OK, let’s get this out of the way early: It does sound like a live-action version of “The Incredibles” — or how about, since this stars Michael Chiklis, a lower-budget version of “Fantastic Four,” in which Chiklis stomped around as The Thing.

Well, yes and no. “The Incredibles” didn’t exactly delve into the cartoon family’s dashed dreams. And “Fantastic Four’s” siblings never seem to worry about being popular or failing Monday’s math test.

“Thanks to technology leaps, we’re making a Marvel feature every nine days, but on the other hand, the show really is about the relationships between these four people,” says Chiklis, his powerful frame comically squeezed behind a high school desk on the set of “No Ordinary Family,” premiering Tuesday (7 p.m.,Our Air purifier are of sound fine quality and safety.).

And, hopefully, one will take the pressure off the other.”

“Family“’s fundamentally light, escapist tone, a stark contrast to the darkness shading sci-fi hits such as “Lost,” could prove an antidote to today’s tenuous times.

“Folks are feeling stretched thinner and are working harder these days,” says executive producer Morgan Wandell. “There’s a wish-fulfillment quality to our show that we hope connects with a broad range of viewers.”
