Didn't The Orville already cover this anyway? Without screwing with an existing franchise for jokes.

The Orville was never funny, and it got much better when it stopped trying to be. Star Trek has a pretty good track record with humour. Especially where Newsome is concerned.

I noped out of that show after the episode where the entire engineering crew spends an hour trying to access the ancient secret data vault that is…some girls iPhone. Trek definitely has better humor as well as poignant and serious topics.

I think The Orville improves over time - I initially hated both Isaac and Gordon, but they do good things with them later.
