DVR is now locked in, bring it on. It looks to have a bit of a jump on the rest of the fall TV schedule so it should be interesting to see how it fares.
News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
Does anyone know when and where this will be shown in the UK? I can't find any info anywhere.
Which I hated at first, but warmed up to it a bit later. Very unexpectedly.
That sounds encouraging in terms of quality-- but discouraging in terms of ratings.
Critics have a tendency to over-analyze things, finding things that more than likely aren't there to find, or not managing expectations in general. I read some of their notions, but take it all with a grain of sand and make my own judgments after I've seen it.
I'm about 100 times more excited for The Orville than I am for discovery.
Several Trek actors have directed episodes.

Frakes directed both.
Nowhere yet. I hope somewhere picks it up though.
Just set my DVR to record the series.
I noticed that, on the premier date of September 10, 2017, there is an NFL game in the late afternoon whose time slot ends only 30 minutes before the Orville premier that could therefore theoretically delay the premier. So, my advice is be prepared for that possibility. Gods forbid that they join the premier already in progress.

Ugh, that's the situation that so often plagued "Futurama". With a 7 PM slot, ball games often ran overtime, either pushing back the episode to a weird start time, starting "already in progress" or outright delaying it until the next week. As a result, it never quite had the chance to build a large enough, stable audience.
House got hit many times by the NFL when it was still on. Very frustrating. Yeah, I just hope whoever's playing that night makes it a total blowout so there's no OT threat.
I think Firefly got preempted by baseball a few times IIRC.
You know what's worse than a game pre-empting or completely removing something that was to air after it? Fucking local basketball on radio. It comes in, has two dudes who'd be good at talking paint into drying, and then you hear the game, instead of the program that was to air. And no pre-empting -- it just doesn't air at all aterwards.
