Drive Crashes
 

Hey look, Fox killed another show!

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...eut/index.html

I probably shouldn't even bother watching the ones I recorded. :(

There's a shocker. I bet Tim Minear can't wait to be done with Fox.

It's at a point where you shouldn't bother watching new TV shows anymore.

Damn, that was quick. Thankfully I didn't watch, I would hate to be left hanging like that.

:lol: Nice title.

I remember wanting to watch the show back during January when I first saw promos. They let this thing cook for way too long so I really had no interest when it actually premiered. I really didn't understand Fox's marketing for this show.

Ugh. I knew this was going to happen. Oh well. At least I didn't watch Monday's episode in full. :(

That article is a little bogus. Technically FOUR episodes have aired - 2 on 4/15, 1 on 4/16 and 1 on 4/23.

FOX should have just aired this in full over the summer. Being the only new programming on network TV, it probably would have gotten much better numbers than competing with :yack:Dancing with the Stars.

I had all the Black Donnelly episodes on my DVR and got news of its cancellation just as I was about to start watching it. When Drive premiered, I decided I'd wait a few weeks to see what happens before I started watching..Glad I did.

dammit! i really liked this show. It finally gave me something to watch on mondays. With any luck they'll throw throw together a boxset. Of course, knowing fox, they'll charge $40 for the damn thing.

nooo!!. that sucks I really enjoyed this show.

Poor Nathan Fillion. If I were him, I'd be done with anything attached to FOX.

They could at least finish airing what they made. :( Do they really get better ratings with House reruns?

Fox will get more than the 4.6 million sets of eyeballs with a rerun of House (usually in the 7-9 million range).

:toast: to myself for knowing better than to invest in another show.

At least 5m, upwards of 9m. So yeah, much better ratings w/ House reruns.

Heck, so few people watched this that CNN couldn't even get the header right...Fox ran three episodes: the 2-hour Sunday pilot, one on Monday the 16th, and one this past Monday.

I actually was enjoying this show...figures - everything I seem to pick to watch from the beginning gets the axe.

24's low ratings are a result of its own in-house demise. But if it makes them feel better, we can blame it on Drive. :)

Mind if I drink with you? I skipped this show as well :)

i rarely watch new tv

and i saw mondays episode, which was great.........what happens to the brother?

I figured this would happen.

Maybe it's because 24 sucks this year? That is funny that Fox is blaming lower 24 ratings on Drive.

I haven't watched the most recent episode of Drive yet, and although I thought it started out cool, I was already starting to lose interest. I found most of the characters/subplots boring, I really only was interested in Nathan Fillion's character and the new mom. Everyone else was pretty blah.

Being outside of FOX didn't help much either. Two Guys and a Girl [and a Pizza Place], on ABC didn't last very long once Fillion joined either.

Maybe he should hook up with Andy Richter for a show. Cast Stacy Keach as the grumpy dad and they may have something.

Ha! Thank you so much. Everytime I see this guy I can't figure out where I knew him from in the 90's. I was beginning to think I went to college with him or something....

One has to wonder at the wisdom of FOX execs, pitting the 2 hour premiere against ABC's Sunday lineup and the season premiere of The Sopranos instead of it's regular night against virtually no competition. Oh well, at least they managed to air the episodes in order.

Glad I missed mondays show

This show was so annoying, I kinda hate myself for sitting through it.

Painkiller Jane is a much better show :) Go SciFi!

He was the only reason I had any interest in the show. I thought the promos looked terrible and even if it stuck around, I wasn't sure how they could make it a series. I recorded the pilot and watched about 15 minutes of it before I stopped it and deleted it. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good.

I wanted to watch Drive, but held off since I figured FOX would promptly cancel it, and they didn't let me down. Screw 'em. I've almost stopped watching FOX altogether now. If it wasn't for their Sunday night line-up (The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad), they would've lost me completely. There's nothing else on their network I watch anymore.

I'm certainly more wary about getting into new shows now, because of the cancellations, than I was just a few years ago.

I figured a show that the promote to death would die. Glad I skipped it.

Boo!

Of course this IS a double-edged sword. If people "hold off" on watching it, it is pretty much going to get cancelled. How does 24 get away with blaming this show for low ratings? The ratings weren't too hot when it held the Prison Break lead-in either. :hscratch: The ratings suck because the season sucks. If you care nothing about Audrey, then the season pretty much ended for you two episodes ago...

Already? Damn.

Fox has managed to be come my primary "never-sample" network. Why bother.

Vanished and Drive, I guess kidnapped wives are never to be found on FOX.

Christ I always had a feeling it would be canceled but after 4 episodes?! Whatever happened to shuffling a show around to different days of the week, then oddball time slots, THEN cancelling it?

Not surprised by this at all...

Jesus, that was quick. A dvd set would be nice, but i doubt the story will have any sort of ending.

Kinda sucks! Like a few others I had this set up on DVR and had yet to get around to watching them. In fact I was also going to hold onto them for when my brother visited in June because he is a Fillion fan.

Maybe they'll air the other episodes online?

First of all, whose bright idea was it at Fox to air the season premier on the same night as Sopranos.
I was really enjoying this show, the writing and thecharacters were great. I wish there was something we could do to get this show back on the air. I heard that they were going to air the final two episodes.
What was in the safety deposit box?? What happened to the brother who was shot??? I want answers!!!!!!!!

Only two of which were on its regularly scheduled night... hell, I got a few co-workers watching the show. They watched all three old episodes on the internet, then tuned in for the new one this week... and now it's cancelled.

i was actually a tad bit upset that i didntbother DVR'n the 1st episode. i thought, "its fox, i will be off in 6 weeks". guess i gave them too much credit. i did semi enjoy the CGI intro to the show. now does this open the door for Rose to return to "2 1/2 men"?

Agreed, with both. I mean really, 2 weeks and its cancelled. Some shows take a little while to get going. You would think Nathan would know better after Firefly.

I am going to stop watching TV. I mean what is the point. Half the shows I start are cancelled within a couple weeks. Smith, Kiddnapped (yeah - it probably deserved it), Drive and a couple others since fall. Oh well.

Wow--I have it on my TiVo, we were going to watch all the episodes this weekend. I really enjoyed the premiere. Ah well. I'll just delete it now. Save the time.

Actually they ran 4. The pilot was 2 separate episodes.
