I guess in my mind I didn't really categorize those as sci-fi comedies... more just sitcoms with alien characters.

Which is totally what I expected from The Orville based on the trailers.

Now that The Orville has been officially renewed for Season 2, I need to catch up on the last few episodes.

I hated that episode. Why did we have to watch whiny kids fighting? Kids don't change? They could have showed that in a couple of minutes.

They did. Several times in a row.

I've thought about giving the show a try, but am tired of Hollywood jamming their agenda down my throat - and I've heard this show does some of that. Does CP agree?

I wouldn't say they are "jamming" it but they are pushing it. They addressed same sex relationships in a rather unique way though.

There was one episode that was a tad anti-religious (the society entirely contained in a spaceship), but again, nothing compared to TNG where they outright express the danger of allowing religion to take hold on a planet. It seems like the writers are consciously avoiding being preachy so far.

Star Trek has always been a "morality tale", which is why the Abrams produced movies and even Enterprise have missed the mark. |

Tried watching this. Couldn't finish the first episode with the mom and two kids crash landing with the robot. Completely unwatchable.
