‘The Neighborhood’ Fans Have Big Complaint About Series Finale.
The Neighborhood aired its last ever episode on May 11 and fans have some complaints about the series finale, with many wishing that they’d seen much more of the eagerly-anticipated double wedding.
The episode opened with the Butlers — Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer), Tina (Tichina Arnold), Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney), and Marty (Marcel Spears) — dressed in their tuxes and gowns in a room, snapping photos before the sons’ weddings to their fiances.
The Johnsons — Dave (Max Greenfield), Gemma (Beth Behrs), and Grover (Hank Greenspan) — then appeared to wish the boys good luck. Marty and Malcom’s brides — Courtney (Skye Townsend) and Mercedes (Amber Stevens West) — then entered the room. Tina turned the grooms around because she said it was bad luck to see the brides before the ceremony.
When everyone is called to the ceremony, the two boys are still standing in the corner with their hands up. They don’t know whether to move. The scene then cuts to the happy couples, already married, walking out of the Butlers’ house, ready to begin their reception.
The episode spent most of the reception having the characters say goodbye to each other, since the Johnsons were moving back to Michigan. There were no flashbacks, and there were no “X amount of years in the future” to show the couple’s lives with their kids.
Fans complained that the actual wedding ceremonies weren’t shown since the entire season was hyped up around the special event. “They spent the entire season hyping up the wedding just to not show it? Ugh! This felt like a filler episode and not the series finale #TheNeighborhood,” a fan tweeted.
“For a Series Finale, #TheNeighborhood really went out with such a plain episode. At least The Big Bang Theory and Friends had some stakes in their finales. Here? They skip the wedding and focus solely on the party and goodbyes,” another wrote.
“This finale is a little disappointing in the sense that it seems like they’ve condensed it. They didn’t even show us the wedding. For a show that’s been on 8 seasons, it’s a little lame and sad. @TheNeighborhood #TheNeighborhood,” a third said.
“Wait, I got a Black sitcom double wedding, but ain’t get to see the vows? #theneighborhood,” another tweeted.
“I just said that,” a fan replied.
Reddit users said the show should have been an hour long instead of 30 minutes. “I wish they would’ve given us an hour send off because it felt rushed. But I liked it regardless,” one fan commented.
“It felt really forced and rushed,” said another.
