It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ...

NO ORDINARY FAMILY:
One ordinary and dysfunctional family is in a plane crash in South America and begin to have new and extraordinary abilities shortly after they get back from their trip. It is like The Incredibles, only not animated. The way it is told is interesting, and that makes me want to believe that the show creators know exactly how cliche this show and idea are. As tired as the superhero theme may be, there tends to be a rise in those types of shows and movies in times of economic recession and depression. It is a family show, so I expect it to do relatively well.

LAW & ORDER:LA:
Completely mediocre. That's about all I have to say. Just like the original only set in LA and revolving around "celebrities." Also features well known actors.

RAISING HOPE:
This was pretty cute show about the son of a poor,somewhat redneck family. The main character feels like his life isn't going anywhere and decides to change it. What he didn't have in mind was getting a murderess pregnant and then having to raise their child after she was executed in the electric chair. It follows his life as he learns how hard it is to be a single parent, and a young one at that. I enjoyed watching it and laughed quite a bit, especially in the part that went "I puked on the baby!" You will most likely enjoy this if you liked the dysfunctional family of Malcolm in the Middle. There is less yelling, less violence, but still plenty of laughs. One of my new favorites of the season. Also, for all you Scrubs fans out there, Ted's girlfriend/wife has a role in this show and she is as adorable as always, well, except for that "Chiclet."

CHASE:
A cop show just like every other cop show out there, Chase follows a group of U.S. Marshalls stationed in Houston, TX. It doesn't do anything different than any other cop show out there. Think CSI minus forensic science plus on-foot fugitive pursuits. It is different in that the team leader and main character is a woman, nicknamed "Boots" by her partner. Just like every other cop show out there, she has had a lot of drama happen in her past that will be revealed to the viewer as the show progresses. Also, the team is assigned a new "tag-along" in the pilot episode. I see him as an embodiment of the viewer. As he learns the Texan, Marshall way of dealing with fugitives, so does the viewer. We will grow along with this character, because he is us, and we are him. I would say the show is mediocre. Nothing special, but still pretty decent if you like crime dramas.
