Latremenoi Mou Geitones (Greek: Λατρεμένοι μου Γείτονες) or My Beloved Neighbours is a Greek TV serial written by Panos Amarantidis, directed by Pierros Andrakakos, created by Studio ATA and broadcast on Mega Channel starting in 2007 with additional episodes in 2008.

The series is based on a Spanish production, Mis Adorables Vecinos.

The series revolves around the lives of two families. The Moustoxidis family is from a poor neighbourhood and working class, however their young daughter, Betty, wins a reality singing show (much like Pop Idol) and ends up a superstar with the family becoming very rich. They move in next door to the Papapavlos family who are sophisticated Athenians.

At the heart of the story is the on-off relationship between Aris Moustoxidis (Dimitris Vlachos) and Lisa Papapavlou (Smaragda Kalimoukou).

Focus

Although there are occasional glimpses of the underlying tensions involved with class and behaviour, upbringing and status, the series generally focuses on the obvious for its humour, for example the way in which Pelagia dresses and behaves betrays her origins and often the upper-class locals look down on her ways.

Ratings

The first season averaged a 35% rating and the second, with a lot of changes (writer, cast etc.), 22%.
