* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An earlier version of ''The Neighbors'' is known to exist, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX6px3ZsOwg with a pilot episode from 2007]] - carrying the similar characters (with some actors reprising their roles in the pilot), storylines and settings, but with a better production effort. Considering the quality compared to 2015's Neighbors, it seemed like Tommy [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot wasted a perfectly okay sitcom]].
** Original synopsis for the series mentions that "Princess Penelope creates a commotion after she witnesses the ghost of her uncle Prince Charles", and [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3432810/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast IMDb cast list]] has Creator/RobertAxelrod as Prince George. Neither prince shows up in the series (despite Prince George [[CoversAlwaysLie appearing on the front cover]], a billing in the end credits and even appearing on the DVD version of the condo shot), though there is a remark that Penelope's uncle is a ghost.
