Could not agree more. Frankly, it’s probably affected how much I enjoy The Orville, though I do enjoy it and think it’s his best work. His sensibilities are so narrow and he is allergic to anything approaching subtlety or drawing humor out of characters. Everything he does that’s intended to be funny is just a bludgeon of robotic zingers and a very specific subset of Gen X pop culture references.
I feel like he was sent by Disneycorp from the future to dumb down comedy. Yeah I feel you about the references, I’m GenX too and believe you me I love a good reference but if it’s like a mini gun of references blasting your face off it loses all value and coziness.
