No Ordinary Family could be good, but I fucking hate Julie Benz. With a passion.

Re: ABC Announces new Fall Schedule
Now that I have viewed all the trailers, here are my thoughts:
Better Together: Like Joanna Garcia & Jennifer Finnigan. Could be funny, but I hate most single camera sitcoms with laugh tracks
Body of Proof: Like Dana Delany, so I will try this for sure. Timeslot sucks though.
Detroit 187: Will try at least the Pilot, but there is too many damn cop shows and the cast doesn't impress me.
Happy Endings: Looks like it could be funny. Maybe.
Mr. Sunshine: The trailer actually looked good. Like Perry, Anders and Allison Janney.
My Generation: Pass
No Ordinary Family: This one looks like a standout. The live action version of the Incredibles. Looking forward to it.
Off the Map: It's a Shonda show and looks different compared to Grey's and Private Practice being set in the Amazon. The cast is very weak though.
Secret Millionaire: Pass
The Whole Truth: Don't like Rob Morrow and Joely Richardson just quit the show, so Pass.

Yeah, she does look pretty great, as does the show! It's cool to see Schlamme port over a bunch of Sorkin regulars to the show (Perry, Janney, Nate Torrance and James Lesure)
No Ordinary Family looks a little iffy after watching the trailer, although Romany Malco and Jimmy Bennett look pretty good in it. I'll be tuning in.

Nice to see Jennifer Finnegan back on TV. It's funny, but the guy playing her boyfriend on this show was also her love interest on the old NBC show Committed.
I'd put ABC in between NBC and FOX in terms of their new shows. I saw some interesting stuff on NBC, and FOX didn't really offer me much I found interesting. ABC has some interesting stuff, but what looks like some crap as well.

Couldn't ABC, subsidiary of Disney, get Pixar, partner of Disney, to just produce a weekly, hour-long series of The Incredibles instead of No Ordinary Family? Because I'm pretty sure that no matter how many episodes I watch of it, I'm going to wish I was watching The Incredibles instead.

Yeah, I really hope ABC picks it up, but it seems unlikely at this point. Old Christine is one of the few shows that can take tired sitcom cliches and use them in new and unique ways. I wish ABC would pick up Old Christine and get rid of Cougar Town, which is just awful.

Lots of dramas!
"No Ordinary Family" - "The Incredibles" in live-action. I think i'm on board with this one.
"The Whole Truth" - Law show, meh.
"Mr Sunshine" - I have always liked Matthew Perry. Kinda lukewarm on this one, though. May give it a shot. Good to see Janney acting better after her LOST travesty.
"Better Together" - meh. The scenes with the parents were the only somewhat funny parts. Not sure that's enough to hold my interest.
"Body of Proof" - Miller High Life guy! Not enough for me to watch, though. CSI is already stretching the bounds of behind-the-scenes police work getting pushed to the forefront. Now we get a show strictly about an ME?
"My Generation" - Interesting premise. May be worth watching just to recap the past 10 years. Hopefully the documentary style doesn't get too annoying.
"Detroit 187" - Documentary style cop show, I guess? Will be interesting to see how that comes off.
"Secret Millionaire" - like "undercover boss"... which i watched for one episode and got bored with VERY quickly.
"Off the Map" - Add doctor dramas to law dramas in the category of shows i no longer care about.
"Happy Endings" - this had some laughs in the preview, but i would give it a shot solely because of Eliza Coupe. i LOVED her on Scrubs. I also liked Casey Wilson on SNL (was kinda bummed she left/was fired). And I had no idea Damon Wayans' son was almost 30!
