Show Summary

ABC's The Neighbors follows the story of Debbie (Jami Gertz) and Marty Weaver (Lenny Venito) who have recently moved with their three kids to Hidden Hills, a gated community with its own golf course. It's an exclusive New Jersey community that hasn't had a house come on the market in 10 years. They soon discover that the neighbors are ... a little odd. Larry Bird (Simon Templeman) introduces himself as "leader" of this little community with wife, Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Toks Olagundoye), and their two sons, Dick Butkus and Reggie Jackson. It seems everyone in the neighborhood is named after famous athletes. Pretty soon, though, the secret's out, and the Weavers learn that the whole community is made up of aliens from the planet Zabvron. The Zabvronians have been waiting for instructions from back home for the past 10 years and this is their first encounter having humans live amongst them. Although hesitant at first, the Weavers decide the house is a dream come true so they'll stay and help the aliens adapt to life on earth. The Weavers and the aliens soon discover that the struggles of everyday life are intergalactic and they're more alike than different.

  • Great show with a wink

    10
    This show combines the homely feeling of a family show with sudden spurts of irony and sarcasm. It has quirky characters, a ridiculous story and doesn't take itself seriously. Makes for a great and very entertaining combination :-)
  • Quirky Show

    8.5
    Love this quirky show. It's fun to watch and is smarter about how the socially clumsy aliens interact with humans than any other show ever made. Love watching it and can hardly wait for it to come on every week.
  • Ugliest cast on TV

    The humans are uglier than the aliens (with the exception of Larry), who the hell was the casting director? I know they supposed to be an average family but couldn't they picked a babe as the daughter (think Modern Family) and a mother not like that.



    If they would keep the show I would fun if another family would move instead of these characters and bring more attractive actors and new plot lines.



    I literally can't think of a TV show with uglier mugs than here.



    Was interesting to watch but they should consider adding a laugh track to see what people are laughing about because i haven't laughed once.



    The problem is that the aliens are acting to human-like, like they are humans born in a nuclear bunker who resurfaced.



    I don't know if they suck at it, but the way they explain to the aliens what people do and do not is not funny, funny would be to let them into society to act strange, but there is probably little budget for that.



    There are so many funny things you can do with this setup like seeing them peeing with their nose for example, I don't know if the writers are incompetent or what but they just didn't delivered on this show, they took a good idea and they destroyed it.



    And what's up with aliens falling in love with humans. C'mon, like that would ever happen? Maybe the other way around.



    It's unlikely they'll renew this show.moreless
  • Laugh inducing!

    10
    I thought it was awful in the pilot, and then after a few weeks I caught up. I just love the humor and the silliness of the characters, and also their ways to criticize our prejudices and the absurdities in our lives. I can't get enough of it and I wish I could watch a new episode every day of the year. It's a quirky show that doesn't care what you think and it makes it lovable.moreless
  • I WANA PARTY WITH THESE NEIGHBORS!

    8.0
    Last nights episode "It has begun" was one of the best and funniest so far for this show. I was losing interest in this show, but thanks to this episode im going to continue watchin to see what "Warning" means.
