This viewer is less and less inclined to......


......watch any new shows next Fall. My heart is just not into it anymore. To not support and promote a show as witty and cleverly written as The Neighbors is a travesty in sitcom land. I know the networks are promoting new shows all the time and younger audiences, which is fine, go right ahead but when they're presented with a show as excellent as The Neighbors was and to not declare a second season when most successful sitcoms were being given second seasons and then when they finally agree to grant a second season, move it to Friday nights, was a huge slap in the face. It was if ABC was telling - okay we'll renew your quirky show about aliens but don't expect us to pay any attention to it.

I agree...its unbelievable what they put on tv these days that gets multiple seasons. Do we really need multiple reality shows on building cars or people thrown out into the wilderness to survive for set amount of days?

Yup, I imagine those shows are much easier to film and cheaper, there will always be people willing to make idiots of themselves on national TV.

I see my pal veggie posted but I can't see his comments, lol.

I'll miss you, The Neighbors! And conversing with you Tracy!

yeah it's interesting that Veggie still stalks us on this message board even though the show is over...

I can't see what he's saying either yet he keeps trying.

ABC clearly don't know what the hell they are doing.

Look how many awful shows they green-lit and then instantly cancelled this season alone:

The wanna-be 20-something "comedies" Super Fun Night and (especially dreadful) Mixology. Killer Women sucked, the only good thing about it was Tricia Helfer's underratedly fine ass. A Christian "Cancelled" Slater show. And so on.

Their only successes seem more random miracles than great business moves, like Modern Family, The Middle and The Goldbergs. Oh, and Agents of SHIELD sucks.
