I really should have posted this earlier, but it completely slipped my mind. ABC had an online preview of the No Ordinary Family pilot. Not sure if the link still works, but you can try signing up here:
Just a couple of spoiler free thoughts. Michael Chiklis plays a corrupt cop on the edge and he's about to -- er... sorry, wrong show. Chiklis actually plays a police artist and dad, Julie Benz is the hot scientist mom and two cranky teens round out this mildly dysfunctional bunch. An attempt at family time goes horribly wrong when their plane crashes in the Amazon. They survive their ordeal unharmed, but forever changed.

I could easily see this as a one-shot cable movie or several cable movies, but a full-fledged series? I have my doubts. Still, it's just a pilot. Gotta wait and see.
