I’ve been watching the first few episodes of Drive and they are pretty good. So, I check out Wikipedia to see where this thing is going, and I find out that Fox cancelled it after four episodes. Four episodes. The first episode had 6 million viewers, which is decent I guess. Lost debuted with 18.6 million viewers, but it had such a unique premise. Also, it was probably the best thing on ABC in ages, and there was nothing else competing in its time slot.

But, let’s consider FOX shows. 24, for example, had an average of 8.6 million viewers for its first season. So, why the hell does Drive get the shaft? It is a reasonably interesting show, and it has similar pacing to 24.

Meh…I don’t know what the hell Fox is doing. They seem to have shitty plans for programming. “Hey, let’s put a quasi-interesting, untested show next to one of the hottest game shows on television.” Yeah. They put it in the same time slot as Deal or No Deal. Brilliant. You don’t put something against Deal or No Deal (the new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, in a way) unless it is life-changing.
