Any time anyone says Hollywood is stuck in a loop of regurgitating ideas and playing it safe, it’s your duty to point the accuser towards Ted 2 and Seth MacFarlane. Not in terms of him making a film about a puerile, weed-loving teddy bear, but more specifically in terms of the gags he pulls off. Every time there’s a joke in there that leaves you slack-jawed and every time an A-lister takes a verbal beating, it’s MacFarlane pushing his luck and getting away with it.

Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming Fox drama The Orville looks a lot like Star Trek. It’s pretty clearly a Trek spoof to some degree (the show plays more like a dramedy than you might expect), with MacFarlane playing a starship captain. The series even shares some credits with Trek, with a veteran Trek producer (Brannon Braga) on board and a few directors with Trek credits.
