anyone watching this?

I think the son is my favorite character. Don't care much for his sister. Maybe she is coming around.

I refuse to watch anything with Julie Benz. Horrible actress.

Besides, the show doesn't look very good anyway.

I watch it. It's a really good show. Next week episode is going to be really good. I prefer watching No Ordinary Family over Glee. I watch Glee online when I have time.

Sounds a died-in-the-wool Glee fan to me!!!

This is one of the better shows of the new season, and way better than a phony high school musical with lots of lip-synching and bad acting.

As far as Julie Benz (Dexter, Angel, Desperate Housewives) goes, you probably wouldn't know a good actress if you saw one on any show on television today. She holds her own against Michael Chiklis.

And I like the actor who plays the son, Jimmy Bennett. He is very good and I think this show is going to be around for a while.

When I saw the commercials for it I thought it was a total rip-off of The Incredibles (which I'm guessing it probably is). I just figured to not watch it because I could watch TI instead.

Yes, I’m really going to take seriously the opinion of someone who goes wherever the wind blows. You're a complete tool.

As for Glee--you’re wrong. There’s no other way to put it. It won 19 nominations at the Emmy’s, has universal popularity, has several hit albums, and has received accolades from all sides of the media. (Btw, the cast has sung live in several places where they were not lip-syncing and they have sounded beautiful, as they do on the show--where, in fact, they are not auto-tuned that often, just for your info.) I’m going to say that one superfluous cranky old man on a Disney site counts very little to all that. Also, I have to question your sanity if you say that Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer are bad actors. I think it's more that you're just a bad viewer.

As for Julie Benz--she’s a horrible actress and I don’t care if you like it or not. I’ve seen her on Desperate Housewives, and thankfully she was written out after 3 or 4 episodes. She stank up Wisteria Lane. She was especially bad next to incredible actresses like Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman. It's unfortunate that she's been on Dexter. I've enjoyed several episodes I've seen of the show (where she wasn't present), and it seems like it would be great sans Benz. Thankfully, I read she was killed off in the recent seasons. They must've wanted to get rid of her, too.

I have to say that I think Glee is immensely overrated and don't see how it's' given the credit it is.

Unfortunately I have not seen the Incredibles yet, but this is not animated and these people are having to learn to adjust to their powers/discovering more about them as they go.

I admit, I was hesitant to watch thinking, "man that is a rip off of Heroes" but this show is about one family and it's got a different style than Heroes.

Anyway, before you come here complaining about the show or the acting, I urge you to give it a shot.

I'm not saying I'll love it all season, but so far I'm interested enough to watch. I really like the relationship between the father and his best friend and as I've said before I like the son.

To Disney's Divinity, the mother is probably my least favorite character. If you can watch with your concentration more on the other characters see if it's worth your time.

I've only seen the pilot, which was not very good, but I plan to continue because of my love for Julie Benz. :D

I don't know if anyone was paying attention but I just realized that the woman who plays Victoria Morrow is actually Rebecca Mader from "LOST" who played Charlotte Staples Lewis. She's been is 2 episodes so far "No Ordinary Brother", "No Ordinary Detention". On February 15, 2010 "No Ordinary Powell" I think she will be playing a bigger role because they send her to kill one of the Powell family member.
No Ordinary Powell (February 15, 2010)
Dr. King orders Victoria Marrow, a shapeshifter, to infiltrate the Powell's house and kill one of them, and JJ and Daphne try to solve the case of JJ's ex-girlfriend, Natalie's mother's cold case murder.

Right now, this is my favorite Tuesday night show. Between "No Ordinary Family" and "NCIS" and "NCIS Los Angeles", and Food Network's "Chopped", my Tuesdays are booked solid, and I love it.

"No Ordinary Family" is catching on, and I think that it might be around for a while. They are still fleshing out all the characters, and each show has been very entertaining so far.

This may be something for me to watch.


Then again, I'm a partial Gleek, and dont care how unrealistic any show is so long as it's good.

You should watch "No Ordinary Family" at first it's kinda slow but then it's getting better with more action.

For those who like "No Ordinary Family" there are rumors that it's certain to be cancelled because of low ratings. If you like "No Ordinary Family" and "Glee" you need to watch "No Ordinary Family" so it can get better ratings and a chance for a second season. By the way "Glee" already has high ratings and is already renewed for another season you can watch it on Hulu.com or Glee website the next day.

Season Finale: Tuesday, April 5, 2011

"No Ordinary Family" was supposed to have a full season of 22 episodes but now it has been shorted to 20 (I think this is because of low ratings).
