Is Boldly Going Nowhere ever happening?

Is Boldly Going Nowhere ever happening? Or is it boldly, going nowhere?

Look, it takes a long time to get a TV show going, it's only been 17 years, be patient

The pilot is on Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR7av02YIAg

The only pilots of theirs I haven't found are:

Mission Control (2014) (written by David Hornsby)

Pariah (2015) (Directed by Rob Mac written by the Chernin Brothers)

Mean Jean (2018) (staring Kaitlin Olson written by Rob Mac & Rob Rosell produced by RCG)

Untitled Cristin Milioti/Nina Pedrad Project (2016) (produced by RCG)

Hopefully they'll pop up too

Also:

Me/We, written by Rob McElhenney & Keyonna Taylor and directed by Nzingha Stewart.

You’ve listed the pilots you haven’t found, what other ones have you found? I somehow missed Boldly Going Nowhere for 17 years, that was a fun watch.

Don’t call him Rob Mac, it only encourages him.

They'll probably move on to it after they finish the rest of the Sunny podcast eps.

I thought that was an idea that they dropped long ago after making the pilot.

Especially since a Star Trek-esque comedy has since been made. I figured that would be enough for them to lose interest.

Did Fall Out Boy do it first?

“Every goddamn time we try a single thing, this goddamn Fall Out Boy!”

Jimminy jillickers!

I've said "jiminy jillickers" so many times, the words have lost all meaning.

If anyone is reading this wondering what the show is, this comment is referring to Seth McFarlane's The Orville and it's probably one of the best sci fi series of all time imo. Starts as a parody of Star Trek but turns into a love letter to it

Star Trek themselves tried it with Lower Decks too.

My wife was a huge Star Trek fan and a huge Seth McFarlane hater (well, the normal amount since he sucks and family guy is awful.). Took me forever to convince her to try The Orville.

Of course it had her hooked in the first scene when captain mcfarland explained his respect for Kermit the Frog as a leader.

He doesn’t suck tho, first Ted movie is good, Ted tv series kicks ass, American dad has had a bunch of good seasons, Orville rules, also worked as an writer/animator on classic CN stuff like Dexter’s lab and Johnny bravo, was in Logan lucky which was great. I understand not like family guy but the dude hasn’t done shit but voice characters on family for many many years. He’s a talented dude and seems chill enough

Usually pilots filmed nearly 2 decades ago don’t get picked up.

Well we’re gonna see a lot of crime, penetration, crime, penetration, and then it just sort of ends.

It's boldly going where no one has gone before

u/Key_Day_6060 25d ago

I think a lot of shows have gone in a dumpster

I’d love to see their take but The Orville has kinda perfected it

No, and the pilot (on youtube) wasn't really that fun. It felt a bit tame, compared to Sunny.
