This concept has great potential -- just look at what "The Incredibles (2004)" did with it.
Sadly, this show just doesn't live up to the potential. It should be about how the family learns to live with their gifts and learns from their mistakes. Instead, it is about how often they repeat the same stupid mistakes and act totally inconsistently.
Teenagers acting stupidly is one thing -- this is what teenagers do. The problem is that it's just not interesting. Even an artsy father acting stupidly is believable -- once. However, a top-level research scientist acting stupidly over and over is just not believable.
IF this show is to make it to a second season, its only hope is a total replacement of the writing staff.
