We weren't watching "Drive" here because, well, in the midst of moving and all that -- our TV isn't even hooked up. And we haven't watched any TV to speak of in 3 1/2 years. (We've seen "Firefly" only on DVD.) And I don't know whether I would've liked it or not. So... I guess it's my fault.
Part of me is saying "Fox is run by idiots!" Part of me is saying "Well, yeah... a serialized show like that, if ratings are in the toilet four episodes in, they probably won't pick up much." Of course, maybe Fox could've scheduled it better.
It's sad, yeah. But I have a feeling DVDs and the Internet are the future for genre television. No idiot (or realistic) networks, no scheduling problems, no need to pander to the Nielsen families or the advertisers. Cross your fingers for the success of the B5 and SG1 DVDs and "Sanctuary", because they're blazing the trail I think we need to follow.

I don't get it- They pushed this show so hard. Whey couldn't they just change days or something????!

Probably one of the shortest 8-day/4-episode shows I've ever watched and had the carpet yanked out from under me on. Eight Days!!! How can they actually expect to build up any sort of audience in that short of a time?

Er... because they are a bunch of clueless hacks that wouldn't know a good franchise opportunity if it was having sex with their left eardrum?
Just a guess...

Hey RevDeadCorpse - what's that animation in your siggy?
And agreed - 4 episodes, all right... but it was in the span of 8 days. You gotta give them more time than that. And I realize that a lot hinges on the premier, but in a world of reruns and Tivo, how likely is it that most people who will watch it are going to watch it at that exact hour?

Seriously. I have no words. I feel like crap for Nathan and Tim (and Amy).
Anybody on Facebook, come and join my group of hate-mongering towards FOX for what they have done to so many good shows:
