Give a show a chance for godsake, what is this obsession of axing a show so quickly?
i was really getting into it as well, curse you fox, and infact curse those who think its fun to watch some moron eat his own weight in worms, but ignore anything with acctual value. I want shows that are funny and smart. SOmething that makes me laugh and think, to wonder.
Doesn't seem seem fair those that like these shows get kicked in the sprouts just because it was the most popular show out there, i am acctually sick of it.

Something about the idea of moving the serial format back onto the big screen really appeals to me. Anybody else like the idea?
Don't know about serials at the theatre but I'd love to see a subscription-based service where I can pick the shows that I want to see. Money goes back to the producers directly instead of the network, you don't have to worry about advertising (or at least not as much) or scheduling, support for the show is obvious, and your potential market is the world. Why the hell should I be limited to what my local stations choose to broadcast, or what the cable company chooses to package together, or even when they decide to show something? Season 3 of Doctor Who is airing right now, why shouldn't I be able to watch if now, especially if I'm willing to pay for it? Yeesh!

Hi...I am new here love all of Joss' works, but now on to Drive, and 24's low ratings. Drive probably had very little to do with that, more people were interested in watching another good show in Heroes. Which is on at the same time as 24.

those f*CKERS F*X there experiencing some of their worst ratings in their history even on their popular TV show so they cancel Drive and show bloody repeats of House.That's real clever make a TV show people start to like it then they cancel it & show repeats of some TV show which will probably get lower ratings than Drive.
It wasn't Drive's fault its F*X's for starting it in April & in F*X worst ratings drought
Oh and this is the first time I really really like something I'm watching & then they cancel it, since Firefly I only watched last year not when it actually fist showed.

I completely agree SergeantX and to that end I give you:

Certainly many of you have heard of this concept. Sanctuary is a web-based science fiction series that will star Amanda Tappan of Stargate SG1 fame. No networks, no execs, no Nielson boxes to pull the plug. I am thinking this would be a good fit for Firefly or even Drive.
Of course there is also direct to dvd movies to continue the story as Stargate SG1 and Babylon 5 are both doing.
As much as I would like to say that I did not see this coming, I just felt it. Drive was cool, I tuned in and watched and I liked it. I should have know the second I liked it Fox would pull the plug. Truth is the show was simply not pulling in viewers. Unfortunately Fox is a network that panders to reality shows and the like. They do not do character driven shows and that is what Tim creates. People who watch tv today are more interested in instant gratification, T&A or flashy tv with little substance. Unfortunately Drive was shaping up to be far more.
I feel for Tim, Nathan, and the rest of the cast. I wish them the best and hope they find work quickly.
