Wednesday will bring us three renewed half-hour comedies along with the two new shows.

“The Neighbors” – The Weavers Family (Lenny Venito, Jami Gertz, Isabella Cramp, Clara Mamet and Max Charles) moves into a beautiful, surprisingly affordable gated community in New Jersey only to discover that all the neighbors are literally aliens from another planet, Zabvron, where the men bear children and everyone cries green goo from their ears. They have been stationed on Earth for the past 10 years, disguised as humans, awaiting instructions from home, and the Weavers are the first humans they’ve had the opportunity to know. As it turns out, the pressures of marriage and parenthood are not exclusive to planet Earth. Two worlds will collide with hilarious consequences as everyone discovers they can “totally relate” and learn a lot from each other. “The Neighbors” was written by Dan Fogelman (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) who is also an executive producer with Aaron Kaplan, Jeff Morton, and Chris Koch (“Modern Family”).

“Nashville” – A family soap set against the backdrop of the Nashville music scene that follows two musicians, one who’s already a star (Connie Britton) and the other who’s on the rise (Hayden Panettiere). Chart-topping Rayna James is a country legend who’s had a career any singer would envy, though lately her popularity is starting to wane. Rayna’s record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes, the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can’t wait to steal Rayna’s spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. “Nashville” was written by Callie Khouri (“Thelma & Louise”).
