No Ordinary Family snags Lucy Lawless

  Lucy Lawless, in the world of geek TV, the woman can pretty much do no wrong. She is of course most famous for playing “Xena: Warrior Princess” and at present plays the rather saucy Lucretia in “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” spinoff series “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena”. Now Lucy Lawless is heading back to...

No Ordinary Family and V down again

Oh dear, what’s that we can hear in the distance, is it the sound of bells tolling? ABC are probably thinking of ringing them as once more “No Ordinary Family” and “V” slip in the ratings. “No Ordinary Family” was down around 21%, with “V” down around 10%. The annoying thing for the average fan...

When casting goes bad No Ordinary Family

  Gee’s guys, who cast the weird looking creepy guy as The Watcher aka Will in “No Ordinary Family”. Seriously he looks like Sean Penn when he was in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.

No Ordinary Family loses Tate Donovan to cutting room floor

Word is Tate Donovan won’t be seen in the ABC superhero show No Ordinary Family, or he will, but for less than 10 seconds. I haven’t seen the screener in question yet, so can’t say first hand, but given he’s no longer with the show, it’s a safe bet this is true. Along with Donovan...
