Synopsis

When the Weavers move to a gated community in New Jersey, they discover that the entire neighborhood is comprised of aliens from the planet Zabvron. But 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. Intergalactic, even.

Reviews

Ui'Neil Sandidge The Neighbors is a premise people need. The cast is very funny cast. All of them. The writers though very talented met their limits at how to create such an amazing and different take on concepts we are all somehow familiar with in a fresh view. (Mork & Mindy, Perfect Strangers, ALF, Third Rock, Thirty Rock, My Teacher is an Alien adventure books, an aisle of movies, plus Kyle XY.)1. The Fastfood & Coffee Shop jobs should only be a few episodes. ~ When I left an office job to make a sudden move to a major city, the work I wanted did not happen in the first month, so at the end of that month I started 3 Jobs at the same time. Local Aliens aren't lazy. They are hard working. McDonalds (Breakfast shift), Applebee's (Lunch and Dinner, Serving/Trucking/Prep/Dishes, but only for no-shows and with dinner), and at a Movie Theater (Every Thursday, from 10am-12pm). ~ I then became a traveling Apprentice Plumber, then an Electrician, and Went back to College after that. Two previous times in my life I have worked 80- 90Hours a week, once for a Month (2Bookstores, one on campus, the other BooksAMillion; and the third job at a Fish place) and another for 6 Months waiting for medical benefits to activate at the new job before quitting the first. Model Aliens after Foreign Nationals and our own American people who know how to work when they don't have money. Asia is filled with people who borrow money and because of Yakuza or Loan Sharks work hard to pay it back rather than go bankrupt because real physical harm might happen.2. Celestial ordained love should win. ~ Don't conform enjoy arranged marriage, it is a hell of a lot less taxing on both the emotions and the wallet, with a much lower divorce rate! They are aliens, so quit selling the American myth of struggling for love and being single as you roam the earth to find your other half. Study Census.gov sometime. The Bible states who ban getting married until after 18, and shun arranged marriages, are also the US States with the highest teen 15-19 pregnancy rates. Except for Utah. The Mormons are doing something right. http://www.livescience.com/5728-teen-birth-rates-higher-highly- religious-states.html3. If you can't follow others, and have personality strength, you should find a way to lead yourself.4. Being your own boss is the most surprising adventure life has to offer.Here is what I wrote to ABC. ~ http://abc.go.com/feedbackThe Neighbors should be saved and get some advertising. This Show can really grow. The lyrics to the theme song need to be changed. Some really funny ideas or insightful ideas get written into every show. But there needs to be writers with a social view where smart people don't get stuck doing fast food jobs for more than college. The Aliens residents should be more capable and insightful like international student aliens. Even if the show were riffing the yuppy think they know it all people in the service industry, those people still have some amazing conversations. And this show totally misses the political and social order angle of the lifestyle it mocks.The writers should revisit the entrepreneurial aspect and place the family on a track of success, relating to running your own business where they learn about how to be successful as business owners. People who work for themselves are a little nutty and desperate to succeed. So the writers will never run out of material.
UnoFlickChick I agree with a previous review I read. This show probably isn't as popular as it should be, which is a shame. The show is quirky, funny and is just getting it's momentum, if given the chance. If I was to give a quick analogy of this show, it's kind of like, "My Family" meets "Third Rock from the Sun".Although not quite at the level of the afore mentioned shows, I think it has plenty of potential to become one of the more interesting little cult comedy shows out there. Unfortunately, we now exposed to such a mass of unoriginal rubbish, which sadly seems to thrive. So let's hope this potential little gem is given the chance it deserves to prove itself.The show is still getting it's legs, so I hope it continues to gain confidence and originality. If it does that, it may make it beyond a second season and start to gain more of an audience.Worth a watch if you're looking for something new and off the cuff.
fallenfilm Just awful in every sense of the word. This shoddily produced and horribly written turd of a show makes "Third Rock from the Sun" look like high art. The only place in time that this show would remotely work would be following the rubber-suited, live action dud "Dinosaurs!" from the early nineties. Whatever writing staff that conceptualized this junk should be fired first thing. It's ironic, in a sense, that the studio managed to follow one of the best shows on TV (Modern Family) with this B-movie reject of a program. Clearly all the positive reviews for this show were written by cast, crew, friends and family, for there's no way an impartial viewer could possibly make it through the duration of an episode without immediately changing the channel.
Vero Valla This show was strategically placed between to great shows, and I can only assume people didn't bother to change the channel while waiting for the next show, that is what I think explains the renewal of this show. I made the mistake of not taking it off the DVD recording list so I contributed to this nonsense I guess. I really tried to give this show a chance by watching 4-5 episodes while doing my morning dishes. I did not find any humor or anything unique that had not been done. I just don't understand the good reviews I really thought this was the worst thing I have ever seen. The constant naive behavior of the aliens was over done, the names of the aliens were ridiculous, there sex scenes were silly. I hate to say it also but I can't stand looking at the teenage daughter Amber, she reminds me of Brooke Burns character on Shallow Hal OK that was mean
