Yes because it is not good

After the move from Sunday to Thursday, it's ratings dropped by half to about 3-4 million. The Good Guys pulled similar numbers and got good reviews and was still canceled after one season.

yes, because it's fox.

ftfy


only Xfiles and fringe were fox sci fi that went more than one season.

Probably

This. Fox drops shows as quickly as they air them. A very good yet failed attempt to compete with STD but the popcorn eating masses have spoken.

Yes, because it hasn't really picked up any cultural traction and all that CGI looks pretty expensive

Yup, simply because it's not "profitable" for a greedy corporation. The eventual rise of socialism will result in true television.

Season 2 IS happening.

It'll get one season, most people will forget it and it'll get trotted out in syndication on basic cable.
It isn't actually that remarkable on it's own, Sup Forums is just crowing about it because they want anything to beat STD.

Isn't there some rule or something that shows need 4 seasons for syndication? I keep reading this but I have no idea why.

orville is just different than whats airing right now. everything else is grim dark or sex sells the show.

No, plenty of one season shows go into syndication. They just don't get played as frequently because there's not as much material.
I could see Orville being one of those shows that gets trotted out for a marathon run on bank holiday weekends.

Yep. 80 episodes is the rule of thumb to get bought

This series is torn apart by trying to build a worthy star trek successor and appealing to the lowest common denominator. You can see the effort put into this series and MacFarlane and co.'s adoration for trek but they have to play it safe for the viewers Seth 's name attracts. Getting a slot shift onto Thursdays will probably kill this show, which sucks because when this show nails it, it shines bright.

That's a preference, not a rule.
If a show has less than that, it'll can still be bought. It'll just be bought by a shittier network. Like SyFy or Adult Swim.

>Getting a slot shift onto Thursdays will probably kill this show
Thursday night has always been the god-tier slot though

>Fringe
Actually, they told that show that they were going to cut the last 1 or two seasons, so they had to cram everything together in the last few seasons of that show. And it wouldn't surprise me if X Files lasted so long, because Fox didn't even realize it was still airing after the first season. All the execs were probably too coked up or something.

Better than Sunday, with nfl ratings in the state they are now? ??

Depends on what you're going up against. When Fox wanted to axe the first live action Tick, they put it up against Friends. Friends was dominating Thursday nights, there was no way any show would survive against it.
I don't watch enough network TV these days to know what Orville is up against though.
Late Friday night is kind of the universal broadcast death slot, though. Since everyone is either going to bed or going out.

I like both shows but Orville is more like classic Trek while STD isn't Trek at all

>shame
it's not funny
it doesn't have good action
it doesn't have compelling drama
it doesn't have novel and interesting sci-fi
it's an hour long where it would struggle to fill 30 minutes

I don't see the appeal. Seth McFarlane's humor is best in small doses and it doesn't translate well to "serious" situations, Family Guy and American Dad go to shit every time they try to get emotional or serious and his live action shit is no different.

It most likely will get a 2nd season unless it shows more weakness

this should have less CGI and be on Netflix or Amazon instead

Not with the currently numbers it's pulling. Four million is good for a studio sitcom, but it's just below average for a single camera genre concept.

What if I told you the show actually uses very little CGI, the Orville ship for example is all practical effects.

The numbers it gets once DVR, On Demand, Hulu, and Fox website viewership are accounted for have been excellent. TV ratings don't just mean live viewership anymore.

What are its total numbers?

6 billion terafloops.

I don't know shit about that show but Fox needs to give some shows a chance to fucking breath.
Some of the best well known series had rocky 1st seasons.

Son of Zorn started out medicore as shit but by the last few episodes managed to become somewhat solid, it would have been cool to see what they could have pulled off in S2

What is Futurama? It ran on fox for 4 or 5 seasons depending how you look at it, when Fox ordered those episodes and when those were broadcast.

For scifi Friday deathslot is even worse than what it is for most shows as target demographic is usually young men.

It floats up to 6 and 7 million pretty easy on average. Higher for the two Sunday episodes (10 to 12 million overall)

STD is just more political agenda pushing. It's not fun.

How much ad revenue does DVRs and streaming add?

The show sucks and so does its fans!

Zing!

Fuckin losers. I'mma lol so hard when it's cancelled and lick up all the shill tears on this forum.

>Be worker on Orville
>Walk onto bridge
>See Captain give you this look
>"Open my jar of pickles"
Well, what would you do?

kill yourself

It goes for too long. Needs to be cut down to 30 minutes.

>Trek is gone! ((((Diversity)))) is everywhere!

Why are their noses so creepy looking?

Shame, because it's better than STD (heh)

Its fox, and it's sci-fi. Be amazed if it makes it to the end of the first season.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the fact that Seth is the creator and star will help keep it on for at least one more season. I think Fox wants to keep up a good relationship with him and wouldn't want to take action to make him think that they're intentionally killing one of his shows. Look at how long The Cleaveland Show stayed on the air.

This, plus Seth knows how fox works, which is why he is using cheap sets for The Orville, he is stretching this out for the long-term. The spending for his show is a fraction compared to STD.

>Look at how long The Cleaveland Show stayed on the air
Yes, because it staying on air for a while has nothing to do with it being good and everything to do with Fox wanting to suck Seth's cock.
