I want to like Seth MacFarlane - but something about his comedy style, and also on the Orville, is very arrogant and self important. I mean, he kind has to be to put himself in every starring and singing role .
But as I was watching Orville I noticed that a series of young actresses came onto the show in big roles, and then left after a season. Turns out that corresponds directly with who Seth was dating at the time. Everyone is consenting adults and I haven't heard any allegations of misconduct, but he's like twice their age, and also their boss, and that kind of weirds me out.
Yeah, maybe it's the fact that anything so popular is inherently gonna cast too broad of a net to appeal to me, who can no longer relate to anything less esoteric than Pynchon, but the humor in the family guy seasons that were around when I still watched much TV seemed kinda...eh, bottom-of-the-barrel?
every family guy joke is either wacky absurdism, "eyyyy, black people am i right?", or a reference to a musical film that flopped at the box office in 1968.

The politics of the Orville made me cringe enough to stop watching.
It had some cringe parts, but the last episode was worth it.
