The Neighborhood

I think a lot of people are missing the point of this show, that despite the cultural differences between black and white people at the end of the day we all want the same thing, the best for our families. It is done with humour and intelligence and quite frankly I'm glad to see it on TV. The juxtaposition of Cedric and Max's tense relationship against Tichina and Beth's open relationship is great. I especially liked the second episode where the different approaches to child rearing were depicted. It showed that sometimes a different approach is needed in order to get the best out of your child.

Aside from the laugh track I really enjoy the show. The character of Marty is great as he stops by to observe the worst moments of others.

I am just now watching the series and I'm so glad I made it past the pilot episode. When I heard the laugh track I was very tempted to move on to something else. That would have been a mistake. Granted I am only on the first season, The Neighborhood is funny

Schmidt (yes, he will always be Schmidt from New Girl to me, lol) and Cedric play off of each other so well. Then of course we have PAM (sorry yall, I get stuck on my fave characters) who is obviously funny too. The Neighnorhood is well written and highly entertaining.

One thing I wish though is that there was no laugh track. I hate them so much.

Yet it's something different & the cast is good, but ... remember back when actors started by being cast in commercials ?

Now whole shows are the freakin' commercial, amazon this, Geico that, Alexa that, sitting back on the porch akwardly just to showcase the Nike Air Max...

Talk about selling out, i'd care less if the show didn't go for hard-hitting subjects, but hey, it's how it is. Gotta keep the shareholders fat & happy.

It is obvious that most of the reviewers so far on this forum only watched 10 minutes of the first episode. There are 4 episodes out there now and it is a decent sitcom. The laugh track is the biggest problem with this show, makes it hard to watch. Why even need this anymore, in 2018? The best sitcoms out there right now have no fake audience laughing at every single word like this one. The actors in this sitcom are all good. Take out the laugh track, hire a few better writers, and keep it going. Good sitcoms have been hard to find for years now, it is refreshing that there are a few out there now.
