Oh "Neighbors From Hell", how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways:
#1- The characters are all clichéd. The father is an unbelievably stupid oaf, the mother is always drinking, the daughter thinks she's the center of the universe, the son is just like the father, the dog talks, and I guess as an added bonus there's the flamboyant British character whose either the youngest or the oldest of the family (in this case the oldest). Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, Family Guy. Although it would make sense, considering this show was created by the same studio that created Family Guy as well. BUT GIVE ME SOMETHING I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE!
#2- The jokes are clichéd as well. Good lord, can someone please write some jokes that actually make me laugh? Plain bad jokes, I can handle. It's the bad jokes that seem so forced and clichéd that I can't stand (Just watch the part where the neighbor is talking about her dog and the late, late show. So unfunny, it was embarrassing). This is why I watch South Park, because in that show every joke is new and fresh.
#3- Marjoe from next door. I didn't think it was possible for one character to make me completely hate a show, but you won't hear me saying that again. Marjoe is very annoying in every way: annoying voice, annoying mannerisms, and annoying personality. I really do hate her and I might reconsider giving this show another chance if they killed her off (And yes, I realize that her personality is supposed to be ironic and satirical, but I still can't stand it.).
I am sorry to say that I respect every actor/actress in this show less now that they have appeared in this. Will Sasso, Molly Shannon, and Patton Oswalt: I like your work and I think you all are very funny, but the writers are holding you back. Either get new writers so then you might seem funnier than you are at the moment or quit and put this God-forsaken show out of its misery. I give this monstrosity a 2/10, and the only thing keeping it from becoming a 1/10 (there is no 0 on the voting scale unfortunately) is Kurtwood Smith's character, the only remotely funny character in the whole bunch. But one show cannot sustain itself on the comical voice-over of Mr. Smith. Like I said before, either get new writers or abandon ship, because either way something needs to change.
