I'm really looking forward to it. It's got a big budget, great cast and a real opportunity to fill the massive void of a SciFi/Space Exploration program.
Yeah, I just feel like Tim Allen doesn't play smug prick but rather the likeable jackass role that Bill Murray seems to be born to play. Robert Downey Jr. also does that extremely well.

I don't know, but for whatever reason I get the feeling that guys like Allen, Murray, RDJ, etc... are guys that are playing characters that think they're better than the characters they're in a role with. MacFarlane, OTOH, gives off a vibe of an actor that thinks he's better than the audience he's deigning to cater to. Cumberbatch occasionally falls into that realm as well. He's a comedic version of Sean Penn, IMO.

I just have a visceral dislike of the guy anytime I see him on screen.
