In 2007, Wiseau shot an original pilot episode for The Neighbors, which was never publicly released, although a trailer for it is available on YouTube.
[2] In an interview on October 19 of that year, Tim & Eric stated they were developing two television series for Wiseau.
[4] Wiseau would later claim that working with Tim & Eric failed due to their jealousy of him and their desire to be too involved.
[5] In 2011, Wiseau claimed he was working on a fifteen-episode contract with an unnamed television channel for The Neighbors.
"[8] Robert Axelrod is depicted on the poster for the show, and credited on IMDb as "Prince George", a character who is discussed but does not appear in the six released episodes.
[11] The pilot episode was first shown attached to midnight screenings of The Room at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City from September 26–28, 2014.
[12] On August 9, 2017, a post on the show's official Facebook page stated that season two would air "Later this year!!!"
Club found the production values and acting quality of The Neighbors far worse than those of The Room, and noted the unexplained presence of women in bikinis in several scenes.
Club later reviewed the first four episodes made available on Hulu Plus, and summed up the series as an "unpleasant slog" that "actually gets lazier as it progresses", ultimately giving it an F grade.
