LGM admittedly starts out bad, with the latest casual means of introducing time travel. Make it through that, then there's a genuinely fun episode involved... even if there's one really lame in-joke that they metaphorically whack across your face with exploring new civilizations and aping the TOS verbiage Kirk spoke... the assumption that the begins from outer space were grooming each other was a little hokey, but that's the worst of it all.
"Futurama" also parodied DS9's "you are your own grampa" moment too, to much better effect than DS9's take on that idea where Bashir et al played it straight....
"The Orville" definitely tried to limbo under the absurdity bar when seemingly being influenced by two TNG episodes to make "Lasting Impressions" with: "Hollow Pursuits" was a springboard in terms of holodeck addiction, then mixing in an updated twist of "Booby Trap" by extrapolating a smartphone's content as opposed to personal log files (and unconvincingly so in both the technical and linguistic elements (especially the latter) but many "The Orville" fans think it's one of the best. I think there's much stronger from the show's first two year's but it's all subjective anyway...)
