Vulture making the comparison to the office job scenes of Mr. Incredible are off as well – he had powers and was attempting to work a normal job. If this show were about the day job escapades for the likes of say, Clark Kent, then it\’d be more apt. Anyway, maybe it isn\’t a half bad idea but it isn\’t exactly a half good one either.
