Having never been a Seth MacFarlane fan, when the first half of first episode of The Orville seemed to be a ST:TNG rip off, I was angry. How dare he, I thought. How did the ST franchise allow them to get away with this!!
And then I noticed Next Gen's and Voyager's Brannon Braga as executive producer, breathed a tentative sigh of relief, and settled in to pay attention. First episode not great, but the second directed by Voyager's Lt Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) gave us some of the same thought provoking morality situation we've come to expect from Star Trek, and the third episode directed by Braga himself, even more so.
By Episode 5 which is directed by Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) you know you are really in good hands, and begin to wonder about the behind the scenes politics as this show competes with CBS's ST: Discovery that has had such a hard time taking flight, and seems to reflect a much darker philosophy than Roddenberry's legacy should permit.
So I'm willing to tolerate some juvenile MacFarlane humor if that's the price for Braga keeping the ST flame alive.

Loved Cliff Calley on The West Wing. Really loved Hank Lawson on Royal Pains. Not loving 9JKL, although Mark's charm and Linda Lavin's quintessential stereotype of the Jewish mother are occasionally fun, in a kind of cringe-moment way. Elliott Gould adds a sweet if bumbling touch as the henpecked dad.
But sad to say that this sit com is the kind of insult to intelligence that made me leave broadcast channel shows years ago. The brother and sister in law are superfluous. Not sure of the purpose for the door man, although the reality check kid is useful. It must be really hard to write good 22 minute comedy.
I'd much rather see Feuerstein bring his charm and humor to another hour long drama that has something significant to say. Sorry, Mark, this show just isn't worthy of your talents.
