It hasn't been officially canceled, that won't be told until I think sometime May when a official announcement on the series will be made. But it's just speculation now since there are so many signs that it doesn't have a chance at being renewed.

And I hope in that small slight chance it will not get canceled either.

The biggest sign I've seen is that both leads have supposedly signed onto new shows.



That's gotta hurt.

You are right about that, but at least it is only as a backup. They are still committed to this show, but are not sure if the network is picking it up yet. Anyone know of any good petitions online to sign for this show? I know that writing the network is best, but you know as well as I do that most people are generally too lazy, or pessimistic to write them. I found this sight that takes your vote on how the show is, and allows you to write a letter to the network about the show, which they will send for you. Not many people have done this, (I think about 5400+, or so), but it is always worth a shot. Maybe by posting it here, more ppl will go there and do just that!

I am desperately trying to get the show the recognition it deserves.

I hope it is not cancelled since it is one of the few things on TV I like, but there are many factors why this could be cancelled: The two main stars have signed onto unsold pilots for CBS, ABC put a new episode on Saturday, which is the time slot-o-death, and it is ending before May sweeps. Not dead yet, but it doesnt look good.

The show has been canceled. The season finale proves it. The story line seems vaguely like Prison Break and CSI Miami. We kept hearing how things were different now once the inmates break out of prison. On CSI Miami Horatio Caine was suppose to spend this season rounding up the biggest and the baddest prison escapees in Miami. But it took him all of 2 episodes to arrest a handful of criminals. As for Prison Break once they left the prison the writing suffered and the show got really stupid quick...like Heroes. If the Powells have to round up 80 criminals then they need more help. Josh has no powers and he was the best because he was like Sylar or Peter and could absorb others super abilities. I wonder what George's power would be. Anyway, the show was good for the few episodes, but when they started to introduce the shapeshifter the show went downhill from there. As far as I know...shapeshifting is not an ability that was used in Heroes nor has it been used in any place other than Star Trek.

You never know. V was given a second season even with low ratings.

I hope they continue with No Ordinary Family. It's one of my favorite shows. My brother and his wife like it a lot too. I hate to see smallville go too. But all good things...
Smallville is due to end :( But no ordinary family has barely began! Come on writers/producers! Find a way to make this happen!

reply

There was a shapeshifter on Heroes: James Martin, whose power is acquired by Sylar after Sylar kills him.

Things are looking grim for the show but there is a VERY important survey for USA today which can seriously help! The results will be sent to the network.

As of now there's no official annoucement. We won't know until May unfortunately. I'm really hoping it'll get picked up again but I have a feeling it won't with such low ratings. There's always some chance of getting picked up though with how many shows that haven't done well but they give it another try. To me, I'm happy they got to finish out the season and never moved to Friday nights

There are shapeshifters in fringe, but they are technicly not humans. So I guess its not an ability. But the same premiss.

reply

So... you think No Ordinary Family invented the idea of shapeshifting as a superpower?

Mystique from the X-Men

Maggie from Mosaic (there's actually a whole race of shapeshifters in this movie, but when she gets their ability in an accident she takes on some abilities that they don't have as well)

The Hulk (it's really specific what he turns into but it's still shapeshifting)

a number of characters in Sky High have it in some form or another (some have actual shapeshifting and some have a more Hulk-like transformation)

Martian Manhunter

Reed Richards (if you stretch the definition a little, pun intended)

Helen Parr from The Incredibles (see previous pun)

Wonder Twins (their powers are oddly specific with the limitation to animal and water forms, but it's still shapeshifting)

That's at least ten. The list could on, I'm sure. I'm using google a bit to keep myself going and I'm being loose with how I define it. (It's really a pretty vague term, and a lot of the really specific applications for it get assigned other names. (for example, regeneration) I mean, if superpowers really existed shapeshifting would be the ultimate power. You could do almost anything that any other super could do, if you can figure out how their power works. You wouldn't be limited like all of these characters have been. In fact, you would be a Peter Petrelli or a Sylar.) But the point is that there have been others.

Oh, and as someone else pointed out, Heroes did have a shapeshifter. Sylar killed him and took his power.

Also, kind of getting off-topic but the horror genre has werewolves as another type of example of shapeshifting. Some versions of vampires can transform into something as well. Then there's the original (as far as I know, I could be wrong) Hulk-like transformation in the form of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Sorry to say, but there was a shapeshifter in heroes. As there is in x-men...
