I have come to the conclusion that Seth MacFarlane is not that funny. At least his idea of humor not come within the same 'universe' as what I consider funny. I should have known better than to even try this show after wasting an afternoon and quite a few bucks watching 'A million ways to die in the West' which in my opinion was the absolute worst movie ever.
The premise of Orville is spectacular. Turn the Star Trek universe on it's head with humor. I could already imagine someone getting promoted to 'red shirt' position only to beg not to be because he wanted to live or something like that...but we ended up with 'The Orville'. Instead of good humor we get... sorry attempts at humor and Seth MacFarlane's ideas on social commentary (Episode 3 is where I'm left the show). I don't watch TV for social commentary, I watch it to be entertained.
