The Orville

[Mgderf]

Premiers tonight at 8pm on your local Fox entertainment network.
If you're not familiar, this is a new series starring Seth McFarlane.
It appears to be a spoof on the original Star Trek series and it looks hilarious.

Did I see that the Star Trek series is being renewed again...???

"A Billion Ways to Die In Space"

I sincerely hope it doesn't suck.

"Star Trek Discovery" I think

While I'd love to see it uncensored I'd have to wait for it to come out on the dish. It would have possibilities.

I hear that to... and that it will take cues from current events. It will suck.

The Orville: Seth MacFarlane discusses sci-fi, spaceships and politics

 

[Gabriel]

I don't think I have any way to watch it unless I can just go to FOX online and do it... which probably isn't possible.

Well, just watched it. I wish the animation was better... I mean the computer generated scenes that looked animated instead of having that real look. As for the show, standard space show. Story line has potential so I will give it another couple of weeks before making final judgement but at least it didn't turn me off completely in the first few minutes.

 

[churchmouse]

I missed it dang it.

 

[easy]

It's a bit of a spoof where Galaxy Quest meets Star Trek. I agree that it will need a couple more episodes to see if it will make it.

 

[chezuki]

We liked it. DVR is set for future episodes.

 

[Expat]

It kept my interest.

Good enough to watch next week. The make or break for me is how heavy-handed the inevitable socio-political messaging will be over time. If it gets sanctimonious and self-righteous like M*A*S*H, I'll be done.

Yep, so many good programs have been ruined by embracing the leftist agenda of indoctrinating the masses.

... and Ralph Kramden shouldn't have sang on the show.
Lots of ways to ruin a good show.

Kinda lost interest with marital infidelity being the grease at the start of the show. Called it on his new officer being his ex and walked away. Well, actually I have a gut bug and had to go back to the bathroom but I did walk rather than run.

"Star Trek Discovery" I think

the first episode will be free on network tv, all the rest will be streaming on the cbs app and you have to pay a subscription fee

well, that won't last long then... sounds like a recipe for failure.

That depends on how many nerds it takes to remain profitable.
