.
