TV show description:
This sitcom revolves around an All-American family who ends up moving into a very unusual neighborhood.
Marty Weaver (Lenny Venito) just wants the best for his wife Debbie (Jami Gertz) and their three kids; Amber (Clara Mamet), Max (Max Charles), Abby (Isabella Cramp). That’s why he’s moves them to Hidden Hills — a New Jersey gated community that has its own golf course. Marty is certain that their new home will be a dream come true — until they meet the neighbors.
The residents of Hidden Hills are a little different to say the least. Larry Bird (Simon Templeman) introduces himself as the leader of the community. Then, he presents his wife, Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Toks Olagundoye) and their two sons, Dick Butkus (Ian Patrick) and Reggie Jackson (Tim Jo).
As Debbie and Marty try to make sense of their weird neighbors, they discover that the entire Hidden Hills community is comprised of aliens from the planet Zabvron. It turns out the Zabvronians have been holed up in Hidden Hills for the past 10 years, awaiting instructions from their home world. The Weavers are the first humans who have ever lived amongst them.
At first, the Weavers are ready to head for the hills but the aliens seem harmless enough. So, they decide to stay and help their new neighbors adapt to life on our confusing planet.
As the Weavers and the aliens face the struggles of everyday life together, they discover that some things — the ups and downs of marriage, the desire to be a good parent and raise a happy family — are universal. The Weavers also realize they’ve found an ally in the family next door — even if they do cry out of their ears.
Episode #44 — There Goes the Neighbors’ Hood
Larry learns that he is pregnant and makes a decision about returning home or staying with the rest of the Zabvronians. Meanwhile, Reggie must also decide if he wants to stay himself or turn human, and the families see two new visitors arriving at the neighborhood (Candace Cameron and Scott Weinger reunite from Full House to guest star).
First aired: April 11, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like The Neighbors TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I am scarred for life, this show was like family and I laughed, I hardly ever laugh at American humour. Remember the episode when the Weavers thought their children had been prematurely aged. I could not stop laughing, watched it twice will probably always remember it, recommended it to friends. And you spend money on reality shows making more useless celebrities, there are too many useless celebrities already. Good God you cant move without falling over a magazine with some contrived worthless story. Spare my family a thought and bring it back. I thought it was on break and I… Read more »
LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT, IF GIVEN A BETTER SPOT IT WILL BE A HIT! PLEASE
KEEP IT ON THE AIR!
Are you guys crazy, here am I trying to find out what happens between Reggie Jackson and Amber and you CANCELLED IT!!!!. It is funny and good to watch for all the family, all my extended family watch it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU bring it backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Love the show! We would follow it to any time slot.
genuinely funny!!!!
refreshingly different than all the shows that portray evil and goriness
We think the TV show “The Neighbors” is great! We have been waiting for it to come back. Hope you do so.
I LOVE this show! Innocent fun. Just Charming. Funny!
I appreciate this series because it addresses topical issues in a back handed manner, through the eyes of aliens. Their viewpoints show a lot of clarity even though they may have not fully understood why. It is a quality show that uses humor to represent two sides of the coin.
I put the show on today (we put it on the DVR) only to see anti Fox New and Pro-Obama jokes.
PLEASE – I watch comedies to GET AWAY from the news and you just pile it back on me. Partisan and Very hateful left-wing propaganda is NOT appreciates.
Don’t really care of you cancel it or not, we no longer record it or watch. Your writer ruined a good show by needing to include their personal left wing views.
What the heck are you talking about?
As long as they play politics and bash conservatives I’ll stop watching them. I don’t watch TV to hear propaganda. So I choose to turn them off, and I choose to ask others who believe in unedited speech to do the same.
I LOVE THIS SHOW, IN A WORD-FUNNY. ABC MUST GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO
BUILD A BASE
Agree!
Agree
Oops I meant to sy, shame on NBC!
I seriously hope ABC stays with this show. It is just as good as In The Middle, Modern Family and Suburgatory, but in a different way. Please do NOT be like NBC and pull off one of your best shows because you don’t know where to place it ( hence The New Normal, shame on CBS) and shame shame on you ABC for moving them from the Wednesday line-up and putting in sub par show in its replacement. You were so damn proud of yourselves when the critics came around and then you hype us up with Fun Night with… Read more »
This show is quite hilarious! The subtext, the way they “break the fourth wall” often. Very funny show. And, Toks Olagundoye as Jackie Joyner is just BRILLIANT! Her facial expressions alone have me rolling on the floor! Great show, great cast.
Love the humor of the show! It is cleverly written and enjoyable to watch.
Please keep this show on the air. We (my husband, our teenage daughter & myself) began enjoying it with the first episode last season. As someone else said above, in the vein of those 60’s family comedies with featured “aliens”, this is a show with funny and clever references in its writing and dialogue. Both the adult and younger actors are fun to watch, as these two families from two very different places become friends, and learn about each others’ truly strange customs and ways of relating with one another. This is a warm, yet not heavy-handed, funny family show… Read more »
one of few actually funny shows
Bring it back!!
This is a funny, silly delight show.
