The Orville
 

Anyone watching this show?

I thought it was off to a slow start and might not survive but... its actually getting pretty good!

I enjoy it. Yes, I am a trekkie, and I like both The Orville and Discovery. I am happy they are running, and hope that Fox keeps it around.

Believe it or not, I'm actually watching it at this very moment.

I just paused it to take a piss, and happened to sit at the computer for a few moments before restarting.

I actually enjoy it, and I'm not a huge scifi fan as such. Nor a huge Seth Fan either... But as a show in its own right, its pretty good :)

So tempted to post a picture of that duck!

Tried with the first two episodes, just silly.

Good stuff! The humor isn't over the top. I was a big TNG fan, which it seems to model closely. Seth MacFarlane does a pretty good job containing his trademark smirk. :thumbsup

Its not bad, not great but not bad..

Starting with the third episode they got more serious.

.

haven't heard of it yet.

What do you think of the new star trek? I really liked the first few episodes but starting to lose interest.

Been watching it from the start.

same here :1orglaugh

I like it. Has room to improve, but I like that they are only doing 13 episode seasons due to Seth's schedule. Gives it a better chance to hit the right note on every episode.

It does fairly well in the live + 7 ratings as well, so I am sure he can get a few seasons out of it at least.

I like Trek, but you're right - it requires alot of effort to stay interested. To me so far, it's still way to political and not nearly enough sci-fi.

As for Orville, here's some interesting .. stuff.

Suck it, Marvel-hating douchebags

Now only if I could get past the third eye growing

I have been watching it and I am still on board - it took a couple of episodes to get it but I do enjoy it - it's not like a traditional sitcom show but the jokes seem to be inspired from that type of comedy - it's fun and there's been some very good cameos in it so far.

Same here. I was expecting a laugh-riot, but it only had a couple of ho-hum jokes. Then I realized its more of a drama. Then of course I saw that it borrows heavily from the original Trek, etc...

... but its starting to grow on me. The last episode was good. It could have been better, but it was good.

After a couple drinks its FANTASTIC!!!

I've been watching it, but the comedy is off the mark and it's a little heavy-handed with the social commentary.
