Well I have no interest in this because I’m an adult and don’t watch children’s cartoons. More dross from Kurtzman that will further denigrate Star Trek.
I'm sorry, but this sounds fucking stupid. An animated comedy series? Ehhh... From the head writer of Rick and Morty? Helllllll no.
" will follow the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least-important ships."
My, doesn't that sound like a thrilling adventure?

The other thing about an animated series if you can more easily having real alien aliens since you don't have to deal with makeup/cgi and having a human actor underneath.
Well, the premise for Red Dwarf sounds stupid too, and that show is awesome.
That's nice. No one will force you to sully yourself, I'm sure. I guess we can all look forward to a complete lack of further commentary on this matter, given the "no interest" expressed here?
Do you have to tell everyone every day that you hate something?
I like cartoons. I like many comedies. I like Star Trek and chocolate in my peanut butter.
I would like to know more.

I was hoping for an epic, animated version of Star Trek like what Clone Wars did for Star Wars canon, but this is totally okay by me because I also like adult animated sitcoms. While I love Rick and Morty, having one of its writers on board got a double-take from me (not because I think its a fundamentally bad idea, it was just a surprise), but there's a lot of great high sci-fi concepts on that show. I'm definitely more excited for this because he is behind @TNG_S8!
I also happy that I was surprised by this announcement because finding out Star Trek is going some place I wasn't expecting, but am okay with, is exciting!

Oh, it was confirmed as a children's cartoon? This is why I like to go blind into things I want to watch, I never manage to stay up to date anyway
This, so far, sounds like something I was hoping Paramount would have done when they alone had Star Trek. Disney beat them to it with Galaxy Quest and the movie Free Enterprise was also something I thought should have been done by Paramount: something that has fun with the universe, shows a respect for the various Trek series and movies, but has fun with it.
Instead, Paramount put their money behind the Trekkies movies, which I think did more harm than good.

I don't think it's going to be a stupid, slapstick comedy. It's probably going to be a lighter take on the part of Starfleet we never see. Not everyone in Starfleet is the best of the best, serving on the Flagship on the front lines.
They might be assuming adult oriented given Rick and Morty on the resume, but writers can write more than one type of show so there's that. I wonder what type of animation it will be.
Really, they need one aimed at kids to get them watching the movies... but CBS aren't exactly going to promote Paramount's movies.
And after Calypso promo, this was actually the second time I was reminded of Red Dwarf today. Is this conspiracy or something?
All I want to know at the moment is which era, which timeline?
