I'm not very enthusiastic about the show.
- Not sure what this show is trying to be.
- Characters and dialogue seem wooden and stiff.
- If it's supposed to be funny, it's not.
So right now I'd have to say the show is stupid and boring.
BUT .... its only been one episode. I saw a few things that maybe perhaps give signs it may have potential. Have to see a few more shows before its fate is decided in my household.

Yeah, pretty much this. The " humor " is too wooden, set up and obvious. As I said, it's like listening to an episode of Family Guy.
Also, we're suppose to believe that a captain gets assigned to a ship, that he's never even read up on what it looks like or knows the specs or capabilities of the ship before he lays eyes on it for the first time ?
I'd have thought there'd be some sort of ' Welcome to the Orville ' reading material they'd have given him... Oh well.

That's probably why the idiot execs at Fox love it so much. Seth McFarlane is as stiff and unfunny as they come. I remember when he completely bombed as host for the Oscars. It was painful to watch.

Maybe one day an adversary, like say Sarris, will challenge his knowledge of the ship, and he'll have to shout out "I'm not the Captain!"

The Federation Starship template for the ship design is what it is, I guess.
2nd episode a bit too preachy. Now ' zoos ' are evil archaic throw backs to when humans were brutal, backwards and still not ' woke ' ?
Good grief.

I find that easier to believe than "hey, let's make the guy that we were about to expel from the Academy the Captain of our fleet's Flagship! All these other folks with earned rank and experience after years of service that are lined up for a command? Meh, screw 'em. This dude survived a mission! We can waive all the training requirements."

Are you referring to Kirk and the Kobayashi Maru ? Because as I recall, he didn't technically get caught, because they didn't know how he changed the rules... or am I wrong about that ?
