Despite my deadly allergy to all of Seth MacFarlane's animation (I don't care how lukewarm the scripts may be, those shows are unwatchable based on their visuals alone), as well my general apprehension about the smarm the guy himself gives off, I found this preview fairly amusing. Can it possibly avoid Powerless' fate of being a first-season cancellation? I highly doubt it, especially given the high-budget look of those effects, nor am I optimistic that the show itself will be tolerable for more than an episode or two. But, it is apparently a Thing that Exists, so, uh, enjoy?

I get a GALAXYQUEST vibe off of it. Which is a good thing. I am looking forward to this.
