Kind of like Galaxy Quest: The Series, but without the meta angle. Not sure I'll stick around, but I enjoyed the trailer enough to give it a shot.

 

[SamT]

Interesting that it's a Dramedy. How could they make Drama in those cloths and settings?

 

[Chip_HT]

I really want to know how the all-male species reproduces.

 

[Osato]

Looks funny. I'll try and watch it this fall.

 

[NeilO]

Looks amusing, though highly derivative. I just hope that Victor Garber's role doesn't take him away from Legends of Tomorrow.

 

[Greg.K]

I'll try to give it a shot before it's cancelled after 5 episodes.

 

[spshultz]

I'll definitely give this a watch.

 

[Matt Hough]

Certainly funny enough to bring me on board for a few episodes to sample, but it's going to have a hard time making it against NBC's This Is Us and ABC's Scandal.

 

[Hanson]

It looks absolutely terrible. Not a single original or funny element. "Someone leaned on a button and broadcast the entire private conversation to the whole ship!"

Lame.

 

[DavidMiller]

Honestly, HBO/Showtime this could be funny... Fox it will be too tame to actually be funny. I might try a show or two but I don't have hopes for its success.

 

[ChristopherG]

While this looks like something I would love the clip provides zero interest. As Hanson said, lame. I will tune in for the premiere, however, based on that preview I expect to be disappointed...

 

[Johnny Angell]

I really want this to be good. Perhaps it will be like Galaxy Quest with bad taste.

 

[Francois Caron]

I'm giving it a chance for a few episodes. The trailer seemed to have done a decent job of explaining the basic premise of the show along with the pilot's main storyline without loading it with any significant spoilers.

Heck, I'm giving this new sci-fi show more attention than Star Trek Watchamacallit!

 

[Johnny Angell]

When does it start?

 

[DaveF]

I don't like The Family Guy. So while the trailer looks decent, I may not try it until / unless reviews are in.

 

[Joseph Bolus]

Well ... The SFX looks good!

I’ll give this a try and hope for the best ...

On hiring Jon Favreau, Jonathan Frakes, Robert Duncan McNeil and Brannon Braga to direct episodes:
"Those people are all from an era of sci-fi where it was a little more aspirational, it was a little more positive, it was little more fun, I think. I think we're kind of -- I am Hunger Games out. I think if I see one more dystopian movie about how bad the future's going to be, I'm just going to kill myself. It's just like, enough."

The early word is that this is much more of a dramedy than a comedy, with FOX's advertising really playing up the comedic side and downplaying the dramatic side.

They want to be careful about engaging in any bait-and-switch advertising, or those viewers that show up in week one may not return for week two.

Has Brannon Braga ever directed anything? I respect the other three, and I look forward to this series, but if I see one more Braga story about questioning reality, I'm going to scream. Someone take away the man's LSD.
