Short Drive: Show yanked after two episodes – CNN.com
It’s been a short “Drive” for Fox’s midseason drama, which has been pulled off the schedule after two weeks on the air.
Two-weeks. After all the god-damn advertisement, the build-up, it took two-weeks to kill off the show. I can’t say I’m surprised, the show looked as much fun to watch as watching moss grow on a rock. Let me just point out why I brought this up: I don’t have a hatred for Fox, sure their the epitome of white-trash television with an abundant of shitty dramas and even shittier reality shows (Cops), but they have had and do have a few decent shows in their portfolio (Family Guy). But I hate Fox when it comes to sports, they are just plain awful. I’m not a fan of the god-damn commentators and plain and simple not a fan of the broadcast. Especially baseball, I can’t cite how many times they’ve come back from commercial to miss the first or even the second pitch of the inning. It’s an absolute embarrassment. The most notable was about 4 years ago when Manny hit a homerun during the ALCS at the top of an inning. Fox comes back from a commercial to show Manny chugging around the bases, it was awful. Why do I bring that up? Because for the past few weeks every time you attempted to watch baseball on Fox you would be absolutely bombarded with those advertisements for Drive. Not just during the commercial breaks, but also while the game was being played. And not to sound like even more of a jackass, but that show looked absolutely awful. I mean the person who gave the green light for the project had to have been on some sort of drug binge, starting from when the script was read till post production on episode one. So do I feel bad the show was cancelled? No, I praise it because Fox keeps making dumb mistakes. What other dumb mistakes have they made? Cancelling such fantastic shows as “Arrested Development” and “Undeclared”. I’m just sad they’ll replace Drive with some other asinine show to advertise during sporting events, maybe “Are you smarter then a dog?”
