No Ordinary Family jumps across the pond

This one's for all my UK readers. If you've been reading about a new sci-fi show called No Ordinary Family (see my earlier post on the show) then fear not as it is coming to digital channel Watch from 11th January 2011! Think of it as a light heartened Heroes, except their a family that were one day normal, and the next day no so normal. With a dad that creates e-fits in a police station, a scientist mum and two teenagers this show has plenty of drama, comedy and action to keep you entertained.

I've seen a few episodes ahead and from what I've seen it looks to be a promising show so add it to your New Year's list of things to watch.

No ordinary sci-fi comedy

There have been so many good new and continued TV shows this season that I've tried to cut a few out (I'm sure I'll pick them back up during the summer season when there's less on) but last week I actually added a new show. I saw the previews for No Ordinary Family and thought as a fan of superhero films and shows that I would check it out. And I was pleased with what I saw. It's a little bit Heroes, how did they get their powers, trying to understand them, etc but it also has an element of comedy (particularly in Michael Chiklis' attempts to use his powers for good, falling off buildings, etc).

It's a show that I'm interested on seeing where it will go, but with other new brilliant shows like The Event to watch it sadly hasn't made it to the top of my list yet.
