What happens

The Neighbors is an American game show. It aired on ABC from December 29, 1975 to April 9, 1976. It included five female neighbors as contestants, who were asked gossip questions about each other. Regis Philbin co-hosted the show with Jane Nelson, and Joe Seiter was the announcer. It was produced by Bill Carruthers. The show aired at 2:30pm, replacing Showoffs, in a scheduling shuffle with Let's Make a Deal and Rhyme and Reason. However, it was beaten by soap operas Guiding Light on CBS, and The Doctors on NBC. The game show was part of Fred Silverman's plan to align ABC's daytime image. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
