   Thunderbirds wasn't a "sit-com". It was sci-fi drama (using puppets and   
   models). :-)

   A short-lived series (only four episodes), but there was also a   
   follow-on movie "The Thundermans Return" and a new spin-off series "The   
   Thundermans: Undercover" with 22 episodes so far.   
      
      
      
   >> Although I've never heard of "The Neighbors",   
      
   US sit-com about a gated community of extra-terrestrials living on Earth.

   The robot spoke a bit like the original Battlestar Galactica's cylons.   
   It has a great theme tune:    
      
      
      
   >> "Solar Opposites",   
      
   American animated show about a family of aliens who move to a middle   
   American town.   
      
      
      
   >> "Hyperdrive",   
      
   A British sit-com about the crew of a spaceship that travel around   
   trying to convince alien governments to relocate their businesses to   
   Britain. Starring Nick Frost and Miranda Hart.

   The series began in 2013 and there has been a recent movie too.

   American adult animated show where conspiracy theories are real.   
      
      
      
   >> "We Are Not Alone",   
      
   British sit-com about aliens who conquer on Earth and make humans their   
   slaves, and a resistence movement trying to stop them. It's very silly,   
   but has a couple of recognisable actors like Amanda Abbington in it.
