The ABC comedy, as it turns out, is far from being the worst new show.

I really can't understand the onslaught of negative feedback this show received before it even aired. And what made me chuckle at everyone being so absolutely certain this show was crap - including many on this board - is that no one would bother to say WHY it's bad. I haven't heard a single constructive criticism. Instead everyone was just stumbling over themselves to invent new metaphors describing the worst of the worst.

The pilot wasn't what I'd call terrible nor was it anything special either. The subsequent weeks have definitely shown improvement. It's not perfect and probably never will be. But I've gotten some genuine laughs and it's fairly unique compared to other comedies in production. So I'll keep watching until it's either cancelled or the creative well runs dry.

I like the Neighbors the first show was nothing special but, the show has improved imo. It's sort of like a cross between the Beverly Hillbillies and Mork & Mindy.

The ABC alien sitcom suffered early poor reviews but has turned itself around as season one has gone on.

I like the show and they've had some pretty funny episodes so far. The one where Marty Weaver tries to teach Larry & Jackie (the aliens) to drive a car had me laughing out loud. But I suppose not everyone likes this type of comedy.

ABC should rerun this show during the summer. I haven't watched it but I'd like to check it out.

It has its' charm. The alien wife is a hottie.

I sampled it when it first came on last fall, and made it through the pilot and most of the first episode and then turned it off because it was so bad.

I thought that this turkey would be cancelled almost immediately, and not only was it not cancelled, it got a second season.
