The Family is a political thriller/mystery show that will premiere on Thursday, March 3rd at 9/8c on ABC.  After this special premiere, the show will go to its regular time slot at the same time but on Sunday nights, starting on March 6th.  The competition for this time slot will be fierce, with other shows such as The Good Wife, Family Guy, Downton Abbey, and The Walking Dead airing at the same time.  Initial ratings from IMDb give the show a modest 6.7/10, though it will be interesting to see how this changes once the show actually airs, as well as to see what kind of rating it gets from sites such as Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.  The nondescript name of the show did not catch my attention or give me any indication of what the show would be about, but the trailer is intriguing and perhaps heavy promotion can reel in a sizable audience for the premiere.
