Please stop ignoring "The Neighbors" - it's a consistently good show that is on the bubble and may be too late to save because sites like your didn't even give it the time of day!!!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH EUROPEANS!?!?!?!?

(So are the Playstation 3 & 4 adds just as bad...!?)

I have been very, very fascinated in this since I read "Vanishing Point" which takes place in that house after most to planet's population vanishes...and it turns out that the house's construction isn't crazy or nonsensical...but exists across multiple parallel realities - which children born after the vanishing can
