Star Trek parodies have been around for decades, but never has a full television series tried to deliver a comedic take on Gene Roddenberry’s utopian future. But now, Seth MacFarlane has brought his unique talents as comedian, actor, writer, and director to the small screen with the new FOX television series, The Orville.
In this episode of The Edge, host Mike Schindler is joined by Brandi Jackola and Bruce Gibson to provide live reactions as they watch the first episode of The Orville. Plus, stay tuned until the end for a special announcement about the future of The Edge!
