Not everything, but this looks horrible (for me anyway).

You're right, it does look like fun. Reminds me of some other sci/fi series but I can't quite put my finger on it. 

Something Quest? I feel confident that's close.  :coolsmiley:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Watched most of the first episode.  It was ok.  Not really all that funny nor very sci-fi.  Don't think it'll make it 1 season, unless it's cheap to produce and Fox doesn't have anything else to waste money on.

I watched it just for the reason that MacFarlane is a big Star Trek fan and you can certainly see the references to Trek in the show.

Not bad. Enough to get me to watch the next episode.

Early ratings on IMDB give the show 7.5/10.

I missed the first 20 minutes.  Wasn't super impressed but I definitely got the vibe they were trying hard to emulate.

Seems like the show has gotten off to a decent start ratings wise:

"As it currently stands, "The Orville" averaged a 2.3 rating in adults 18-49 and 7.3 million total viewers, airing at 8 p.m. That means it is currently the second-biggest broadcast drama premiere in the key demo since NBC's "This Is Us" last September (2.8), excluding Super Bowl lead-ins. In addition, the show was the most social scripted program on broadcast Sunday based on total Twitter interactions."
