[cLOUDo]

so this is star trek discovery

 

[Himynameischris]

My love of Star Trek/Space and Sci Fi has me excited for this...but I've liked Family guy or Seths style of comedy....so I have mixed feelings about this.

 

[Lagamorph]

So.....not this Orville then?

 

[Bronx-Man]

This looks horrendous.

 

[ModernBoxes]

Trailer looked good. Let's hope it's not the only good parts.

 

[daffy]

yeah.... how about no. this wont make it out of the fall

 

[Mariolee]

Why couldn't we just get more Other Space instead?

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Sanjuro]

Might be better than the new Star Trek.

Might not be better than Other Space.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Trailer looked really fun.

Seth is insanely talented and has a legitimate love for space so I'm down for this.

 

[Ross61]

McFarlane has his hands on Fox balls so I wouldn't be surprised that this does end succeeding.

 

[JdFoX187]

It looks...decent? As a big Trek fan, I'll watch it. But seeing the sets and the admittedly decent (for television) special effects, it makes me wish we just had a decent new Trek series instead of this. And I'm not sure there's much hope for whatever the hell Star Trek Discovery turns out to be.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Noooooo

I want this badly but I don't want Seth behind or in front of the camera.

This feels like receiving a delicious birthday cake but the icing is literal shit.

 

[JABEE]

Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9sKeCE8V0

Norm MacDonald is the sludge.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

FOX? Will last 10 episodes.

 

[ZeoVGM]

McFarlane has his hands on Fox balls so I wouldn't be surprised that this does end succeeding.

I'm not quite sure how Seth having his "hands on Fox balls" would make the show have good ratings.

If it's a complete ratings disaster, Fox will cancel it.

 

[Kurdel]

What is the over under that his character was cryogenically frozen, and makes hilariously out of date jokes and references?

 

[jwk94]

FOX? Will last 10 episodes.

Pretty much. Show doesn't look half bad either.

 

[Transistor]

Considering A Million Ways to Die in the West is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, I have no hope for this

 

[Cardon]

Looked okay. It would be nice if the show ends up being akin to Red Dwarf in how it's a bunch of silliness with the occasional ep showing a bit of depth with the characters and writing.

But ultimately whether the show reaches the level of RD is if Fox doesn't can it after 5 eps.

 

[Darth Pinche]

How long until he does a musical episode? It will probably be one of the un-aired episodes after Fox cancels it.

 

[Breads]

I know a lot of people hated the idea, but I wish he would have gotten to reboot The Flintstones just to see what that would have been like. I think his silly humor along with just enough reigning in by Fox to keep The Flintstones at least at cool PG-13 levels could have been a potentially good combination.

I personally loved the idea. Although I don't like Family Guy any more I am still a Seth McFarlane fan and still regularly watch old FG and all of American Dad and I was looking forward to seeing the Flintstones thing coming to fruition and can't believe something like Bordertown was greenlit instead.

 

[Savitar]

His recent works has been pretty shitty, and I'm not just talking about the episode that Stewie made Brian eat his poop. Perhaps he'll make a good show but not counting on it.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Looks cool. Shame it will be canned. :-(

 

[Ross61]

I'm not quite sure how Seth having his "hands on Fox balls" would make the show have good ratings.

If it's a complete ratings disaster, Fox will cancel it.

Does Family Guy have good ratings?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Trailer started off slow but it got funnier as it went. I'll give it a shot. Probably be lucky to last a season but oh well.

 

[| Praxis |]

I hate this guy's humour, hate it, but love Star Trek. My brain hurts, but I'll give it a go I suppose.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

which alien race will have a Bostonian accent

 

[golem]

Looks alright actually

Why couldn't we just get more Other Space instead?

Other Space was awesome, someone needs to pick it up

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

So that one line in the trailer "the therapist was your brother-in-law!"

...wouldn't he be referring to his own biological brother?

 

[CommandThrower]

Looks surprisingly decent, but I'm not a fan of McFarlane's humor. So...I'll wait and see what the consensus is.

 

[Strax]

Omg is that Scott Grimes in the back?? I love his work on American Dad, I'm so in for this.

Dude was fantastic in Justified.

 

[Incendiary]

I might actually watch this. I don't like Family Guy and didn't really like the Ted movies, but I'm okay with Seth McFarlane anywhere else. I'll give it a chance.

 

[cartographer]

So that one line in the trailer "the therapist was your brother-in-law!"

...wouldn't he be referring to his own biological brother?

Or her sibling's husband.

 

[JeffZero]

Finally, space opera returns to network TV.

... :/

 

[User Name Here]

This might be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Exile20]

everyone of those jokes in the trailer were all played out. So predictable.

 

[Slayven]

McFarlane has his hands on Fox balls so I wouldn't be surprised that this does end succeeding.

Lol after his last few movies tanking? Fox got the balls

 

[spyroflame0487]

It sounds really cool...but Adrianne pls come back to Agents of SHIELD

 

[Alcotholic]

I wish the humor in sitcoms were a bit more genuine. I already hate all the characters.

 

[ViciousDS]

I don't know......seemed to make me smile throughout the trailer


thats enough to give it a go.

I liked a million ways to die in the west

Lol after his last few movies tanking? Fox got the balls

Ted 2 made like $216 million with a $60 mil budget and A million ways to die in the west made double its budget......what fucking tanks are you smoking?

His movies aren't huge but they easily make double of the budget

 

[hydruxo]

Looks kinda fun but the jokes in that trailer didn't land at all

Visually looks nice though!

 

[Graphics Horse]

So.....not this Orville then?

I'm just glad someone asked

 

[BlackBanditSho]

watch it be better than Discovery

I believe this.

Everything about Discovery annoys me.

At least with this, we MIGHT get weekly Galaxy Quest, ie, traditional trek values and themes + humor.

Discovery feels like, "Hey! We watched Galactica. We can do that!"

 

[JeffZero]

Discovery feels like, "Hey! We watched Galactica. We can do that!"

How is Discovery's pitch anything like BSG?

 

[Max Armstrong]

Trailer didn't look that bad but my god is Seth McFarlane a terrible actor, zero charisma and he can only do two faces. It must be unbearable to watch a series with him as the lead. Great voice though.

 

[BruceCLea]

Looks terrible.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Does Family Guy have good ratings?

Yes, why?

(There are also other aspects to keeping an animated show like that going that go past live ratings.)

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Does Family Guy have good ratings?

Sunday night is generally terrible for ratings so the cartoons on Fox that are super cheap to make and do decently is awesome for them.

 

[Sanjuro]

Wow. It does look like a better version of Star Trek.

 

[Jeffolation]

Yikes.
