Drive - Totalled

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-15-2007, 09:53 PM

Yes this new show on Fox called Drive is airing tonight.

Anyone will watch it?

Nightwatcher · 04-15-2007, 10:10 PM

I watched it as I am a fan of Nathan Fillion.

I liked it. It didn't take itself too seriously and the storylines seem pretty interesting. I don't care much for the Iraqi soldier and his g/f's story nor the 3 girls story (although the blonde joining with the lady that just had a baby is somewhat interesting).

I'm mostly interested in the "main" story of Fillion's character and the girl with him and the story of the guy with the terminal disease and his daughter.

As of right now I'll keep watching.

me too.. Nathan was awesome in firefly. It seems the character of Nathan is the main character of the story. I want to see who wins. It's probably going to be him.

Good story with a good opener, I'd say. It's got plenty of mystery and lots of stuff you can figure out yourself. Okay, the Cape Canaveral-thing was very obvious once you've realized that JFK was killed way earlier, but it still makes for awesome drama.

ya but having shows on fox is a questionable thing to mean because sometimes they cancel shows you know..

I think the show has a chance. Nathan Fillion who played in Firefly I hope gets to act more than just 14 episodes.

*Anarky* · 04-17-2007, 04:10 PM

Every other channel cancels shows as well, you know. So Fox is as good a place as any, as long as they don't plan on completely revamping their channel and going in a new direction where old shows don't have a spot anymore. Also, I'm off to watch Episode 3 now. wheee...

Edit: After the third episode: This show just keeps getting better and better. Of course, you needed to have the character with the "mysterious past" (TM), but the way they handled it was awesome. And I love how there's these little secrets in every driver's life.

And I just love Alex' new car. I have a soft spot for muscle cars anyways, but... Wow, what a beauty.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-18-2007, 10:46 AM

I agree with the mysterious character part.

I like shows like that because it keeps me thinking.. This show has started well but crosses my fingers hoping for the show to be like this the whole season.

the quest for 32 million has begun.

oh well anarky.. looks like the show has ran out of gas!

*ZariusTwo* · 04-26-2007, 12:12 AM

When is Minear going to learn? FOX's audience don't "get" his shows, so long as he remains there, his shows are going to keep getting cancelled.

*Revan* · 04-26-2007, 12:19 AM

I never even gave it a chance. Were the 4 episodes that did air any good?

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-26-2007, 01:34 AM

yes the show was good. Not as good as firefly..

*Spitfire* · 04-26-2007, 01:37 AM

If Greg The Bunny can stay on the air long enough for a season set to come out then this show can do it. I don't see why this guy doesn't got for direct to DVD stuff or Sci Fi channel cause obviously it isn't working out.

They show a preview for this show before the TMNT trailer at my work.

*Anarky* · 04-26-2007, 06:09 AM

Damn. That's very annoying. If I was anyone involved in this project, it would have been the last time I did anything for Fox. Well, maybe another network picks it up... highly unlikely though.

Tabularasa · 04-26-2007, 10:17 AM

If it was in the fall schedule it probably would have survived. Very few shows that are replacments make it (I think the last one that made it was Grey's Anatomy which was a replacment)

Serial shows on Fox do survie and do well but they have to get a fan base right from the start like 24 and Prison break

Yeah, like Day Break during the LOST hiatus this winter. Day Break was a pretty good show but no one gave it a chance...people were mad LOST was on such a long break and basically refused to watch. Similar thing with Drive...it was a probably a good show(I didnt watch it). The networks need to give shows more of a chance, they pull the plug too quickly. I mean, what will Fox show in it's place? ABC showed re-rums of crap like George Lopez in Day Breaks place. They might as well have kept showing Day Break because George Lopez couldn't have gotten them significantly better ratings. It irks me when I get into a new show and it gets canned.

look at shows like arrested development too.. omg such a great show..

it got cancelled too.
