...a.k.a. ABC's upcoming No Ordinary Family.
Looks like the superhero related television is coming out of the shadows for the upcoming season as--in addition to NBC's The Cape--ABC's new offering about a family who develops superpowers takes its turn in the spotlight. The show follows a typical nuclear family who in a moment of desperation go on a vacation to try and spend some quality time together. After their plane crash lands in a freak storm they return home only to find that they may have more in common than they thought.
The show stars Julie Benz (of Dexter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame) and Michael Chiklis (most notably of The Shield and the Fantastic Four films) as Stephanie and Jim Powell, a couple who's marriage and family life could use a kick in the pants. The family is rounded out by Kay Panabaker (a veteran of television guests spots) and Jimmy Bennett who is probably most well known for playing "young James T. Kirk" in the recent Star Trek adaptation from J.J. Abrams. Also starring Weeds' Romany Malco as Jim's friend and confidant, No Ordinary Family hits your television set next season.
On review of the trailer, I think it may fare a little better than The Cape but we'll have to wait and see. It's certainly on my list of things to give a shot...will it be on yours?
