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?
Absolutely love the fun that is The Neighbors. Give it at least one more season.
I love this show. It is so refreshing and happy to watch. No blood and guts like a lot of other shows. Please don’t cancel this show.
I love this show. It is funny and very different. Acting ids really great. Please don’t cancel.
The first season was terrific. This season is dull and boring. Amber is no longer the snarky teenager saying over the top comments to her parents. Dick no longer plays a meaningful role in the show. Larry is no longer under Jackie’s thumb……his being “Jackie whipped” was hysterical. In fact, Jackie has a much lesser role this season which is a shame.Reggie is too human and Debby’s 2 younger kids re rarely seen. Larry is over bearing and snug………………….the whole thing is dull, dull, dull. I loved it last season….they must have gotten all new writers.
Love this show. Clever. The comment about saying something this season…… Very funny.
why cancel a funny and well-written show? These actors are good at their roles. the story lines are fresh and the inside jokes are really great. My wife and I love the show, please don’t cancel it.
KEEP KEEP…its FUN TV..really fun…havent we all at one time wondered what it would be like if aliens were real…the writing is great.,the cast is perfect. .bring on another season!!
ABC : third season for The Neighbors.
I have been watching the new episodes, going well, liked the rest of the aliens being included in the storyline. Keep it up
ABC — RENEW, RENEW, RENEW! ‘The Neighbors’ is simply a funny, enjoyable, refreshing show. We all need a break from the real world:-) every now and then, don’t we? Please keep the levity going.
I love this show. Excellent writing.
Please don’t cancel. Love the show. It’s the only good show about New Jersey.
Don’t cancel the neighbors! Larry bird is Hilarious, the kids are wonderful, and the show has a lot of originality and creativity. I really like it!
LOVE THE SHOW.. It has a “3rd Rock from the Sun” vibe. I agree 10000% with the person who said “give it a better time slot” Larry Bird is hysterical, Jackie is gorgeous & I love the relationship between Amber & Reggie
I sat with friends recently, all who watch The Neighbors online, all of whom come from all over the world, all ordinary people visiting families here and there, one from Trinidad, some from different countries in Africa and Europe had spent 2 months or so in your country. The anti Obama thing is weird, the guy has made history and unlike previous ex presidents, he didn’t do it by declaring war, that’s too easy. He did it for the people in his country. So we did appreciate the pro-Obama jokes in The Neighbors. Maybe like the show you want to… Read more »
WOW are you ignorant and in command of literally no facts about the loser parked in the White House!!! He not only has kept every war going but started a few new ones…he has destroyed our economy, our medical care, our nations sovereignty , our freedoms, justice and liberty and wipes his feet on our constitution ….but hey…according to you because he’s black…that’s all good…pretty racist of you.
To Jack, This is about Neighbours, not politics. My response was because someone talked about right-wing politics in the show. As for what you commented on what I said……….. We heard all that rubbish from our American friend too. But when we asked him how Obama did this he just repeated it what you said 4x and still couldn’t tell us how Obama did these things. We all concluded that if you cant answer HOW? You are repeating propaganda. Opinions of your own have why and reasoning, propaganda does not. And you are talking like a brainwashed American, we are… Read more »
If it is not about politics WHY do the writers interject their personal views?
Look I don’t need a TV show I like turned into an anti-fox rant, or a obamacare commercial. I watch these shows to GET AWAY from all that. All they did with using the show to promote a left wing set of views is lose viewers.
Here in the UK we watch it online, so it does not matter about a time slot. Keep it online. The Walking Dead was cancelled and it came back and now its popularity across the world!! was unimagined when you cancelled it. Yes a few fixes later and a few here might help. Eg (1. too slow to get rid of the irritating Jane, it might have worked if she was not so irritating. 2. Amber should have murdered her long ago 3. No religion, my family do not care for religion in their entertainment 4. move the relationship of… Read more »
