Has anybody been watching Seth MacFarlane's new StarTrek-like TV show?

So far I'm liking it - what do you all think?

It is definitely odd at times but overall I like it also.

I think that's because we're all used to seeing comedy moments with a laugh track. Even a show like MASH, which featured both comedy and drama, still used a laugh track as most comedies do, to help us all know when to laugh. But Seth MacFarlane's other comedy shows like Family Guy, American Dad, etc don't use a laugh track to provide such cues.

Occasionally the show dips into Seth mcfarlanes very cheesy stupid humor which is kind of bad in this type of show but most of the time it's pretty good.

Yes, but

Yes, but in a way the humor interspersed throughout the show helps to keep the mood relatively light, without becoming overly dark or dreary or wooden. There may be individual moments that look dark, but the overall mood of the show doesn't get oppressively dark, so that you hate watching it. The mix and variety help to make the show more enjoyable.
