Especially low-rated shows that are driving (hehe) down ratings for their high rated shows.

I don't know what they were thinking there. Shouldn't the new show come after the high rated show and hope the audience stick around to check it out?

But how can they justify canceling a new show before giving it a chance to thrive.

And if it was driving (hehe) down ratings for the other show, they could have just moved it to a different night, they didn't even try that!!

And I don't see how Drive was pulling down the ratings for that other show, if you like that show you're not gonna stop watching it because of something that comes on before it.

It's all just one big conspiracy to prove that F*X HATES US!!!!

Well, for one, it's really hard (and unlikely) for new viewers to get into a serialized show like Drive. Jumping in several episodes in without the backstory makes the show hard to understand.

And the reason it brough 24's ratings down are because people turned the channel durring Drive, and basically forgot to turn back for 24. It's why networks are so big on lead-in numbers, and the viewers retained.

Joss and Tim really need to find a different outlet for their brand of storytelling. Broadcast television (at least as it currently exists) really isn't well suited to what they have to offer. It's not really well suited to anything worth a shit, but that's another discussion.

I knew you'd come around eventually. Except it doesn't exactly make me happy.
