The only question I had after watching this hour long show last night was "Why!" Why did they make this show, why did I watch it, and why is anybody going to watch the remaining episodes.
"There Goes the Neighborhood" takes place a few miles from where I live in Metro Atlanta. It takes place in Kennesaw, in a nice development called Legacy Park. I drove by and saw the wall after it started getting talked about in the Atlanta newspaper. It pits family vs. family and the last family standing stands to win a cool $250,000. The families were blocked off from the world and all extras taken away from them. it's a good premise, but CBS fails to pull this reality show off.
The ratings were average, it came in third on Sunday Night TV behind a rerun of "Family Guy", and a preseason football game. That doesn't look good for this show in the coming weeks when real football starts, and people wrap up their Summer vacations heading into Labor Day. I haven't read one even semi favorable review of this show, and I have to wonder if all of the remaining episodes will be shown on network television. I won't be wasting anymore of my time tuning in.
