Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': The main characters only have one set of neighbors.
* '''Straight''': In the sitcom ''Mary and Spencer'', the titular characters only have one set of neighbors ever mentioned, who are Alan and Betty.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alan and Betty are explicitly stated to be the only other people in Tropeville.
* '''Downplayed''': Mary and Spencer have other neighbors, but they're only [[TheGhost mentioned]], or are only shown in the background; Alan and Betty are the only ones to ever get any plot relevance.
* '''Justified''':
** Tropeville is a relatively small town.
** Most of ''Mary and Spencer'' takes place around the titular characters' household, and they don't usually talk to most of their neighbors.
* '''Inverted''': Mary and Spencer have more neighbors than what would be logical for where they live.
* '''Subverted''': Mary and Spencer start out with only a few neighbors, but [[NewNeighborsAsThePlotDemands more of them get introduced as the series goes on]].
* '''Double Subverted''': Only for the new neighbors to be PutOnABus or undergo ChuckCunninghamSyndrome.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Mary and Spencer have a regular amount of neighbors that tend to get equal amounts of focus.
* '''Enforced''': The creators don't want to put excessive focus on giving the main characters a lot of neighbors, so they limit it to only one other household.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''':
** Mary and Spencer encourage other people to move into their neighborhood.
** Mary and Spencer move to a place where they'll have more neighbors.
** Mary and Spencer decide to get to know their other neighbors better.
* '''Discussed''': "Have you ever noticed how we only ever get to talk to Alan and Betty? Don't we have other neighbors?"
* '''Conversed''': "I feel like in these kinds of shows, the main characters usually only ever have one set of neighbors that we know about."
