The Neighbors

I was reading an article about the new TV pilots that the network channels will be pumping out this summer and fall and one of them caught my attention based solely on its plot outline.  Here it is:

"The Neighbors, about a family that moves into a highly desirable gated community in New Jersey only to discover that the entire neighborhood is made up of aliens disguised as humans."

After reading that sentence, it brought up way too many questions.  Why is this community highly desired?  Why is it in New Jersey?  Are the aliens also mob bosses?  What kind of aliens are they if they have to use disguises?  If the neighborhood is made up of only aliens, why would they let humans move in?  And that last question is the biggest one of all.  If the aliens have been able to create an alien-only community, what happened that caused them to have to allow a human family to move in?  Did they mistakenly think the humans were fellow aliens?  Did property values rise too high that only humans could afford to live there now?  The plot of this show has actually caused me to want to watch it only so they can answer that main question - why humans in an alien-only neighborhood?  So stay tuned, it debuts on ABC in the fall......and they have scheduled it to come on after Modern Family.

"If the aliens look like this, I am definitely in."
