Drive Cancelled Already

We were planing on covering Drive on next week’s Boxcutters. Unfortunately there is this news from TV Guide:

Multiple sources confirm that Fox has axed the Tim Minear creation after less than three weeks on the air. I’ll go out on a limb and say the show’s crappy ratings were to blame.

I’m a big fan of Tim Minear‘s work, especially on Angel, Firefly and Wonderfalls. He seems to have no problem getting shows off the ground but keeping them on the air is another story entirely.
That being said, Drive was fraught with problems in both story-telling and casting. It’s not a huge surprise.

  1. Another one bites the dust 🙁 Pitty I was just starting to get into Drive.

  2. I hadn’t caught any episodes as yet but what’s the odds that it’s gonna be big on DVD like Firefly. Obviously, the turd that axed that one didn’t get his arse fired and is still around Fox doing damage.

    It was quite interesting looking around the forums trying to get some news on the Drive axing and seeing how much discontent about Fox programming there was… almost as much as 9’s treatment of Sopranos or Six Feet Under or …

    Apparently Drive is going to have the remaining eps screened in US summer.
