sorry but just a small bit of nitpickery here...
buffy was developed and produced by fox studios, but never aired on fox television. the WB bought the show and aired seasons 1-5, then the WB pulled the plug,Joss & Co scrambled and got picked up by UPN(the other half of what is now the CW) for seasons 6&7. Angel, also produced by FOX( though shot on the paramount lot)ran it's entire 5 year run on WB. Firefly was the first and only Mutant Enemy show produced by FOX studios and aired by FOX Television.
thus endeth my non-drive rant of nitpickery

I'm literally in shock. I swear, if Tim or Nathan EVER trusts Fox again, I will frickin' fly my ass down there, and knock on their front doors, and smack them upside the head for being positively STUPID. I will NEVER trust Fox, EVER AGAIN. If a new show comes on that I like, I'll watch it, but I'm going to assume right off the bat that they're going to cancel it as soon as possible.
Fox just blows my mind, just leaves me cold - I DO NOT watch reality TV. I don't boycott FOX, but I DO boycott ALL reality TV. NO survivor, no american idol, no pussycat dolls, no next top model or designer or chef or ANYTHING. It seems like all I can do, since my hubby insists on watching The Simpsons, and even though the show (NOT Hugh Laurie) is losing some of it's spark, I do still watch House.

so he will be doing something on that network for the next 3 years----
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Well, of course they have. Quality show like that, can't have one of those on the air.

Having worked in the theatre/music business for a number of years in my youth as a tech, I will say, when a job comes up, a person takes it. If it can be fit into the schedule. Granted they(tim & nathan) don't *need* the money like you & I do but a person doesn't want the rep of turning down jobs for no good reason.
So yeah, take the money & run, is my guess. As to the issue of trust, I'd say you hit the nail on the head.

Just out of curiosity, how do the ratings and viewership for Drive stack up to Firefly when it was on the air. Anybody know off the top of their head?

It is the networks' fault if they don't give it a chance. Time was a show at least got a season before it was cancelled, maybe a half. Four episodes? Give me a break. If they had that attitude back when The X-files started, it would have been cancelled within the first season. Plus, they've all fallen into this wierd strategy of starting series at strange times. Drive began nearly at the end of the regular season when most series are winding up. I'm sure it's a ploy to pull in viewers over the summer but I believe Drive debuted during a lot of college spring breaks when college kids were off on vacation and then through finals weeks when they were all studying and thinking about graduation. People don't break that kind of routine for a show unless they're already invested in it. You know, I'm willing to bet most Fox executives are on their third or fourth marriage because, daggone it, the others weren't going like gang busters within the first month.
Well, as a rule I say girl folk ain't to be trusted.
