Why is this show still on? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I managed an episode and a half of this series and cringed at the characters, the story, everything. I read from critics that this show really blew and damn if they were not right.

This show is one that should have died in October or November but is still on. Did it get better or do people like bad TV now?

It's really not funny at all. But, neither are the majority of new sitcoms.

I'm really surprised it hasn't been cancelled yet.

Call me crazy but I actually like The Neighbors. I haven't missed a first-run episode since day one, and for me that's a huge accomplishment. I've only been able to do that with a selet few shows (Desperate Housewives, 2 Broke Girls, Scandal, Whitney, and Malibu Country).

I'm hoping that it's picks up for at least one more season. Also scares me that Whitney could be canceled---another highly underrated sitcom.

Another one of my current favorites is Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, it's probably on the chopping block, too.

I like the Neighbors, it was slow at first now it seems to be picking up steam.

It was the best new sitcom of the season. It's funny, and unlike a lot of modern show actually shows some heart (without being treacly). That's why it's still on.
