"When Star Trek Discovery is going to make it to the airwaves is anyone’s guess. Until then, though, we’ve got what looks like the next best thing: Seth MacFarlane’s spoof of the franchise, The Orville.

Fox just released the first trailer for the show, which stars MacFarlane and Adrianne Palicki as a divorced couple who are basically Kirk and Spock on a brand new spaceship with a suitably crazy crew."

I might actually like this more than ST Discovery.

Agreed!

 

[bittermann]

I'm one of the 4 or 5 people that actually enjoyed his Western movie, "A million ways to Die in the West" so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one.

I liked that movie too. This is definitely on my watch list.

 

[OzzieBloke]

I am actually looking forward to that. "A million ways to die in the west" was a bit too stupid for my liking, but given that I enjoy Trek, this might just work for me.

Set 300 years in the future, the show follows the adventures of the Orville, a not-so-top-of-the-line exploratory ship in Earth's interstellar Fleet. Facing cosmic challenges from without and within, this motley crew of space explorers will boldly go where no comedic drama has gone before.

Might be fun enough to watch, will definitely keep an eye on it.

Is it like Galaxy Quest?

Is it like Galaxy Quest?

No Seth M. movies are actually funny.

Kinda but they're not playing actors.

So was GQ.

I'm looking forward to this series. But it is on Fox, where good shows go to die and only the crappy ones survive.

So true. I just found out Fox has canceled Pitch, the show about the first (fictional) female MLB baseball player.

That western movie he did and that sitcom "dads" both sucked balls.

His only real hits are Family Guy, American Dad and Ted.

release date?

Wonder where the name comes from? Only Orville I have ever heard of is Orville Redenbacher...

Orville Wright, as in from the Wright brothers - if I were to make a guess it's a nod towards them.

Um, sometimes.

This looks like a play off the Galaxy Quest vibe, but a bit forced.

Will give it a go though, because why not

 

[Saggypoo]

but a bit forced.

Sounds like MacFarlane. He also reuses a lot of jokes, which is my only worry about this show. Otherwise it looks good.

 

[bacon]

This actually looks really promising.

 

[Nascar24]

Will watch but as others have said not much hope of this happening for long with the way they handled Firefly.

 

[OzzieBloke]

Sounds like MacFarlane. He also reuses a lot of jokes, which is my only worry about this show. Otherwise it looks good.

That's par for the course for him though. Same joke, different setting. It's only because I enjoy Trek that I'll likely enjoy this iteration of the jokes.
