Weird premiere date?


Sounds like FOX doesn’t have much faith in it?

Fox screwed the pooch with Firefly, so yeah, they probably don't have much faith in it.







(and no, Orville is not as good or the same as Firefly, but it's definitely good enough. Fox will still **** it up, you watch.)

What are the redeeming qualities that make Orville good TV? Never watched it but I've went to shows like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia because people swore by it and I;m glad I did.

Also eager to see and learn

It’s basically Star Trek Next Generation Lite with humor.

And it’s far better than what’s currently passing as actual Star Trek.

First episode or two the humor was a little forced. After that, MacFarlane started making the Trek-style show he’d always wanted. Still has humor and human interactions, also pushes some Trek style storylines (gender choice, Internet voting and superficiality, science of a 2D universe, et cetera).

The season opener sucked. Hard. Mercer stalking Kelly, the doctor's brat getting mixed up with a bad kid, Bortus having to go home to pee. WTF? Worst episode of the show so far. Can't believe they used it as a season opener; if that had been the first episode I ever watched, I would not watch again.

No where to go but up, I guess.

:shake:

I thought it was great. Only part I didn't like was alara (is that her name?) getting set up with the alien. It's nice having an episode of entirely dialogue. To each their own.

What a season opening bomb yuk I had to switch to the Sunday night football game half hour in.

Huge disappointment.

Well that sucks. I was bummed I forgot about it, but maybe nor so much now.

You are correct. Jason Alexander is listed in the cast.

The one that really cracked me up was when I realized it was Rob Lowe who played the blue alien that ****ed Kelly.

yeah, not a good season opener. Felt like a stupid filler episode but why would you open with a filler episode? Oh well, hopefully thats the only stinker.
