The Neighbors (2012–2014)
6/10
Rough start, getting better
17 October 2012
The first episode was really bad; boring, distasteful, and somewhat annoying.

On to the second episode. This episode felt as if the writers were trying too hard to juice out the weakest of chuckles from the audience.

For some odd reason I decided to give the show one more chance, and i'm glad i did. The third episode had me laughing uncontrollably. I hope this show stays around, it seems like it could gain momentum and be a great show.

The whole bit where the aliens have names of athletes is entertaining and funny at moments but gets quite annoying after a while.

And lastly, the main reason I wanted to write this review: The alien child. First off, his name is Dick Buttkiss which was never funny and is too annoying. I couldn't tell for half the first episode whether it was a girl or a boy. His hair is absolutely ugly. He has a sickening face and i am not a mean person but he annoys me to no end. The other alien child though, Regi Jackson, is a great actor and one of my favorite characters on the show.

Overall, shaky but improving show.
