No Ordinary Family is an American television series that aired on ABC and CTV in Canada. The one-hour science fiction comedy-drama was produced by ABC Studios for the 2010–11 television season. The series ran from September 28, 2010, to April 5, 2011, on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm ET/PT.[1][2] The show centers on the Powells, a typical American family living in fictional Pacific Bay, California, whose members gain special powers after their plane crashes in the Amazon, Brazil.

On May 13, 2011, ABC announced that No Ordinary Family had been cancelled due to low ratings.[3][4] The 20 episodes are currently available online.

Cast and characters

Main cast

  • Michael Chiklis as James "Jim" Powell, Sr. – a police sketch artist whose power is super-strength (he can lift 11,000 lbs.) He is nearly invulnerable, and can leap over tall buildings (or jump a quarter-mile). When in contact with cinoxate, his powers fail.[5] His weakness lies in finesse and agility.
  • Julie Benz as Dr. Stephanie Powell (née Crane) – a scientist who works at Global Tech. She has super speed[5] (running 10 miles in just under five seconds) and an incredibly fast metabolism that allows her to heal quickly.[6] However, when she was attacked by Lucas Winnick, an animal-like posthuman, she was injected with the Trilsetum Coronis serum in an attempt to save her life. This allowed her to (possibly only temporarily) run faster than the speed of light, enabling time travel. She was initially working on the research of the Trilsetum Coronis, the "crown jewel" plant of the Amazon Basin. She later found out that the plant shared the same chromosomes as the family's super powered DNA.
  • Kay Panabaker as Daphne Nicole Powell – Jim and Stephanie's 16-year-old daughter. She has the power of telepathy[5] and the ability to view the memories of others. She later discovered that she could also influence the behavior of others for a short time by means of telepathic suggestion (the term "pushing" was also used to describe this ability, possibly in reference to a similar ability possessed by the Andy McGee character in Firestarter by Stephen King). She also develops the ability to erase memories through this method.
  • Jimmy Bennett as James "JJ" Powell, Jr. – Jim and Stephanie's 14-year-old son; a teenager with vast intelligence. He has the ability to speed-read and comprehend large amounts of information by just reading the page (but is initially only capable of remembering it for six hours). He is also capable of learning a new language fluently in a matter of minutes.[5] His powers extend to a form of "genius vision". When he experiences intense emotional stress, his powers fail. His enhanced intellect appears to extend his ability to handle extra-academic situations, enhanced fighting skill being an example. It is revealed that he is immune to Daphne's telepathic push.
  • Autumn Reeser as Katie Andrews[5] – a lab tech and Stephanie's personal assistant at Global Tech and comic book fangirl. She is aware of the Powells' superpowers. She is also dating the Watcher (under the alias of Will and later Joshua), but it is unknown to her that she had been hired by Dr. King to find out about the Powell family's abilities.[6] Her favorite superhero(ine) is Kitty Pryde. Katie acquired telekinetic powers due to her pregnancy with Joshua's child. Katie and Joshua eventually reconnect after he returns and helps Katie deliver their baby prematurely. The baby initially appears to be stillborn, but its eyes quickly flash green and it returns to life, presumably as a result of its Trilsetum DNA.
  • Romany Malco as George St. Cloud[5] – an assistant district attorney in Pacific Bay and long-time friend of Jim's. He also knows of the Powells' superpowers. He is a comic book fanboy. He sponsors and runs the crime-fighting intelligence network ("The Lair") from his garage which he has equipped with hi-tech surveillance, tracking and computer equipment. In the season one finale, George is aboard an airplane along with 80 prisoners who are to be turned into super villains. Since George survived the crash it is presumed that he also developed super powers like the rest of passengers on the plane after crashing in the same manner as the Powells.
  • Stephen Collins[7] as Dr. Dayton King – Stephanie's boss at Global Tech and, as the series unfolds, a key figure in the Powells' super-powered universe. He is a typical Hitchcockian villain to the series. He is also in love with Stephanie Powell. In episode 14, through the security cameras, he finally learns of Jim and Stephanie's powers. In episode 16, it is revealed that he is The Watcher's adoptive father and has some sort of interest in JJ's powers. It is revealed he took the serum to heal himself after contracting cancer. In episode 20, JJ injects him with Stephanie's power cure, and King dies when the cancer returns at an accelerated rate.
  • Josh Stewart as the Watcher – the series' super villain, later another super hero like the Powells. Originally Dr. King's evil enforcer and assassin, he goes by aliases of Will and later Joshua when interacting with the family during his investigation of them. His powers are temporary, and without regular injections from Dr. King to maintain them, he undergoes withdrawal. He has been shown to have the abilities of telekinesis, telepathic suggestion, and an immunity to Daphne's telepathy. In the episode "No Ordinary Sidekick", he is unable to hide his thoughts when Daphne accidentally uses her power to see other people's thoughts through physical contact. Consequently, Joshua demonstrates his ability to erase memory by removing Daphne's memories of everything that happened from the family's trip to Brazil, to the present. In Episode 11, he surrenders the injections that give him his powers in order to start a normal relationship with Katie.[8] In Episode 13, it is revealed that the injections he was given were keeping him alive, but before dying he goes through severe withdrawal followed by organ failure. In Episode 14, it is revealed that through advanced level of telepathic suggestion, he can "re-wire" memories, which kept his real name, among other things, secret. In Episode 16, it was announced that Dr. King is his adoptive father who saved his life from a terminal illness by injecting him with the serum when Joshua was 6 years old. In the season finale, it is revealed that Joshua is being held in a prison by Mrs. X. JJ is thrown in the same cell as Joshua. Joshua subsequently helps JJ figure out the secret making the super powers permanent. Dr. King lets his "son" out, in secret, telling him that he will always be there for him, and that Joshua should go and be with his family. Joshua returns to Katie, and, after turning Victoria away, helps Katie deliver their child prematurely. The baby initially appears to be stillborn, but its eyes quickly flash green and it returns to life, presumably as a result of its Trilsetum DNA.

