Welcome to goodbye. For eight seasons on The Neighborhood, the Butlers and the Johnsons have entertained fans with their antics and friendships. With the CBS sitcom coming to an end on May 11, audiences can expect to see that on display — and much more.
Many shows get canceled after a season airs, and the writers do not get the chance to end it the way they want to. With The Neighborhood, the writers and producers were very happy they got to control the characters’ endings.
