Because "No Ordinary Family" has far more in common with "Swiss Family Robinson" than NBC's Chuck or its flash-in-the-pan "Heroes," it comes as little surprise that this family drama with superpowers comes to life on Disney-property ABC. Culled, of course, from the world of graphic novels, "No Ordinary Family" introduces us to Dad, Mom, and two teenagers beset with the normal collection of post-modern developmental and relational complaints, the youngest boasting the added difficulty of a learning disability. After surviving a light-plane crash in the Amazon, the family returns home to discover their ordeal has invested them with super-powers which seem to compensate precisely for their previous inadequacies. Still in its infancy, "No Ordinary Family" faces an unusual challenge: Can it continue developing the lives and times of a typical Southern California family even as it sets the fearsome foursome in hot pursuit of villains culled from the most frightening pages of graphic novels? If it succeeds, "No Ordinary Family" will have added a twenty-first century dimension to Walt Disney's concept of "the plausible impossible."

In its first incarnation, "The A-Team" ran for five primetime years on NBC, extending George Peppard's career and launching Mr. T's. The producers sum-up the A-Team's premise, "Four Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn't commit, help the innocent while on the run from the military." Although the show has the look and feel of other seventies crime-drama hits from producer Steven J. Cannell, "The A-Team" aired between 1983 and 1986, when its inevitable associations with and allusions to VietNam Special Forces no longer provoked or disturbed anti-war viewers. Moreover, "The A-Team" piqued Americans' fierce devotion to underdogs, frequently reminding viewers how the lovable, wise-cracking misfits were framed"”fugitives from injustice, always aligning them with society's oppressed and disenfranchised, and often showing them "MacGivering" ingenious weapons from junkyard parts and duct tape"”the more insidious side of legendary American ingenuity. "The A-Team" persisted in flagrant political incorrectness, often disparaging women and indulging the audience's taste for gratuitous violence, redeemed primarily by its cartoonish quality. Producers reprised the concept for a 2010 feature film that sparked renewed interest in the original show, driving fans to Fancast, IMDd, and Amazon Video on Demand for their regular "A-Team" fixes.

The contestants can build a single camp, two camps, or not even have a designated camp, it's up to them to decide. And there will be even more reward challenges than before plus no Redemption Island.
