Continuing the discussion from The Day the Music Burned:
@mriana Have you seen a show called The Orville yet? It’s patterned quite closely after Star Trek.
I’ve watched up to Season 1, ep 7 so far. I think they did a surprising job at melding (no pun intended) comedy with actually decent plots. It’s quite a bit different, imo, in the fact that it’s not really a parody or spoof, but they do inject comedy in some places you normally wouldn’t expect it. But 5 or 10 minutes of pure drama/action will pass before some comedy happens. Which works ok, because they can still have a mostly serious-Trek-like episode.
Anyway, imo, it’s more like Trek than Discovery (which I quit watching halfway through season 2 or 3.
One of the head writers is Seth McFarlane, so the humor resembles Family Guy a bit, but it’s not so overdone like the jokes in Family Guy.
