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?
This show grew on me. I really don’t want to miss what happens with Larry Birds pregnancy. This should not have been canceled.
Love this show. Bring it back.
Great show! This family was faithful to the show and watched even when they changed the night on us! BRING IT BACK!
One of the few original and funny comedies on TV now. It should be renewed!
Please put this show back on. It was very witty and with all the gruesome stuff on tv we need to laugh at silly things.
We loved this show. Very smart, original, outside-the-box funny. No laugh track, so we can decide for ourselves when to laugh, and also no laugh pauses so more stuff can be fit in. Love the references the characters make to being in a sitcom.
A loss we mourn. No replacement for this! Thanks for the two seasons anyway.
Why does ABC seem to cancel the shows that provide real comedy relief to the stress of every day life? Put The Neighbors back on a Monday , Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night.
I don’t understand what’s going on with alm these great funny sitcoms getting cancelled but something needs to re- evaluated. Bring back! Maybe if it wasn’t on Friday nights where shows go to die or something!
I really enjoy this show and now it seems to be going in a new direction which I was looking forward to. I hope another networks picks it up.
No, no, no, don’t cancel this show! Funny, good writing, great acting, wholesome! Love this show!
I LOVE this show. The 1st time we watched it was laughed out loud. (something that most sitcoms don’t normally do). I agree with so many that this show was a fun / happy sitcom that the younger and older kids could watch without the adults having to either explain stuff or cover their eyes. I hope some other network picks it up. Great Show!!!!
Should not have changed time slots. Did much more with show than I thought possible. Hope some other network picks it up
I was a good show.
Really enjoyed this show…it’s going to be missed. It was a fun 1/2 hour comedy that made the crap in this world go away after a long day of work – the writing was funny – the characters were funny – why cancel it?? Is there a chance it can move over to ABC Family??
