As if there weren’t enough signs already that ABC’s No Ordinary Family is doomed to be cancelled, the network has given us another one.
The TV series, about a super-powered family, has been struggling in the ratings for quite awhile and currently averages just a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.67 million viewers. Last week’s episode attracted only a 1.2 demo rating. ABC also recently cut the episode order from 22 to 20 installments.
Just days after production wrapped on what will likely be the final episode of No Ordinary Family, the show’s stars signed on for new CBS shows. Michael Chiklis will star in a new sitcom pilot called Vince Uncensored. Julie Benz has signed on for an as-yet-untitled supernatural medical drama, co-starring Patrick Wilson. (These are technically in second position but it’s certainly not a good sign.)
And now, ABC has decided to air the second-to-last season episode on a Saturday night. The network has pre-empted No Ordinary Family on March 29th with an hour special, Dancing with the Stars: The Story So Far. There are two episodes left so one will air this Saturday, March 26th, at 10pm. The finale will then air on Tuesday, April 5th, at its usual time.
What do you think? Is there still a chance that No Ordinary Family will be renewed?

wow.. whats the point of watching channel 9 now noting is going to come on im not watching that channel again
Really glad they are cancelling this show. Way to family oriented. Need to bring on another cop show about how criminals can kill the girl again and again. That is all that sells because crime is way up, except it is not. Sorry the show is going to be gone, it was getting better. I think they kids needed better powers. When in danger, all they could do was hide. The super brain could have shown more options to protect himself and the family. I suspect the biggest problem was the special effects and the budget. Network TV only wants… Read more »
my family and I have decided to drop our satelite company and go directly to movies only. This is the 5th series that has been dropped this year that we watch and this one was the best one ever. I don`t know what is wrong with the network system for averaging the demigraphics but to me they stink. You get tired of waiting for a show to come one every week and then boom they`ve decided to cancel it, if this show does get the ax it`s the last straw. This isn`t just my house hold that is doing there… Read more »
DO NOT CANCEL NO ORDINARY FAMILY! This is a great family show.
This show was my family’s number one show. It was just getting interesting with Katie and the superbaby. And the ratings was starting to rise again. Please leave it on!
Yeah if ABC doesn’t renew it for a second season, I won’t even tune in to ABC. I think No Ordinary Family is their best show. It’s an awesome show. It’s even a family show and there are too little of those on tv. SAVE NO ORDINARY FAMILY
PLEASE do NOT cancel this show! It is one of the most engaging TV shows on network television right now. The actors & writing are fantastic! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not cancel this show!!!
I hope it stays. I really like and it’s a breath of fresh air. Second best sci fi/fantasy show after Fringe.
Not surprised if it will be cancelled. Not enough T&A or bedroom scenes
WTF? That’s your big reason? “Not enough bedroom scenes”? Are you kidding me? This show is filled with excellent characters that the audience falls in love with, and now you’re saying there’s not enough bedroom scenes? Is this what society has come to? Only watch a show if there are bedroom scenes? You want some action in the bed? Look up porn and stop relying on a family with superpowers.
No Milos, that was not my big reason. I was saying the reason that it may be cancelled was due to not enough bedroom scenes. I really enjoy the show, especially the guy who was on Criminal Minds as the New Orleans policeman who married one of the investigators on that show, but on NOF, plays the son of Stephen Young’s character. It is a very enjoyable show to watch.
I really like this show and so does my dad. This is a great show! I hope it doesn’t get canceled. 🙁
I was really getting into the show. I hope they don’t pull the plug!
I though ABC was a better network than the other guys. They appeared to give TV shows a chance to attract a following. Now that “No Ordinary Family” has gotten great they decide to cancel it. What’s wrong with the big wigs? Someone email me the person’s name who decided that this was a good idea. I’d like to give him/her a piece of my mind.
Love this show, it should NOT be cancelled.
This show is so cancelled. The time travel plot (spoiler!) was the last straw.
I thought this show was doing good :S damn!
Damnit .. the eps were getting Goood … the writing was picking up quite well …. smh … ABC … lets keep killing the good shows … WHAT ARE YOU MORONS THINKING ??? … If anything this show should be on air right after all the super-hero summer block buster movies …. the audience will be there … and the show will have a familiarity so it’ll be an easy tune in. smh(i should have a job consulting things like this)
