The People Next Door (American TV series)

The People Next Door is an American sitcom which aired on CBS from September 18 until October 16, 1989, as part of its Fall 1989 schedule.

Synopsis

Set in Covington, Ohio, The People Next Door starred Jeffrey Jones, previously regarded as a character actor, as cartoonist Walter Kellogg, a man whose imagination was so vivid that many of the things which he imagined materialized immediately. His wife Abigail was portrayed by Mary Gross. They had two children, 14-year-old Matthew and 11-year-old Aurora. Abigail's sister "Cissy" (Christina Pickles) was also a regular, as was meddlesome mailman Truman Fipps (Leslie Jordan). The character of Debbie was played by Jackie Swanson.

The series proved to be a ratings disaster, and was cancelled after only five of ten of its produced episodes aired.