Episodes

Main article: List of No Ordinary Family episodes

The series focused on the Powells, their powers and attempting to discover the nefarious plot of Dr. Dayton King, Stephanie's boss.

In the pilot episode, Jim Powell forces his disjointed family into a vacation to Brazil, which ends when their plane crashes in the Amazon Rainforest and the family returns home. In time, each family member is revealed to have a superpower: Jim has superhuman strength, which includes leaping tall buildings in a single bound and near-invincibility; Stephanie has superhuman speed; Daphne has telepathy, specifically mind reading; and JJ has superintelligence, although he keeps his power a secret from his parents for a while.

Assistant district attorney George St. Cloud, Jim's close friend, and Katie Andrews, Stephanie's lab assistant, share in the family's secret adventures and discoveries. Jim begins to use his powers to fight crime, drawing increasing police attention to his vigilantism, Stephanie uses her scientists' job at Global Tech to better understand the family's powers, and both JJ and Daphne develop crushes. Katie also meets a man, Will, who is soon revealed to be hiding his true identity, Joshua; Daphne learns that he's a super, but he wipes her mind. As Joshua and Katie's relationship forms, his ulterior motive of spying on the Powells for Dr. King is nearly revealed, time and time again until he must use his superpowers against another of King's supers, Victoria Morrow, to save Katie; she was sent to ensure Joshua's cooperation in spying by killing his girlfriend.

Through Jim's crimefighting, the family learns of the existence of other "supers." Meanwhile, Stephanie learns of decades-old Global Tech research into a flower called trillsettum, which is the source of their powers. Interspersed with the supers of the week are apparently minor revelations, including the Stephanie's discovery of Jim's superpower's weakness, cinoxate, Daphne's discovery that her power also encompasses forcing thoughts into other people's minds, JJ's math teacher's realization of the boy's powers and manipulation by Dr. King, and the death of Victoria after she attempts to kill and replace him. Joshua disposes of Victoria's body.

As Stephanie gains access to King's secret research into trillsettum, she realizes his central role in the sudden appearance of supers, who are all criminals injected with the purified chemical serum. While Stephanie works on an antidote to the serum, Joshua proposes to Katie, but the revelation of his erasure of Daphne's memory leads Katie to renounce her love of him shortly before she realizes her pregnancy. An attack on Katie by an animal-like super shows the fetus's superhuman abilities. After Stephanie is attacked by the same super, her infection worsens so bad that Jim takes her to Dr. King and begs for the serum to save her life; she recovers and discovers that her abilities, when amplified, allow her to travel in time.

In due time, Mrs. X is introduced as an apparent enemy of Global Tech's secret research, but later as CEO of the company and merely an antagonist to Dr. King. Mrs. X revives Victoria, tasking her with looking after Katie's baby. When JJ's math teacher is killed and JJ is kidnapped, the family demand Dr. King's cooperation in their search. King reveals that he has used trillsettium for decades to sustain his body against cancer, and directs them to Global Tech's secret lab, where they are captured by Mrs. X. Imprisoned with JJ, Joshua learns of Katie's pregnancy and the boy finally solves the mystery of the family's permanent powers where others require frequent injection of serum. When Mrs. X threatens to kill Daphne, JJ shares the information and Mrs. X orders the family's execution and leaves the building. However, Dr. King arrives, saves Stephanie and the children, and shoots Jim, then professes his love to Mrs. Powell. Jim, still alive, attacks King, whose own abilities have been amplified by excessive trillsettium. Eventually, JJ manages to inject King with the antidote, resulting in his death, but the family is too late to prevent Mrs. X from loading a plane with 80 criminals, plus Victoria and George (who followed a series of clues to discover Victoria's imitation of Joshua), to be permanently turned into supers. Joshua helps deliver Katie's premature super baby; the National Security Agency arrives at the Powell's home to request assistance in recovering the crashed plane's super criminals.

Reception

Ratings

Critical reception

The series pilot episode received mostly positive reviews from critics. Review aggregator Metacritic gave the series a score of 65 out of 100, indicating generally favorable reviews based on 28 professional critics.[29] Alessandra Stanley from The New York Times gave an average review, praising the fact that the show offers "calmer, more restrained fantasy about paranormal prowess" by combining shows like Heroes and Lost with the wholesome fantasy of Pixar's The Incredibles and Disney's The Swiss Family Robinson, but concluded her review by saying that "it's not clear whether this series—a hybrid of family drama and graphic novel—can sustain interest once the premise is fully established".[30] Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote a review saying that "There's lot of promise here, of drama, action, comedy, etc, all wrapped up in a family-friendly series."[31] The Miami Herald's Glenn Garvin gave a positive review by saying that the show is "a perceptive and engaging comedy-drama about domestic dysfunction", he also praised Benz and Chiklis saying that they are "splendid as a startled couple", with Panabaker "as their sulky, contemptuous daughter".[32]

Praise about the main leads also came from The Boston Globe, with critic Matthew Gilbert saying that it's nice to see Chiklis and Benz in roles different from their previous television roles, and ends his review by saying that "With believable chemistry together, Chiklis and Benz help create a solid TV couple and, let's hope, no ordinary series".[33] However, Verne Gay from Newsday criticized Chiklis' performance saying that it is a "spectacular...case of miscasting".[34]
