so i'm happy to announce that drive was cancelled. i'm only writing this blog because they wouldn't let me post what i thought under the article. i got pretty heated when i saw how many people were bashing FOX execs for pulling the show because they thought it was good.

personally, i thought the show sucked. the storyline was crap and the acting was just horrible. the only good part about it was the cars but i could watch bullrun and see some hot cars too. the girls were decent but not exceptional enough for me to keep watching it. once again, i can bring up bullrun to compare the girls because those bullrun girls are HOT. and they don't talk either so i don't need to hear them say stupid things like the girls on Drive.

anyways. back to my rant. if you're going to blast FOX execs on pulling a crap show because you actually like it, there may be a reason for it. Is it because the ratings sucked? oh wait. it was cuz the ratings sucked. so basically, FOX was doing everyone else a favor except for the idiots who actually liked the show which apparently wasn't a lot. and i'm pretty sure the FOX execs know a little bit more that those idiots because last time i checked, if a show a crappy ratings, it probably won't pull in a lot of money for them. little money = no money for FOX. so why would they want to keep that show running then?

maybe they're hoping for the show to pull a Cheers or The Office type thing. but honestly, those shows come by once in a blue moon. and the similarities between Cheers and The Office is that they were both comedies that didn't get good ratings the first year but turned out to be blueprints for every other show. I personally don't see Drive doing that. 

anyways. that's my rant. just had to let one loose. let me know if you agree or disagree with my assessment. and if i did call you an idiot in this rant... well.... you deserve it for supporting such a crappy show.

I agree with your review that you couldn't post. I didn't like this show either and am glad that it got cancelled.

I don't know...I thought the show was OK with a lot of storyline that could be made better. Pretty much...it had potential, so I thought they should have given it more time.

I enjoyed the program and I'm looking forward to watching the additional episodes as they're posted on the Drive website

I think Fox was trying to do an ABC with "Lost". Using a reality show type blueprint for a scripted show. I never really watch Drive and its one I won't lose any sleep over.

I agree but at the same time disagree with your comments, I do agree that if a major broadcaster is showing a TV series that’s not pulling in the ratings and is not making money for them then naturally pull the show and no matter how much a small minority of fans of a show scream shout and sign petitions however I enjoyed Drive and don’t mind admitting it so if that make’s me an idiot then so be it.
