The only good thing that came from this series is that Will Sasso and Molly Shannon's flailing careers are finally over.They are two people who are barely funny and only tolerable in short doses.Which explains why all their movies are terrible.Don't get me wrong, I went into this thinking it was going to be hilarious.I didn't have much faith in the stars but I was sure that Patton Oswalt and Kurtwood Smith would help the show and I was right about that last part.They are the only reason to watch this mess.They supply the only real comedy, even though I had to rewind almost every time Oswalt speaks because his character's voice is not very easy to understand.This is only the second show since Curb Your Enthusiasm that I couldn't finish and there were only ten episodes of this crap.I was actually able to muscle through ten episodes of stupid gum jokes on Curb.I'm just glad this wasn't on Comedy Central because they would have let it run for five seasons.
Don't know what the other peoples problems are but this show is actually really funny.. They just didn't understand the jokes and the point that it's suppose to be stupid. This is the best American cartoon/animation show in a long time. South Park/Family Guy/American Dad/Cleveland show all suck in comparison.
The sarcastic humor from the boss and all the racist jokes are hilarious I can't wait to see more...The only flaw is I can't see it going past 13 episodes or 1 season due the the plot line being "destroy the drill" which really shouldn't take very long.
I give it a 7/10 at the very least..Everyone should give this show a chance..It's almost as funny as God, the Devil and Bob/Drawn together...If you like those shows give this one a chance.

Despite the promo "from the studios that brought you Family Guy," this formulaic and unfunny show falls far short of Seth MacFarlane's clever work.
"Neighbors from Hell" is my signal to get up and do housework until the next show comes on. It's a weak message piece ("oil is bad") trying to fly on the coattails of the likes of Family Guy, couched in unsophisticated and sometimes even scatological humor a 10-year-old would find boring, and voiced by veteran comics who I believe are painfully aware of how poorly this thing is premised and written. What a shame.
On the upside, however, each week my house is 30 minutes cleaner than it was before!

I really wanted to like this show. The previews looked as though it could have been genuinely funny, a clever mashup of traditional family sitcom clichés and "demons on earth" craziness. Sadly, after catching an episode or two, I have to report that this is not the case. The commercials boast that NFH is produced by the studio that brought you Family Guy. However, when the similarities between the two shows are so glaring, it may not be a great idea to point that out. If you've seen one episode of Family Guy, you know who these characters are supposed to be: fat, stupid "relatable" dad; hot, sometimes-caring-and-sometimes-amoral mom; self-centered teen daughter; younger-version-of-dad son; talking dog; "wacky", flamboyantly gay and inexplicably British-accented final family member. Wow, they're all here! Even cast member Patton Oswalt, who's normally great, sounds like he's channeling Family Guy's Mr. Herbert when voicing family mutt Pazuzu. (Not that Family Guy isn't equally guilty of recycling sitcom tropes, but not usually this blatantly.) Unfortunately, the jokes and the supporting cast, which often save Family Guy from mediocrity, are not nearly as strong and produce few laughs. If there's one saving grace of the show, it's the animation, which is better than the average cartoon fare and more textured and nuanced than the "McFarlane House Style" (which I actually love, but that's not the point.) If anything, the decent animation serves to remind us of the disappointment of the other aspects of the show, and makes us wish someone took the same care and effort writing the comedy contained within. Neighbors from Hell is anything but groundbreaking, and only mildly and sporadically entertaining.
This show is not for the faint of heart. It is gross out comedy for sure but if you can handle that, it is quite thoughtful and full of hilarious pop culture references. It is about demons sent by Satan to stop a drill from striking Hell. It turns out that the demons are more normal and perhaps moral than most of the people they interact with in this Texas company town. The neighbors and co-workers at the behemoth Corporation are usually more absurd than the Hellman family, except maybe for the perverse uncle and dog like Pazuzu. Will Sasso, Molly Shannon, Patton Oswalt, et al, are great with the voice work. Its great fun and I am pleasantly surprised each with how funny it goes and as the characters grow into sensitive caring beings.
