I think Neighbours is, for the most part, complete drivel, but I don't think it should be axed.
Time for Neighbours to be axed

The viewing figures for Neighbours is going down..prehaps viewers are taping the show and are enjoying themselves outside in the sun!

Neighbours is still great. I don't think it should be axed, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it should be axed.

are you ahving a laugh? iw atch all soaps apart from corrie and i admit nighbours is tacky and can be really childish give me doom and gloom anyday at leastt ehy are hard hitting storylines
Neighbours has great storylines and I've watched it nearly all my life and I've always loved it. Every so often soaps have times when they aren't as good as they sometimes are, but in my opinion Neighbours has just been getting better and better recently. Its million times better than what we apparently call our number 1 soap- Eastenders- now if you want to watch rubbish then watch that!
Also if people don't watch it then why moan about it, as if you haven't been watching it then how do you know whats been going on and have the opinion that you don't like it!
Long live Ramsay Street, where everybody needs good Neighbours!!!!

I've stopped watching Eastenders.
Never.
"Neighbours" has become a wonderful institution.
Whatever the show's detractors may say, there are a few important things to remember. It regularly attains a bigger audience than other imports such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost". It also attracts a larger audience than some UK soaps on occassion, including "EastEnders". Given it's time slot, that is incredibly impressive.
Secondly, the show has never tried to be "hard hitting". The programme is not concerned with dealing in larger social issues. In avoiding this, Neighbours is probably a far more realistic representation of everyday life. As much as it tries, "EastEnders" is not the "gritty" portrayal of tough lives it claims to be. For a start, nobody in London (or indeed the world) speaks like Pat Butcher - what the hell is that accent they speak in Wallford?
I'm currently studying Television. I deal with complex, yet often greatly flawed programmes that take themselves too seriously every day. "Neighbours" is my idea of heaven - it's an unpretencious show that just focuses on simple storytelling, oh; and the sun is always shining.
I love the characters and the innate charm and innocence of "Neighbours". Give me that over all the UK soaps any day. And I tell you what, this show isn't as silly as it might look. Sometimes a work of genius doesn't have to be complicated.
