Seth MacFarlane is a clever man, I admire his witty sarcastic humour. The show itself is is a great show of humourous combacks, but full of serious situations to combat with, and then to deal with relationships on the ship. It's about the futuristic charm, with the modern day feel we can enjoy. It's the more comedy like side of the star trek series that this era understands.
The characters are instantly easy to associate with, and get attached to. I hope to see many more seasons of this show
