When I covered ABC’s upfronts on Wednesday, there wasn’t a trailer for No Ordinary Family, a drama about a husband and wife (Dexter‘s Julie Benz and The Shield‘s Michael Chiklis) and their kids who all get superpowers in a plane crash. Well, now there is. Enjoy!

The CW’s new Fall 2010 shows
Rounding the upfronts off, it’s time to look at The CW’s new shows for Fall 2010. There’s two of them, so this won’t be hard.
First up is Hellcats, which is exec-produced by Superman himself, Tom Welling. It’s about cheerleaders. That’s all you really need to know.
The second is Nikita, which stars Maggie Q as Nikita. Looks more than a bit rubbish to me and the acting is truly dreadful, but let’s see how it pans out.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: Achieving Name-Check Status
This week, Ali Larter has mostly been achieving name-check status on The Office thanks to Obsessed:
But she’s also been off shooting something – a short film possibly involving food or drink for Absolut – with Amanda De Cadenet for five days in one of the most famous houses in Los Angeles.
As if that weren’t enough, she’s also joined up with all the other members of the Heroes cast to send a farewell message to fans:
Heroes started as a story about ordinary people that tapped into the dreams and fears in all of us. It made us believe, and it inspired and entertained us on so many levels. I remember reading the pilot, and you just new it was something special. Being so drawn to Nikki… She felt so bare and daring at the same time. I felt so lucky to work with such a talented cast and crew. They always cared about the work, and always wanted to make an environment where we could soar creatively. Heroes pushed me, challenged me, and gave me some of the greatest rewards in my life. Friends and memories that I will cherish forever. There is one reason that we had that chance, and it is because of the undying support of out true fans. For that, I am forever grateful. xx, Ali
Nice.
But what am I going to watch instead of Heroes now?
