While The Neighbors didn’t attract a large audience in its first season, ABC decided to renew it and move the show to Friday nights. Will viewers make the move as well. Will the ratings be good enough to ensure a third season or will the series be cancelled instead? We shall see.
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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you still like The Neighbors TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love this series, and will be so sad if it get dropped. It’s clever and witty, it has good dialogue, interesting and unique situations and it’s geared for intelligent viewers. Why is it only the 18-29 demographic that counts anyway? They don’t spend a lot of money and they don’t watch a lot of television anymore anyway because they are glued to their handheld devices. ( where they watch shows without commercials and without being counted into the viewing numbers) I’m so very tired of my opinions not being considered valid, because I do watch television, I do have… Read more »
I agree that the Friday slot was not good for this show. My family also ALWAYS dvr’s it and watches it the next day or over the weekend. We were floored and saddened to hear it was to be cancelled 🙁 it is hard to find good lighthearted FAMILY oriented comedy and this really fit all of our comedic senses from the 8 yr olds up through to my old 46 yr old humor. There was something for everyone. I also liked that it used the old fashioned lesson to be learned formula to give the episodes purpose and meaning.… Read more »
Renew! It’s clever, clean and downright fabulous!
LOVE THIS SHOW!! So clever and self-deprecating; MOVE IT OFF FRIDAY, ABC!!!
So tired of the good shows that I love be axed. This show is so funny. We look forward to it every Friday. It seems the networks don’t give anything a chance. Rake is another new favorite that apparently is gone too. Sigh. Sick of reality, dancing, and singing shows while clever ones like The Neighbors lose out.
Good show. Very entertsuning. Hope to see it for another season
My whole family loves this show! Friday night is a tough time slot but we always DVR it and watch the next day. Don’t get rid of this show, it is hysterical, the writing is clever and it is so unlike other comedies on prime time. We love how the show has poked fun at itself, please don’t cancel it! At the very least please move it to another channel- our household will follow it.
I love this show my mom and I watch it every Friday night I hope they get a 3rd season
We love the show; unlike most sitcoms it is not predictable. The little side comments are clever and the musical numbers are fabulous. The characters have all depth and wit and the special guests just add a new “dimension” to the scripts. What ratings aren’t lifted by a new baby…..a girl, named Casey Stengel or Babe Ruth? The possibilities are endless.
I love the show!! It’s fun. The writing is fresh and clever. I would be disappointed if they cancelled it!
Please don’t cancel the show. It’s funny and entertaining and I enjoy it. Love the dynamics between the Bird-Kersees and the Weavers and the resulting chaotic and often heartwarming moments that make you laugh and give you warm fuzzies.
My family and I love this show. We hope it returns next season.
There are so few true family friendly shows left for those of us who want to shelter our kids from sex and violence. PLEEEEEASE keep The Neighbors on the air. The whole family can watch it together. It’s clever and funny. We love this show.

My husband & I love the show. Clever writing, great acting. Love the way they crash the 4 the wall.
