The Neighborhood

I like this show, but the EXCESSIVE use of the laugh track is making it hard to watch. The show doesn't need the laugh track, it is funny on its own. Gone are the days of filming before a live audience - Friends. This show has excellent writing and jokes. It tackles sensitive issues without getting preachy. I am finding that the laugh track is louder than the dialogue - why??? People are smart enough to know when something is funny, just because there is a laugh track doesn't make it funny, just annoying. So PLEASE stop using the laugh track. Not every joke needs the laugh track, let people watch the show and laugh at the parts they think is funny.

It's actually pretty good. Finally another family show that isn't a police show, reality show or hospital show.

In the first 10 mins of pilot, I wanted to give 1 star. Give it time, it will stick.

The show has a great potential. By 3rd or 4th .. You will start loving it and get the idea ..

Just take a chance...

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.

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.
