The TV Addict 

And yet again FOX should be renamed to f*cks (us), cancelling another wonderful series from Tim Minear. All those bastard suits should have been fired many many years ago.

And the list continues. Wonderfalls, Firefly, The Inside… Guess they’re fair and balanced when they cancel all of these and put up shit like The Swan

Gaaahhhh!!! WTF!!??? What is wrong w/these people!???

Linda B., they told us who the murderer was on Reunion? Who was it?

If I were Tim I’d just stop pitching my shows to FOX.

Noooooo! FOX you SOB how can you do this…again!!

Please someone, anyone else pick up the show!!
sorry had to let that out

Honestly though, is anyone really surprised?

Dont get me wrong, i loved Drive- the concept was new and clever for a television show. But it premired on Fox, if it isnt a medical/cop show it wont last on that network.

Im still baffled by the fact that all of these great creative shows keep pitching to Fox.

I agree with the Tv addict about peoples reluctance to tune into new shows with long drawn storylines because of the chances of cancelation.

Fox is the network equivialnt of an abusive lover. Everytime you think it might be different, have something good for a change- it slaps you right in the face.

If it werent for IDOL Fox would have no audience.

I totally called it. I told you that it wouldn’t get beyond the 4-6 episode mark.

Come on, seriously- it’s a Tim Minear show. On FUX.

Did *anyone* think they’d give it a chance to build an audience?

Folks, Fox built it’s audience by trash TV. So what does it expect when it tries to put a show on that requires people to pay attention, and challenges people to think? To make things worse, they are not just hurting the creativity of various writers, but of the whole genre since people will not tune in to them anymore. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me again. But you ain’t gonna fool a fool again.

I am just going to stick with shows on HBO / Showcase. Let’s see what they get to replace the Soprano’s!

It’s like Alien Nation, Brimstone, John Doe, Kindred: The Embraced, and of course, Firefly, all over again, but I think this is the worst example yet (Drive only lasted four episodes before getting the shaft). Sometimes Fox really sucks.

I just started watching Drive too. I was really starting to think it was a show I could love. How upsetting

it’s just dissapointing….
how will FOX ever be able to build an audience for a serial when the viewers know that it is not just possible but likeable that the Show they could fall for will be cancelled within two weeks… that’s just so stupid, shame on you FOX!!!

Fox sucks. Drive was a great show. And yes, it lacked ratings, but they couldn’t even finish airing the episodes that were filmed? Or give it a chance to build an audience?

I was hesitant when deciding whether I’d watch this, and I guess I should’ve chosen not to. After what happened with Reunion and now Drive, I will never watch another new show on Fox. If one becoems a hit and it looks good, then I may catch up and tune in. But that’s it.

My source at Fox is telling me the final two unaired episodes of “Drive” will air this summer…. date tbd.. better than nothing

I’d totally condemn Fox but they do have Prison Break, and while I’ve never watched House it doesn’t seem like trash TV. And they’re certainly not the only network to yank a show after only two weeks. The CW did it with Runaway, and whoever had Head Cases only let it air one episode.

Something I learned today made me understand (but NOT condone) the reasoning better. To get advertisers, Fox has to guarantee certain ratings. If they don’t get them, they have to give the advertisers free air time on other shows to make up the difference. Or something like that. So I can see that the prospect of spending more money than they already have would cause them to cancel instead.

I think the whole system needs revamping.

Kristen – the writers of Reunion released a statement saying the murderer was going to end up being Amy, the daughter given up at the beginning of the show. I don’t remember if they gave a reason why she killed her real mom or not.

Very disapointed. I looked forward to Mondays just to see Drive. What a great show. Unusual, not like all the other reality shows. This was very refreshing. I would fire whoever chose to kill Drive.
