Synopsis:
Award-winning Stacy Keach Guest Stars
"Thanksgiving is for the Bird-Kersees" - Debbie wants her family's first Thanksgiving at their new home to be different from Thanksgivings past, so she convinces Marty to un-invite his parents and decides to invite Larry, Jackie, Reggie and Dick over for the holiday instead. Unfortunately, despite his promise to Debbie, Marty caves to parental pressure and confirms his mother and father will be on hand for Turkey Day. Meanwhile, after learning the meaning of the holiday, Dick secretly invites Jackie's estranged sisters, Venus and Serena, to make an appearance. Thanksgiving Day is anything but normal with the crazy alien neighbors, alien and human in-laws, and the Weavers all under one roof, on "The Neighbors," WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14 (8:30-9:00 p.m. ET) on ABC.

Does anyone watch this show? I've watched two episodes so far, and they were bizarre and funny enough for me to consider watching more. I was surprised that I didn't hate it, and actually liked some aspects of it.

I have watched every week, and have totally enjoyed every episode. My favorite character is Larry Bird and his constant stick-up-his-a$$ attitude, plus his little asides about how much contempt he really has for this planet.

Last night was pretty good. The Sisters were funny and it was good to see Leslie Jordan from Will And Grace.
I've watched bits and pieces of this series but I'm afraid to invest in this show in case it gets shot down.

I've been watching from the beginning. Initially I wanted to really hate it based on the premise of the show. Sort of sucked me in and I also really am starting to like it. Won't say it's my favorite but have been enjoying it.

I just don't get why people are afraid to watch a show for fear it'll get cancelled. If it's funny, does it really matter?

The show got a full season order several weeks ago. It's also doing better than ABC's Tuesday comedies, but is lagging behind the other Wednesday comedies. It might not get renewed, but it'll make it the whole year.

Thanks!
Yes it matters sometimes.

I'd have that fear with a drama - invest lots of time into plot and continuous storylines, only to have it cancelled or end on a season 1 cliffhanger.
But with a sitcom, that same worry isn't there.

I'm really glad I gave this show a chance. It's just so damn weird..
