The Neighbors
A down-to-earth family comedy.
Created by Dan Fogelman
On ABC
A warm, playful family sitcom that uses alien neighbors as a vehicle for exploring universal domestic themes in a gated-community setting.
When the Weavers move to a gated community in New Jersey, they discover that the entire neighborhood is comprised of aliens from the planet Zabvron. But as the Weavers and the aliens face the struggles of everyday life together, they discover that some things -- the ups and downs of marriage, the desire to be a good parent and raise a happy family -- are universal. Intergalactic, even.
