In an article I read recently, courtesy of Michael Ausiello on tvline.com, he exclusively reports Lucy Lawless will be joining the cast of No Ordinary Family for the remainder of the season. She will play a powerful woman and adversary for the Powell family. I know the ratings for No Ordinary Family haven’t been the greatest (that’s putting it mildly), but it sounds to me like the powers that be have come up with an excellent way to boost them. Lawless is best known for her role in Xena: Warrior Princess and more recently, as the conniving Lucretia in Spartacus: Blood and Sand. She is a wonderful actress, beautiful and has a commanding presence on screen. However, whether Lawless can save this show from the drink and bring about a second season renewal remains to be seen.

It wouldn’t be the first time a well-known actress has revived a failing show. Think Heather Locklear. Not only did she rescue the original Melrose Place, but she gave a much needed boost to Michael J. Fox’s show, Spin City. She wasn’t as lucky though when she tried to help the reworked Melrose Place last season. Their ratings were so abysmal, there was no way anything or anyone could help the show.

All this begs the question: Is it really a person who saves a show? Or is it the writing? While No Ordinary Family received plenty of hype at the beginning of the season, it has failed to live up to its expectations despite its excellent cast. So tell me, what do you think? Can Lucy Lawless save this show? Or do the writers have to step up their game?

Spoiler Alert!

By the way, for you Lucy Lawless fans out there. Yes, there is a second season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand! And yes, she will be in it! Lawless will be heading to New Zealand to start shooting once her stint on No Ordinary Family is finished. I knew she wasn’t dead! Her fingers wiggled too much as she lie there bleeding in the season finale last year.
