ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

sofblaze-301-796293 I love this show I hate the fact that they canceled this show, cant they put it on the family channel if there isn't enough violence or sex or lying or people fighting about there cheating spouse.This was an awesome show and to end it leaving all those stones unturned.Who ever made that decision should get his ass kicked.Is there a web site to see what ratings of shows are and see if cougar town is any better.I don't think so... yes I did find a site with ratings and cougar town had 1.4 million 4th place that night in all syndicated channels. anyway they mom on this show is already doing a new show on the syfy channel.I wonder if any show has ever been canceled and then brought back...

aimless-46 If you ever thought about remaking "The Secret World of Alex Mack", with Alex's parents as the main characters and a heightened level of violence (and who hasn't), look to "No Ordinary Family" for proof as to why it would be a very bad idea. "No Ordinary Family" makes use of an assortment of out-of-work members of the "Angel" ensemble, but here the violence level simply does not match the family friendly tone of the rest of the show. And the hack writers (they are pretty horrible) were incapable of inserting inventive "Angel" inspired black comedy elements to mitigate this disconnect. Unlike "Angel" or "Alex Mack", "No Ordinary Family" is unable to effectively strike a self-knowing balance between its absurdist elements and its Norman Rockwell moments."No Ordinary Family" (thankfully put out of its misery by ABC after just one season) is a good illustration of the pitfalls of trying to expand your target demographic. The series probably would have worked (even with the same cast, writers, and premise) if it had simply targeted Alex's old demographic.That would have meant a focus on daughter Daphne (Kay Panabaker) and son J.J. (Jimmy Bennett), with only supporting roles for their father (Michael Chiklis) and their mother (Julie Benz). Benz showed a nice comic touch when over-playing Darla on "Angel", but none of this is utilized in this new series, where they rein in her character's intensity level to that of the most robotic of "The Stepford Wives". Fortunately for Benz, she gets to play off one of the stronger members of the cast, Autumn Reeser, who gets better scripting than any other cast member. Chiklis is horribly miscast and is further burdened with a second J.J.; Romany Malco doing a bad version of Jimmie J.J. "Dy-no-mite" Walker. Their frequent and staggeringly tedious scenes together are almost surreal in their embarrassing lameness.Panabaker acts rings around the rest of the cast (the talent disparity is almost scary) and after a couple of episodes she made her subtle mind-reading powers far more viewer engaging than the flashy superpowers of her parents. Mediocre special effects probably have something to do with this as the sequences focused on J.J.'s super-brain also soon become more interesting than the parental stuff.If you assume that the intent was to make an entertaining show that would survive for several seasons, you have to question the mental abilities of those who originally conceived this thing. And when it quickly became apparent that the sequences with the adults were mind-numbingly dull and the tone too uneven, a perceptive person would have changed the focus to the kids and counted themselves lucky to have someone as talented as Panabaker around to carry the show.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

kim-59-736268 We all love 'No Ordinary Family' in my family (I have 2 boys aged 11 and 14) and loads of the children I teach (aged 9/10) love it too. Due to various sporting activities that my boys do, we have to tape it, but then they watch it a few times before the next episode comes out. We were gripped from the first episode. I am so glad that Katie and Joshua finally got back together again and now have a lovely 'super' baby. What powers will it have? Will it be able to control them? I cannot believe you are not making another series. I was so sure that you would, particularly as so many people I know love it. Please reconsider continuing to run with it. We were so looking forwarding to another series. You must release the DVD with all the episodes so far.

wancy1 I waited anxiously every week just to see this show. It was different! The very first show I saw which was the first one, I thought great something different. Well, now I could cry because every Tuesday I check the shows for that night and I've been disappointed. Please bring this show back to Tuesday at 8pm. Frankly, if I NEVER see another Grey's Anatomy, House, NCIS, Bones (all hospital and crime shows), I will be happy. "No Ordinary Family" is more than solving a crime show. It helps me escape reality for an hour a week. I love it! I love the actors too; They were perfectly cast. They are excellent. Kudos for all of them. You writers, just don't get too ugly with the evil super characters. Be creative! The show would be great if everything is well at the characters home with surprise in the field.
