At best this is a poor imitation of TNG, at worst it's an insult to TNG.


I'm not sure it's either of those. Just a vanity project for someone with a weird sense of humor who grew up a Star Trek fan. As you say, it's a measure of Seth's clout with Fox.

I agree. I don't think it's an insult. From what I understand, McFarland is a big fan of ST.

Now, whether it is an imitation, an homage, a light spoof or what is kind of a matter of semantics.

I've heard the comments about it not being a "comedy" but it was clearly meant to be humorous to some degree. So, I'll judge it in that vein.
