I'm not much of a MacFarlane fan, but I do like Favreau's stuff.

Well I'm hooked. Reminds me of Galaxy Quest. Great cast, great potential, perfect for Fox to screw up and cancel. #here_we_go_again

Yeah, that was my first thought when I saw it was FOX.
I guess we'll see.

Is that one a Kitty Hawk Class?

Other than McFarlane, looks good. Only one episode from Favreau (Zathura, Deep Impact), but the ladies from SHIELD and Castle add to the lure. And some other model-type seems to have dyed her hair dark - always a promising sign. Norm MacDonald is fine with me, also.

Has anybody seen "Before I Fall" yet?

Pilot directed by Jon Favreau, good call. But all of the cartoon graphics seem goofy - not as good as Last Action Hero.

Maybe they coulda made the boat a little more palatial - there may have been one or 2 rooms where the entire crew might not have fit in.
I was hoping for something less sophomoric. Even a wonderful director couldn't save it.

Close your eyes and imagine Family Guy's Brian the dog talking, and the two shows are interchangeable. Some of the same sorts of gags and joke set ups.

Seriously, it reminded me of Galaxy Quest, if it were set in its own world.

Also, in 400+ years, we've not only traversed the galaxy, but have met new life forms and intelligent species, peacefully integrated with them, not all of them humanoid, to such a level as to have them serve on our ships.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

OK. I didn't know it was just Family Guy with different clothes. Hadn't seen that info before, now I can just avoid it. What a relief.

I caught it Sunday night, (had to get away from the storm coverage) I thought it was good. I'll check it out again next Sunday, but I'm REALLY looking forward to the return of "Gotham".

Seriously, the tired old Star Trek format is the best he can come up with ? And 2 captain's chairs ? Really? One indistinguishable from the other...

Select to view spoiler:

And the fact out of 3,000 ships, his cheating ex-wife is the ONLY person they could come up with as a suitable 1st officer ? The woman who JUSTIFIES her infidelity, and still doesn't back down from the - " Well, if you didn't ignore me so much, I'd not have to whore around ... " as a valid excuse... complete train wreck of a situation.

Punt.
