I hear great things about how well done the progressivism of #TheOrville is and that it’s a great show besides. I’d like to give it a chance, but I have some problems with #SethMacFarlane.
#FamilyGuy, his most well known property, is riddled with racism misogyny, and the like that, for me, crosses the line. I personally cancelled him a long time ago.
Help me though- has he gone on an “apology tour” (i.e. expressed regret)? Is modern Family Guy better? How can I forgive his past transgressions?
Lois, remember the time SirTapTap did a stream of a bunch of Family Guy YouTubePoops?!
VOD live, I got a bit too into this one if anything, was a super fun stream! Unironically a decent amount of editing into some of the YTPs of this show.
@GrimmReality Reminds me of a #FamilyGuy sequence where the talking dog character is in the back seat when he sees another dog and he starts shouting "Fuck you!" The most hilarious interpretation of dog behavior ever! Yours was clever too...
I can't believe I slept on #TheOrville as long as I did. I guess I was put off by the fact that MacFarlane is the #FamilyGuy guy. A Star Trek parody rooted in that style of humor did not appeal.
Imagine my surprise to learn that it's not a Star Trek parody. And it's not Family Guy-esque. At all.
It's just... well, it's not Start Trek. But it's like getting to watch a Star Trek unburdened by canon. MacFarlane has crafted a very fine love letter to Roddenberry here. #SciFi#ScienceFiction
@squigley "unburdened by canon" is a great way to explain it! I know soooooo many trek fans who lose their gagh because some Klingon clearly had different ridges 20 years earlier. This is ridiculous, of course. It's a story. And The Orville sidesteps this entirely, it truly is "unburdened by canon" :-D
