    Been done better by The Orville. The Galaxy Quest joke will not translate to a series well.

    Yeah, but I'll certainly give it a chance.

    Because I loved Redshirts.

      I haven't seen Redshirts. Where is it streaming? Youtube maybe?

        It's a book by John Scalzi.

        https://www.amazon.com/Redshirts-Novel-Three-John-Scalzi/dp/1491514388

        Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. It’s a prestige posting, and Andrew is even more thrilled to be assigned to the ship’s xenobiology laboratory, with the chance to serve on “Away Missions” alongside the starship’s famous senior officers. Life couldn’t be better . . . until Andrew begins to realize that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces, (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations, and (3) sadly, at least one low-ranked crew member is invariably killed. Unsurprisingly, the savvier members belowdecks avoid Away Missions at all costs. Then Andrew stumbles on information that completely transforms his and his colleagues’ understanding of what the starship Intrepid really is . . . and offers them a crazy, high-risk chance to save their own lives.

                      It's so well done. Parody with respect is a fine line to walk and they do it well.

                        @Mik I'm watching the premier.

                        It's gone way beyond parody. It stand on its own, and it does so very well. The only thing it has in common with the show it "parodies" is the costuming, the music, and the "gestalt."

                        It's grown into its own and I'm delighted.

                        It's still light-hearted, but appropriately serious.

                        And...it has Norm MacDonald's voice.
