I'll be surprised if that catches on. Looks kinda funny but people either love or hate Mcfarlane.

****, this looks amazing. McFarlane's Star Trek jokes were always on point in Family Guy. Now we get a whole show about them. IN!

Plus, the ex-wife is Ms. Perkins from John Wick, so she should be able to kick some serious ass!

I might actually watch a show on Fox for the first time since I fell asleep during the premier of the X-Files reboot.

A little McFarland goes a long way. I don't see any way this catches on.
When he can hide behind his animated characters and it's just his voice, the fact that he has the world's most punchable face is forgotten. But that guy would have a smug look on his face if he were getting anally raped by a football team. It's just the way he constantly looks. I just don't think he works in live-action. |

Galaxy Quest featured Tim Allen as a smug, asshole captain of a Starship and he was emoting Shatner, who was always smug and condescending as Captain/Admiral Kirk. I'm really looking forward to it. It's got a big budget, great cast and a real opportunity to fill the massive void of a SciFi/Space Exploration program. |

I don't know, but for whatever reason I get the feeling that guys like Allen, Murray, RDJ, etc... are guys that are playing characters that think they're better than the characters they're in a role with. MacFarlane, OTOH, gives off a vibe of an actor that thinks he's better than the audience he's deigning to cater to. Cumberbatch occasionally falls into that realm as well. He's a comedic version of Sean Penn, IMO. I just have a visceral dislike of the guy anytime I see him on screen. |

The only non-animated movie where Seth excels is Ted, and it's only because it's live-action, and you don't see Seth's face. He was in a kinda-Western, I think, but the only thing I remember is a dead Sheriff being dragged away by wolves while a self-aware Seth monologues while it happens. |

Bland enough, and I'm sure there will be occasional laughs, but not a trace of originality in sight.
Like a t-shirt for an OK concert, only you've already washed it 100x and left it laying on the pool deck for weeks on end. |
