    Is it just me or is @TheNeighborhood simply "All In The Family" in reverse? Not very funny in today's world.

    First, I absolutely hate the canned laughter. If something's funny, let it stand on it's own. I was hoping for inspired writing, but that wasn't the case. I was hoping for a modern day reverse "Jeffersons" with beacomparable wit and bite. It didn't happen in this episode. I hope it gets better because the premise is great.

    I had hopes for this show. I like the performers and there's plenty of potential in the situation. But the show is rife with overly broad racial humor, and the characters spend more time worrying about each other's attitudes than they do in trying to get to know each other. Disappointing.

    I feel like we may be judging this show too harshly! This show I thought was pretty funny! I really like all the cast in it especially Marcel Spears as Marty. He carried the show for me and that's crazy when you look at all the talent surrounding the newcomer!! I think this show is going to evolve into a great show to watch with the family!

I for sure will be tuning in to see if the show truly stands out!… Expand

    Wow. Viewers and critics alike are putting this show through the meat grinder! I don't know, I like it. It's a refreshing change from the usual and typical story lines where the lead characters are clashing with their intrusive, alcoholic parents, while trying to raise their "special" children whilst trying to keep the flame in their marriage burning.

It's a refreshing change from the usual and typical story lines where the lead characters are clashing with their intrusive, alcoholic parents, while trying to raise their "special" children whilst trying to keep the flame in their marriage burning. I think this show has a lot of potential and I'm curious to see how it progresses. Cedric the Entertainer plays a good part in this show. I also personally find it relatable. I grew up in a city just west of Toronto in the '90's where I was one of the few white people, and the rest of the population was primarily black or Indian. There was really a multicultural boom in that district at that time and I really GET where this show is coming from. I moved in to a neighborhood that was primarily black and it wasn't easy. I was the minority... and they let me know it too. Nothing I did was good enough and I was always an outcast and always got picked on no matter where I went or what I did. Ultimately, The Neighborhood is a comedy, so they have to keep it light and fluffy and family friendly, but the premise of the show is very real and not only can I relate to that, but I can appreciate it as well.… Expand

    Really exciting is the idea of ​​social differences within a current context. Taking into account that it does not take one or more outside to solve such exhausting problems, unlike our current TV shows. Like sex and drugs ...

    Not great but Cedric the Entertainer, Tichina Arnold, and Beth Behrs make it watchable.

    CBS has taken major steps to make its new fall series considerably more diverse than last time. The Neighborhood hits that mark, but also marches to the same-old/same-old sitcom beats.

    It has political points too, about diversity and unity, preservation and gentrification, which are simultaneously emphasized and danced around. Stripped down to its essentials, it’s a familiar sort of comedy about a person who would like to be left alone and the person who won’t leave him alone. ... If Dave can seem too weird to be true, the Butler family represents a dynamic so familiar to situation comedy as to seem practically real.

    Perceptiveness alone will not carry a sitcom; it's got to have jokes. And The Neighboorhood relies far too much on the novelty of a black character spouting edgy lines that we're more accustomed to hearing from a white mouth.
