No Ordinary Family

This is not a show that can be claimed family-friendly, unless the family is one that accepts foul language and blatant disrespect for parental authority.

This show had potential. We watched the first episode, and I was extremely disappointed to hear a mother of a middle school aged girl explain to her husband that the daughter wasn't "ready" yet to have a sexual relationship, as if it was merely a lifestyle choice that a 13 year old is mature enough to decide.

It is a great show for action-lovers, yet it might seem like a take-off of The Incredibles or Sky High. Very interesting, intense action at some points.

When did "mild swearing" include "Whore." How about "strong swearing?" This was hard to watch with a tween. And with the premise being superheros, it's too bad they couldn't include a larger audience.

I wanted to love this show -- there are so few network shows that we can watch as a family -- but it fell short. I enjoyed the portrayal of a family so into their iPhones that they ignore one another -- a good message there -- but felt that the extreme violence and focus on teen sex made the show inappropriate for my kids, ages 10 and 12. Bullets at point-blank range? Kids calling each other "whore"? Perhaps my real issue is with lazy screenwriters who take shortcuts rather than work to establish characters the old-fashioned way. Maybe No Ordinary Family will improve with time, but I don't know that I'll watch it again.

Concept is great, was so dissappointed when I previewed it for our family. Where are the family shows for those with kids under 12?

Sooooooo disappointing! I was hoping for a show the whole family could watch together. Why all the sexual comments from a teenage girl? Could have been so much better. Too bad there are no family shows out there. We'll just continue to keep it turned OFF!

So I thought this would be a family show we could all watch together: mom, dad, 10 and almost 8 year old with the baby in bed. Sounds like a family show, looks like a family show, but not really a family show. They gotta tone down the language and the sex talk. "Dumb @$$" in the first few minutes of the show - not necessary. W*ore and b#@ch - not necessary. I had to be on my toes every time the daughter opened her mouth. Thought it was entertaining. Most of it was ok. But the parts that weren't will keep us from watching as a family and that's a shame.

This is not family entertainment. How do I explain to my 7 year-old about virginity and why the young girl is upset about not having done "it" yet? Also, the mother calling the daughter's best friend a "b" because she was sleeping with her daughter's boyfriend? Just not necessary. Again this perpetuates the idea that "everyone" is having sex-- and the girl didn't look older than 15. Also, the gun scene with the father catching bullets-- it really made guns look like toys (who in their right mind would consent to fire one at his best friend?). Not happy at all with how this show was billed as the next "Incredibles." We will not be watching.
