Episode(s) Title: Snub Thy Neighbo
When ever-docile Mikey follows his girlfriend Rebecca to Gettysburg, five hours away, for her dad's battle re-enactment, Tony tells sonny his life is about to be totally taken over by the other sex--bad advice according to womanizer Bernie, who isn't making any headway with new studio crew member Susan himself. Tony and Dana didn't even know their previous neighbors' names and now practically ignore their successors, until they realizes that they were the only ones in the neighborhood who weren't invited to their first barbecue, even after they bring them a bottle of wine. When Tony finally manages to invite equally aloof Andy and Jane McKillop to dinner, everything conspires to make the worst possible impression.
Overview
Listen Up is an American sitcom television series created by Jeff Martin, that aired on CBS from September 20, 2004, until April 25, 2005. The series was produced by Regency Television, CBS Productions and Fox Television Studios. The sitcom was based loosely on the life and exploits of the popular sportswriter and sports-media personality Tony Kornheiser. Its principal executive producer was Jason Alexander, who was also the lead actor. Despite decent-to-good ratings, the show was canceled by CBS on May 18, 2005; "rising production costs" was the major reason officially given for the cancellation.
Tony Kleinman is a Philadelphia based sports show host whose sidekick is Bernie Widmer, a former NFL player; together they host the TV show Listen Up. While Tony does talk about sports on the show and in his newspaper column, he strays away occasionally to talk about the daily exploits of his family: his wife, Dana, a fund-raiser coordinator; his son, Mickey, a 15-year-old golf prodigy, and Megan, his 14-year-old, know-it-all, smart-mouthed, soccer-playing daughter.
