NO ORDINARY FAMILY?

[CaptainWacky]

What is this? It looks like THE FANTASTIC FOUR a bit (the guy who played the Thing is in it even) but also Julie Benz is in it and she's hot. But is it just a family drama with super heroes or, worse, is it like Heroes?

I NEED TO KNOW IF NEW TV SHOWS ARE GOOD QUICKLY

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oh, I see from similar thread that Donovan thinks it's shite.

 

[Donovan]

Yeah, it was not good. Like Ted McGinley Happy Days not good.

 

[Tisiphone]

It was screwy, but I think it's got potential. Too bad it's opposite Abby Scuitto.

 

[CaptainWacky]

ABBY SCUITTO?

 

[Tisiphone]

NCIS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cassie]

I watched Glee instead. Why do they put all the shows I want to watch on at the same time, and leave Wednesday night a wasteland?

 

[Tisiphone]

Exactly. The only thing I watch on Wednesday is Criminal Minds, and I'm still pissed that they got rid of JJ last night. Inconsiderate bastards.

 

[Hambil]

Well, I really liked it. Soon I will start posting 'hot chicks of No Ordinary Family' threads.

 

[Tisiphone]

Surely you just mean Julie Benz.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Maybe if it's on tv sometime or something.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

If it's Wednesday, and you ain't watching "Modern Family", then you simply HAVE NO TASTE!! Best comedy in years.

 

[Tisiphone]

Then I have no taste because it's boring as hell to me.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Watched one episode and didn't laugh once and feel completely justified in not watching it from the adverts. I can tell what they're going for but they forgot to actually make it funny. Oh look, Al Bundy and his Mexican wife are arguing about what to call football/soccer, accept that's all there is to it, just "we call things different names!" with no wit or twist. FUCK THAT SHIT AND FUCK YOU.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Funniest show on television, bar none.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

My pet peeve (well more like stray peeve, since I wouldn't keep it as a pet) is that, if you took away the cinema verite style and the mock interviews, it would be just another garden variety sitcom, and about half as funny.

Since I don't watch the show regularly, answer me this: is someone really filming them in their world? Is the filmmaker a character in the show as well that never gets seen? Or do they just use the style and never bother to explain why they're doing it?

 

[Donovan]

Glad it's not just me. I watched once and never laughed, then when they won some accolades I watched it again to see if I could tell who had to blow the Emmy committee.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It does't have any jokes, just "eccentric" characters who aren't actually eccentric. I HATE BDM SO MUCH NOW.

 

[Tisiphone]

Ditto on the feeling that I thought it was only me. Now I feel vindicated.

 

[Donovan]

On the plus side...No ordinary family was a LOT better tonight.
