There Goes The Neighborhood is a reality television series that premiered on CBS in 2009. The show featured eight families who were forced to leave their homes due to a simulated disaster. The families were then relocated to a gated community, where they had to learn to live and work together. Each family was given a fully furnished and decorated home, complete with all the amenities that they would need to survive.

The show was hosted by Matt Rogers, and contestants included families of various ethnicities and backgrounds. The families were told that they had to adapt to their new surroundings and work together to complete challenges. They were given tasks such as starting a community garden, building a park, and organizing a block party. In each challenge, the families were judged on their creativity and teamwork.

The show was set up like a reality competition, with families being eliminated each week. The last family standing would win a grand prize of $250,000. The families were forced to vote each other off, which caused drama and tension within the community. Some families formed alliances, while others were left on the outside. The show was designed to be a social experiment, showing how people from different backgrounds could work together in a crisis situation.

Despite its mixed reviews, There Goes The Neighborhood was a popular show that garnered a devoted fan base. It was seen as a groundbreaking concept that tackled important issues.
