Epitaph for "Drive"

[spatch]

"Drive" was a show broadcast on the FOX Network.
It starred Nathan Fillion and was produced by Tim Minear.
Previously, Nathan Fillion was on a FOX show that the network ignored into oblivion.
And Tim Minear had produced a show for FOX that was cancelled four episodes into its run.

So when the two got together for a FOX show of their own, the network behaved exactly as you'd expect: It ignored the show, then cancelled it four episodes into its run.

I am reasonably sure there are high-level broadcast executives who never even knew this show existed.

Despite Tim Minear & Nathan Fillion, everything I saw about this show suggested that it was, well, stupid. I'll admit that I didn't actually see the damn thing, but the premise in and of itself was ridiculous. I don't think this is one I'll mourn.

But it's like The Cannonball Run... but... with... SUVs.

Ok I got nothin.



Still, I think history repeating itself is pretty funny.

And without Daisy Duke.

Nor were there any high-larious outtakes during the closing credits!

Of course it was stupid and rediculous. Most of TV is! Still, it was better than about half the shows out there that were allowed to live.
