If you are a fan of Dexter then you were totally heartbroken at the end of last season when Rita, Dexter's beloved wife and father of his new baby, was found bleeding out in a bathtub. Well you know why Rita had to die? To show up on the crappy new ABC show, No Ordinary Family. What a career move, go from a leading role on a top rated cable award winner to a medicore, hokey series with the possibility of cancellation on a regular network.
ABC has Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy going for them. That's about it.
Rita was Dexter's rock. Word has it she will appear in flashback; but what good does that do us! Now Dexter is going to go off the deep end.
Now Rita (aka Julie Benz) has been thrown into a family which looks nothing like her. Have you seen the children. The premise of the is that thanks to some kind of scientific mix up the family now all has super powers. Stephanie (aka Julie), the mom, has super speed, the dad, Michael Chiklis, has super strength and the daughter can read minds and the son is super smart. And because it is TV mom is an executive at a science research firm, dad is a police sketch artist and the kids are whiny adolescents.
For now they are all getting acquainted with their new powers; but I don't know if we will get time to see them actually start using them to fight crime and stop bad guys because I think this one is going to be canceled.
