"I don't know how Moonraker isn't Sci-Fi if The Orville is." --Kevin We take a look at the first 3 episodes of the hot new FOX show The Orville.  From the mind of Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted, American Dad) comes what is seemingly a love letter to Star Trek:  The Next Generation.  So, why does it also seemingly fall so flat?  We're open to the path ahead, but so far the road is bumpy and unfunny.  If this description alone is not enough for ya, please give us a listen.   BIBLIOGRAPHY: MOVIES: The Orville, 2017, Fox Networks   SPOILER POLICY:  We take a “fly on the wall” approach to our listeners.  As such, some of what we discuss falls into the realm of SPOILERS.  Consider yourself warned.

"Does a spaceship make it sci-fi?"   Come along with us for an episode that was originally recorded in January of 2021, deep in the throes of the pandemic.  So, does this mean The Busy Dads are back?  More will be revealed. What it DOES mean is that we had a few episodes "in the can" and there is no way we couldn't just thrust them upon the world. Join Kevin & George as we wonder on whether ET:  The Extra-Terrestrial is more of a fairy tale or a science fiction movie.
