Marcel Spears stars in CBS’ The Neighborhood

With Marcel Spears, he found a family and success with CBS’ The Neighborhood.

Now in its third season, The Neighborhood is currently one of the funniest sitcoms airing today for the network starring Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield.

The Neighborhood is a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness. Dave Johnson is a good-natured, professional conflict negotiator. When his wife, Gemma, gets a job as a school principal in Los Angeles, they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover, unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their small town. Their opinionated next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler, is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block. However, Calvin’s gracious wife, Tina, rolls out the welcome wagon; their chipper younger son, Marty, thinks the Johnsons could be good for the community; and their unemployed older son, Malcolm, finds Dave may finally be someone who understands him. Dave realizes that fitting into their new community is more complex than he expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, they have an excellent chance of making their new neighborhood their home.

The rest of the cast includes Hank Greenspan, Tichina Arnold, Beth Behrs, and Sheaun McKinney.
