Critic Reviews

Mark A. Perigard

Ordinary is super at capturing a middle-class family suffering from self-imposed Kryptonite poisoning Read full review

Barry Garron

What's different--and refreshing--about ABC's No Ordinary Family is that the efforts made to convince you that the Powells are normal, while entirely sincere, don't last long. Their supposed normalcy disintegrates into something more fun and potentially more compelling well before the pilot's end credits begin to roll. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

Who doesn't want to see Vic Mackey catch bullets with his bare hands? [But] You might be longing for Vic Mackey to crush skulls with his bare hands after a few minutes of this happy-go-lucky, discovering-the-importance-of-family romp. Read full review

Zap2it (Inside the Box) Rick Porter

Chiklis ("The Shield," "Fantastic Four") and Benz ("Dexter") are appealing leads, and "No Ordinary Family" will most likely rise and fall on their backs. Read full review

Paige Wiser

It was all a bit too corny and predictable for my taste, though. Add a mutant strain of irony, and they just might gain another super-fan. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Maybe there are superheroes who specialize in improving organic-farming methods or eradicating bedbugs, but they probably won't be getting network shows any time soon. Shows that parents might be willing to watch with their kids--and kids with their parents--remain few and far between, so it's too bad that the so far ordinary but at least well-meaning No Ordinary Family is facing off this fall against the phenomenon that is Fox's "Glee."

Maureen Ryan

Again and again, the show takes what should be subtext and turned it into stilted dialogue that grows repetitive very quickly. Read full review
