    Seth MacFarlane gets crap for his writing style, but I’m totally a sucker for it. I especially enjoy when he’s on screen. 1000 Ways to Die in the West and The Orville are amazing works from him that I thoroughly enjoy. I really wish he did more live action work.

      Imo, orvile was the best star trek series since DS9 and only “strange new worlds” which they only did due to the success of Orvile has surpassed it. I’m genuinely staggered by how well he did with it.

      Does he get crap fornhis writing style in general? I thought it was jut Family Guy, with stories that keep getting interrupted by cutaway gags all the time

      I felt like Orville succeeded despite him. I think he’s okay but I’ve seen him play himself a thousand times before and idc anymore. If he’s writing for it, it’s still good and I really think the rest of the cast is what kept me coming back. #teamgordon

        I’ve never really enjoyed his style of humor, but his dramatic writing is great. The Orville is at its best in its more serious moments and I usually feel like I have to tolerate the comedic elements to get to the good parts.

        The Orville felt like he wanted to actually make a star trek the next generation clone, and Fox wanted the family guy in space. Because I feel like season 2 really got it. And then fox canned it.

        Yeah… I’ve watched all of his stuff but his like… stammering to get a joke out that’s super characteristic of his is particularly grating now. Love everything he’s done but that particular quirk I could do without.
