I finally had a chance to watch it tonight. It was pretty much as expected, before all of the negative critics chimed in.
It's basically Star Trek with a touch of humor. It's actually pretty silly that Paramount didn't license the Star Trek name to Seth MacFarlane for the show because it really walks a fine line between their IP and his new program.
I don't know if there's a large enough audience to sustain the budget of this show but if there is, I'd expect it only improve over time.
