The Orville is some of the best scifi of all time. The guy who made family guy also making this is shocking but I'm so glad for it. The man can't give an inspiring speech to save his life and a lot of the character moments are pretty flat but that is all the critique I can give. The rest of the show is such a perfect balance of making high concept scifi grounded and real, making it weighty without being bleak or too glib, making it real to life without being preachy. Outstanding show.

it's less shocking once you see how huge of a trek nerd MacFarlane was as a kid!

He actually had a couple cameo appearences in ST Enterprise. Not my fav ST incarnation, but I was happy to spot him.
