I hope so, its the only sci fi show i record because i have to work. I really like it and the AVIS script was funny as eff.. then throw in HERTz was even better.. It will get its footing soon and hopefully we can get more in-debt drama with mix comedy out of it.
It may be my intel background, but I could not abide them going into enemy territory with absolute ignorance of anything about the enemy culture and not being discovered within the first five minutes. That just went beyond my ability to suspend disbelief.
I had to fast-forward through all that to get to the part where they had been discovered and were being pursued.

Sort of like going undercover on Romulan ship a year after finding out that they look like Vulcans
If The Last Man on Earth and Brooklyn Nine-Nine can make it until they have enough episodes for syndication, I think you can bet on the Orville making it that long.
Of course, what was the Tim Allen show that got whacked? Not by Fox, but.. Still, it had decent ratings and still got the Axe.
I would say as well that the Orville is probably a fairly expensive show to produce.. So.. It's got that against it.
They're up against Thursday Night Football which pulls right from their target age demo
Ratings.. Orville is the #3 show at 9pm behind Will & Grace and Scandal. It's actually improving audience from its lead-in of Gotham. Gotham has about 2.69 million viewers, while the Orville has 3.38
No. "In their neck of the woods" is not the same thing is "on their route." Leaving their route to rescue Pria is still the act that put them into danger.
Also, I wanted to add that since we really don't know anything about dark matter storms, the dark matter storm could have been in that area of space that the Orville encountered it for years, or for decades, or even for millennia. However, the way that people who have this 'diverted for Pria' theory make it sound as if either the Orville changed course because of rescuing Pria, and because of that, they went in a different direction that they otherwise wouldn't have gone in.... or perhaps... the dark matter storm suddenly appeared and if the Orville had not have rescused Pria and had arrived at that area of space, say around 20 minutes earlier, then they would have missed it.
P.S. And no wonder that episode was so good... Jonathan Frakes directed it.

Last Man Standing had 130 episodes. Any show that has that many episodes will bring in money for decades in syndication. The actors want a piece of that money, but there is a cash flow problem. The actors are mostly paid up front, but the money comes in long term.
Logically you would think that Modern Family and TBBT would be brought down by their salaries which together account for 11 of the top 20 earners in television according to Forbes.

But it would appear that the middle shows get cancelled more easily after they have enough episodes for syndication.
You will note that ABC has 9 of the stars in the top list while NBC has only one. But in general NBC has higher ratings than ABC.

The Orville has some pretty serious storylines. Despite it's campy exterior I would say that the story lines are more serious than those in Star Trek which deal with issues like racism in very veiled terms.
This episode had a very intriguing premise and comment on social media, but I thoroughly dislike "dummy plots" when there is a plot only because a lead character is a dummy.
Have they never heard of reconnaissance?
