Since the initial trailers for ABC’s new fall show The Neighbors made their way online back in May, people have noticed little glimpses of a 2011 Duffy the Disney Bear in several shots.
Just a week or two ago, they began showing a new trailer in the US and my Mom is the one who caught it — the “More Heart than Humanly Possible” trailer includes a full shot of Duffy this time!
The Neighbors is set to debut on September 26 and, I will be in Spain that week for a travel blogging conference. Will try to catch it on Hulu or have Mom DVR it so I can watch when I am in the US in October.
While yes, it’s convenient product placement by ABC/Disney, and I am sure a number of people will complain, I am just excited to see Duffy make any sort of appearance on TV. It will be interesting to see if Duffy is an integral part of the show, and addressed by name, or just a mere prop who, at one point, is painfully ripped from the daughter’s hands by her brother in one show trailer. Poor Duffy!

In this trailer, you get a quick glimpse of Duffy as he’s ripped from the girl’s arm by her brother and you can see him again (well his paw anyways) when the family is all in bed together.
