Well, hell. I have a few episodes of The Orville on my SKY box, and when I saw MacFarlane himself was in it, I really wanted to delete them. But I decided to give it a chance. Now, if you're looking for something that will make you laugh till your sides ache, let me repeat one word: MacFarlane. Nobody will pretend that either Family Guy or American Dad (or, god help us, The Cleveland Show) ever approached being consistently funny. In fact, you could take a season of either show and you might get enough funny bits to make up half an episode. If you're lucky. So again, if you're looking for a show that will make you piss yourself laughing, look elsewhere. There aren't that many laugh-out-loud moments, at least in episode one and I have it on good authority that that trend continues throughout the series.

However, if you're looking for a fairly decently-written sci-fi show that pays homage to Star Trek, doesn't rip the piss out of it effectively enough but just enough to make you smile occasionally; in other words, a sci-fi show with a dash of comedy, or, to be more precise, a sci-fi show that doesn't take itself too seriously, then you might enjoy it.

All I know is that at the end of episode one I was saying "Yeah, not bad" and actually looking forward to the next one. Oh, and I managed to get past watching Mac's smarmy, self-satisfied mug. So yeah, I may stick with it. Give Mac his due: he can write (or have written for him and take the credit for) some not too bad sci-fi ideas. Could be interesting.

Say what you want but McConaughey's final performance at the end of S1 was some of the best acting I've ever seen.

American Dad is consistently funny.

Nah he's ****. Nowhere near as funny as he thinks he is. And I should know: I've suffered through all of FG and AD (though I draw the line at TCS). Sometimes he scores but most times he's way off to the left, right or it's blasted up into Row Z (Monkey will know).
Not even close. Most of the time it's just annoying, a lot of the time predictable and then there are the episodes where things just happen that have no explanation or reason, which gives Mac away as a lazy ****er who thinks he can write anything and never have to justify it. Yes, it's a cartoon but adults watch it and we want something that we can at least look at and go, oh yeah, I see. Not wtf??
You do realise that was you, don'tcha?
