Not something I could ever imagine watching, but what a bunch of wusses. I can't imagine there is anything wrong with this, and if there is there shouldn't be. Everyone was agreed to it, so where is the problem. While I am happy that another reality show won't be around, I am unhappy that whiny groups managed to get validation.

I'm not surprised that ABC cancelled this show.

Mostly because ABC managed to p*** off almost every racial and ethnic group possible with Welcome To My Neighborhood. ABC could have faced serious lawsuits from everyone except the kitchen sink, that's to be sure.

ABC should have cancelled the show. Rotten concept. Surprised Fox didn't come up with this one.

They must be eating humble pie. Afterall, ABC advertised this show pretty heavily.

The premise of that show sucked ass. I'm glad they dropped that piece of shit.

Funny, I saw a promo for this show as late as last night. I guess ABC's Detroit affiliate didn't get the memo.

...and be handed an expensive piece of property...at no charge. I'm sure whichever minority was cost a large sum of money is thankful someone was looking out for them.

Sure. Keep thinking that.

What channel is having the show where the punk family moves in? I thought this looked lame, until I read this thread.
