Then I don't either.  That show is terrible and doesn't even try to be funny.  And maybe that's the point.  Maybe Macfarlane is trying to do this straight up.  If so, then it's just a cheap ST:NG ripoff.  And if, somehow, he IS trying to be funny, then, it's a complete failure.

ya.... we've got hundreds of pages of proof about your lack of humor.
its like, an established fact around these parts.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

The fact that I recognize puns for their (almost) complete lack of redeeming qualities just shows that I am a man of high moral fiber and wit.

Series has been renewed: Fox renews The Orville

I am still watching each episode and enjoying the show for what it is.

Well, that's good news for them.

I'd stopped watching it after episode 2, not because I didn't like it, but didn't have much time and was worried it would be cancelled after one season.

I enjoy it (except for the Facebook episode last week).  It's not great but it's good enough.

Don't you want more from your entertainment than that though?  Especially with so many quality shows and instant access to them?

McFarlane is a Star Trek geek.  Here is a fan film he made as a teenager.
Probably explains why he is taking this show in such an odd direction.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"
