Off The Map and No Ordinary Family End Their Seasons
Both “Off the Map” and “No Ordinary Family” had their season finales this week. Unfortunately the ratings for both were not stellar, and it is a long shot for either of them to get a second season. Julie Benz and Michael Chiklis of “No Ordinary Family” already have pilots booked for the new fall season, another bad sign.
I really did enjoy “Off the Map.” The show started out way too transparent and predictable, and I think that turned a lot off. However over time it got better, with the character story lines going deeper. All the shades of grey stories with the doctors were great, and the show was definitely more gory than Grey’s and Practice combined. We of course were left with the major cliff hangers of whether Ryan would get her heart and whether Mateo would live. My guesses are yes and no . . . but we’ll probably never know.
“No Ordinary Family” . . . well from the start I felt putting it up against “Glee” was just a bad move. The show started off well, but half way through got boring. I was only interested in Katie and Joshua for awhile . . . not the Powells. That isn’t good. However later with the introduction of Lucy Lawless, I think things got good again. The show ended with King’s death (which was awesome!), the Powells being asked to work for the government to round up Mrs. X’s newly created super villains. Oh and then there was George, who was mistakenly put on the plane and now has his own super powers . . . but alas we may never know what his powers are.
