Seth MacFarlane's Star Trek Spoof - The Orville

Yeah, I saw the original trailer and knew I wasn't interested even though Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite movies of all time. My impression was that it looked like MacFarlane’s usual fare (which I was never too huge a fan of) lazily dressed up in a Star Trek skin... but since Sepinwall's review it suggests I was wrong... but not any more worth watching.

The Critics Must Be Crazy: Seth MacFarlane's 'The Orville' Captures The Spirit Of 'Star Trek'

I don't know what to believe anymore!

Watched the pilot last night. I was actually surprised at how good this show is. I was expecting the typical fart joke humor of Seth McFarlane, like a Ted version of Star Trek. What I watched was a show that wanted to capture the essence of sci fi with a more comedic take. Yes, you have some Seth humor but its not to the extreme like Family Guy or Ted. From interviews of Seth talking about the show, he has said he plans on tackling social commentary of today's world in a sci-fi way, which was partly what Star Trek did. I look forward to this show continued growth. We'll see if we get that in the coming episodes. I would recommend this show to someone who likes their Star Trek with more humor.

It's weird to me every time I see "drama" being used to describe this show. But to be fair, I haven't watched it (and won't)

'Shameless' Star Jessica Szohr Joining Season 2 Of Fox's 'The Orville'

Not sure I would call her the star of that show. She is the tenant that lives in the building that Fiona now manages.

True, she is playing a pretty big role this season, but she wasn't on before and I bet she isn't on after this season.
