Who watched "The Orville," and what did you think?

Got it recorded. I'll watch it the first chance I get. |
Finally watched it. It has potential, however it could be a lot better with someone other than Seth McFarlane as the main character. His acting is mediocre at best.

I wasn't impressed. I'll give it one more show to win me over.

McFarlane made mildly amusing scenes seem dull. The helmsman was the only guy remotely funny. Because of McFarlane's dull acting and the mediocre writing, it doesn't stand up as a comedy. As sci-fi, it's just a *******ized Star Trek with modern cgi. Unless something drastically changes, what's already in the can is all there will ever be. |
I'm still trying to figure out if it is supposed to be "real" Sci-Fi with humor, or if it is a spoof of all Sci-Fi as a whole.
Seems to be a whacky LO-BRID mix of both.... |

Yep, and it could be really good with one or two actor changes and some better comedy writing. After only one episode, I'd call it a ST spoof because the mood music was supposed to sound like Star Trek, the starships were very much like ST, uniforms were STish, and the "Krill" ship was even green like many of the Klingon ships. They even went the ST route with the navy jobs... XO/1st officer, helmsman, navigator, etc. and used navy ranks. The only thing missing from it was that no red shirts died. |
I enjoyed it. But ... and a big but ...
I'm so sick of 24/7 hurricane coverage and Hillary's whining that it is a most welcome alternative. A REALLY welcome alternative. :) |
McFarlane is a voiceover guy trying to get a series deal. I wish him the best. :)

More like he's a big Star Trek fan and he found a way to get the network to pay for his fantasy to be a starship captain in a Star Trekesque universe.
