The Neighbors - Out of the world

There are different kinds of neighbors in every locality. There is an uncle that, by any chance if the ball goes into his lawn while playing, it will never return. His lawn became the Bermuda triangle for balls. But in a show like The Neighbors, if the ball went into the neighbors lawn, it would first go through thorough examination of its atomic density, type of material and molecular mass. Just because they have never seen a peculiar object such as a ball. Being from outer space has it's perks. Let me clear it up, it is not a mistake. The neighbors really are from outer space.

Marty Weaver is just a responsible and caring father and a husband who happens to come across the locality of Hidden Hills, New Jersey, with its own golf course. I think it was the golf course which swung them off, but they thought their new home would be extraordiany. Which it was, more or less.

As they shifted, they noticed that all the other houses were inhabited by humans, well, at least who looked like humans. They start to notice that their neighbors habits are not, earthly. They travel in golf carts, the whole locality wears the same clothes as everybody else, everyday. Their names resemble famous people on earth. I think their social behavior is also taken from the magazines. It can even be that they think Justin Beiber is a good singer. There were a number of other plausible causes too.

Larry Bird, with his wife Jackie Joyner-Kersee who introduces himself as the leader of the community is the first to meet the Weavers and simultaneously break the news that they are from a planet called Zabrovan and assure the Weavers that they will experience which is never before experienced. As they are the only earthly family in the locality, Larry Bird always turns to them for advice on human psyche. Which is annoying because it feels like teaching a forty year old infant.

As the show progresses on the Weavers starts to realise that the Zabrovians are not so unpleasant to be around with, as long as they do not clap their hands twice and reveal their true form. They also realise that they are so important to their neighbors, who rely on them for practically everything. As the show progresses they realise that their decision of moving to the locality was not so bad afterall.

Don't you think I have done enough of TV shows? I think I'll do a book next time.
