Discovery Trailer
Call me a critic, then, because I loved the first episode of Discovery. And, I couldn't take more than 15 minutes of Orville.

It boils down to:
Klingons look different! Yuck!
Vs
Fart jokes! Yay!

Honestly, what I saw in the half-hour my DVR taped was good enough to make me watch the show if it were broadcast on CBS. I didn't like the appearance of the Klingons, but they still seemed right overall.
So you could count me as "a fan, but..."

Who doesn't like a good fart joke?
Fartacus?

I note there's a new episode and all the thread wants to discuss is The Orville...

Well close, but not quite, at least where I'm concerned. It's Klingons are different for no reason, look like they're wearing rubber masks and Regency chandeliers, and can't act through the make-up. No attempt was made to make the ships look period, when we were promised "Original Trek." The esthetic of the sets is decidedly Kelvin-verse, which I hated. Universe continuity has been broken in innumerable ways.
vs.
A ST:TNG esthetic with Trek-style stories, coupled with a humorous dialogue.
I caught a few minutes of the fourth episode of Discovery, but couldn't watch it all at the time. I've PVRed it and will watch it tonight but, given the slice of it I saw, that will likely be the last time.

I believe to be not above any form of "low-brow" humor, but I can't help but feeling that there joke timing isn't all that bad.
They just often don't really fit well into the story. Farscape (or maybe a more watched show, Stargate) did have a lot of humor, too, but it integrated better.
I think that's something they really need to work on.
