The alphabet network has decided they don’t need quite as many episodes of No Ordinary Family. This is just another indication that the show will be cancelled in May. The freshman series may revolve around a family with special powers but the ratings have been anything but super.
Starring Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz, No Ordinary Family debuted on September 28th to a 3.2 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic and 10.69 million viewers. That was a good start but the numbers dropped by 16% by episode two and have essentially kept falling ever since. The latest installment hit a new low with a 1.4 rating in the demo and 4.77 million viewers, making it the lowest-rated scripted show on the network.
Back in late October, despite the falling numbers, ABC ordered nine additional episodes, bringing No Ordinary Family’s season total to 22 installments. ABC execs have now decided to cut the order down to 20 episodes.
According to The Futon Critic, this week’s episode will be an original, number 17. The next two weeks will be filled by repeats and then the final three episodes of the season (and likely the series) will air after that. The finale will air on April 5th.
What do you think? Are you disappointed by the news? Is No Ordinary Family worth saving?

Please do not cancel this show, my wife and I love No Ordinary Family
I am highly dissapointed in the cancellation of this show. It was one of the best shows on abc, there are too many reality shows on as is and to replace this show with one is awful. I will no longer watch abc prime time.
It’s a boomer you need to at least give the public an ending for No Ordinary Family. Just getting good I have been waiting for the new season. Bring it back please!!! Thanks!
No Ordinary Family needs to come back or at least wrap up the story better. Im really disappointed in this decision to end an extremely interesting and entertaining show. I just finished watching the series. I absolutely loved it!! It is a great show and deserves to be extended. ABC is a bunch of stupid idiots; what did you drink the FOX dumb juice? It amazes me how over and over my favorites are canned only to leave the trashy, crappy, and dumbest shows on the air!!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT FREAKING SUPER POWER GEORGE GOT PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE THE SHOW JUST BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DONT LIKE IT DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD CANCEL THE SHOW!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NO ORDINARY FAMILY!!!!!!
This was a good family show and I enjoyed each episode. Please bring it back to the air as I miss watching it.
Theres not much shows out there that you can watch as a family.
No ordinary family was a great family show watched every episode and now they lave us in suspense.
Bring it back!
I HATE THAT YOU GUYS ALWAYS CANCEL!!!!!!!!
WITH NO ENDING YOU SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE US AN ENDING. THIS IS A GREAT!!!! SHOW AND LOVE ALL THE ACTORS
BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK !
why are all the shows that we like being cancelled? Whoever said that we don’t need any more reality shows was right. My stomach turns with every new one they advertise. Please keep No Ordinary Family and V on. Oh, we really liked FlashForward too.
Please bring it back!!!!!!!!!! I love this show. What is wrong with you people?
I am SICK of all the reality tv shows. It was a joy to watch NO ORDINARY FAMILY. This show had a great story line. We need more shows we can watch as a family.
abc has worse shows and still are on week after week. this is a shame and they need to bring back no ordinary family.it was a breath of fresh air.
the show is great i dont understand how it got cancelled but if you going to cancel a show ABC atleast give the little fans you had an ending and not a BIG cliffhanger
No Ordinary Family is a great show and should return. It was easy to watch and has a good story line. There is enough of the reality and talk shows. Remember Cheer’s, MASH, Friends all great shows. What about V? RATINGS TO MUCH PLACED ON THEM.
THEY NEED TO NOT DO THIS TO NO ORDINARY FAMILY OR HELLCATS!!!! I LOVE THOSE SHOWS YOU ARE JUST BORING PEOPLE WHO DON’T GIVE SHOWS A CHANCE!!!!!
same you are so right!!!!!!!!!!!!
