Let's see exactly how ordinary this family is: Super-strength? Check. Super-speed? Check. Super-intelligence? Check. Hearing others' thoughts? Check. Overly elaborate demonstrations to show the extent of powers? Check. Marriage problems? Check. General family problems? Check. Boy problems? Check. Ethnic sidekick? Check. Evil corporatist? Check.
There's nothing remotely new or refreshing about No Ordinary Family, but the superheroes concept has too much potential to let up after one episode. The one thing I'm interested in--how Michael Chiklis deals with an uncooperative criminal.
Score: 8.1/10
