    I highly doubt we'll be seeing this because I don't think CBS has enough room on their schedule, but the description sounds kind of interesting.

    Does this mean Ordinary Family got cancelled?

    No official word, but its ratings are atrocious and Michael Chiklis is already attached to a CBS comedy pilot called Vince Uncensored.

    They should actually call it "Untitled Supernatural Medical Drama".

    That would be awesome.

    :rommie:

    From the description, it sounds like the usual CBS twaddle. I'll be giving it a miss.

    Looks like Chiklis is jumping ship, too. Sounds like a more promising, if gimmicky, premise.

    I like Julie Benz, and she's beautiful, but somehow she's just not very charismatic. I just find her really boring no matter how well she acts. And the plot for this pilot is doubly boring. One of those heartwarming medical dramas.

    She might not be so boring if someone would give her a role that wasn't just "mom" - which is all I've ever seen her do.

    Someone hasn't seen either of the shows that put Julie Benz on the map...

    She never has seemed to match the charisma she had as Darla, has she?

    My wife and I are rewatching Angel (season 2) at the moment, and I find Julie absolutely stunning every moment she's on screen.

    Or her 8 or so episodes of Roswell season one where she plays an FBI agent who is keying in on the secrets the teens are keeping. I hated the open ended why they wrote her character out.

    She was incredibly charismatic as Darla.

    Well Temis never watched Buffy/Angel...

    Although this is a bit ironic since
    Darla did end up becoming a mom
    :rommie: But somehow I don't think that's what Temis meant... :)

    She even has more charisma than Charisma Carpenter!

    Benz was fun as a hick agent in the Boondock Saints II, as well.

    She was pretty good in Saw V. She was about the only person who could act.

    At first I thought that said "Vick Uncensored." That would be quite a show. I could even see it as a comedy. Not on CBS, of course.
