Maybe. But the main guy involved with The Orville is one of the nastiest guys, pushing all kinds of perversity on his Family Guy and his films.

True, but so far that's the ONLY negative that Orville has going for it, and the television networks manage to reign in MacFarlene much more than when he does a movie like "A Million Way to Die in the West"

I'd summarize the upcoming shows this way:

ORVILLE
+ Looks fun
+ Interesting characters
+ Doesn't give a crap about being P.C.
+ Actually LOOKS like Star Trek SHOULD look
+ Good Star Trek alumni working on the show
+ Airs on actual network television for free
+ Reminds me of Galaxy Quest, a terrific Star Trek parody
+ Doesn't have to worry about canon
+ Won't be pure slapstick comedy but a mixture of drama and parody
- Seth MacFarlene has a potty mouth and tends to make a lot of really vulgar and tasteless "jokes"

DISCOVERY
+ Good Star Trek alumni working on the show
+ Will bring back Harry Mudd in a more grounded role and give us some back story about him
+ Special effects look very cinematic and impressive
- Original Showrunner quit on them
- Endless delays
- Lots of BAD Star Trek alumni working on the show (Alex "I gave you Star Trek Into Darkness, the horrible Transformer sequels, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and that worthless Mummy remake with Tom Cruise" Kurtzman, puke)
- Lots of pandering to the SJW crowd to make the show "diverse" and "progressive"
- Doesn't look ANYTHING like a "prime timeline" Star Trek show set "10 years before Kirk" should look. Looks more like the Abrams movies
- Klingons look terrible
- 90% of the supposedly "new" aspects of the show have been on Star Trek countless times before
- Have to PAY for new "online streaming service only" just to watch the show

I catch myself watching “Family Guy” then realize I am watching absolute filth and turn the channel.
