So far, no news as to whether or not ABC is going to pick up No Ordinary Family for a second season. It really wouldn't surprise me much if it gets canned. It seems that most of my favorite shows rarely make it these days. That being said, I do love this show...yes, it's a little silly, but I like silly.
One thing I'd like to see more of is Stephen Collins being a bad guy...we rarely get to see him except at the end of the show every week...the creative team behind this show really needs to flesh out his part in the over-arching story.
We'll see what happens in tonight's show.
Guest Starring Tonight is Rebecca Mader (LOST) as the new VP of Human Relations for Global Tech.
Here's what TV guide has to say about tonight's episode:
Jim's freewheeling brother (Jason Wiles) shows up at the Powells unannounced, and after learning of their abilities tries to use JJ's powers to cash in at the racetrack. Meanwhile, Katie gets promoted by a human-resources executive (Rebecca Mader), but Steph wonders if there are strings attached; and Daphne worries that a fellow student has been falsely accused of a crime.Turns out that Jim's brother Mike owes a loan shark about 150k. He uses JJ at the track in order to make a buttload of money to pay off the debt.
The Lair gets robbed and Jim automatically assumes that it was Mike, but Daphne finds out that isn't the case at all.
Daphne uses her powers to find out that the bad boy student is covering for his brother (a model student) and asks JJ to open the model student's locker where they find a buttload of Adderall.
Joshua again tells Dr. King that he's done being his enforcer.
Dr. King and Victoria Marrow conspire about what to do about Joshua.
Steph and Katie do lunch and Steph apologizes to Katie for being an ass about her promotion...they get up to go their separate ways, but Steph notices that Katie is about to be squished by some falling panes of glass and speeds over to save her in front of a bunch of witnesses.
Jim calls Mike to let him know that he knows Mike didn't rob the Lair, but Mike is now being held hostage by the loan shark. Loan shark gives Jim 24 hours to come up with the money or he'll kill Mike.
The Powell's decide to let JJ go to the track to win all the money that Mike owes.
Joshua thinks that the "accident" wasn't really an accident.
JJ's math fails and they lose all the money they were going to use to save Mike. Could see that coming from a mile away.
Jim shows up to the loan shark to trade his life for his brother...loan shark says sure, put gun to Jim's head, but Mike isn't having any of that and together the brother's take down the loan shark and his goons.
Bad boy confronts Daphne about his model student brother getting caught with the Adderall and they have a nice little exchange about expectations.
Katie stops by and talks to Steph about how she's not going to Miami.
Jim and Mike have their brotherly love moment.
George gets all new equipment for the Lair thanks to Homeowners insurance. I've got to say that the Lair is awesome!
Turns out the Katies near accident wasn't an accident at all. Turns out the Crane operator was really Victoria Morrow (a shape shifter).
Now, don't get me wrong, I like this show a lot, but I really wish everything wasn't all neatly tied up with a bow at the end of every episode. Sure, there's the overall arc with Dr. King, but there needs to be more that ties each episode together, or they need to speed things up with the Dr. King plot.
Until next time,
-Bill
