If anybody was watching the BCS National Championship game on FOX, they just aired a promo for TV's hit Drive. Pretty generic, though there was some footage from the scapped pilot (I assume); kinda reminded me of the early Firefly ads, but not quite as bad.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I saw that too. Wonder if it's online yet.
Drive promo!
I saw a preview for Drive during the BCS game tonight. It was pretty good and I didn't even know what it was until the end, when they flashed the name. I didn't see Nathan though, but they went through it pretty quickly. Fox is airing the same things pretty much back to back so you might catch it.
ETA: I'm surprised FOX are promoting something with 4 months to launch, without casting complete etc. Surprised, but impressed.
I think it might be an old promo. A few weeks back, I heard that they were running them during football. But I've yet to see one on TV myself.
4 months? They're launching it in May? I am a bigger skipper/skimmer than I thought.
April, probably -- by 4 months I meant including this month.
Oh. Metric system.

The good news - there's a press release on the wire right now saying Drive has been moved forward to March 1st, taking the lead with FOX's mid season schedule. The bad news - Tim's credits: Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
It looks like it's Thursday night at 9pm, after the American Idol results show (which will be about 30 million people). So, no pressure.
Disclaimer: it is possible the press release is bollocks.

Snickering is probably not appropriate at the moment. So I'll go with a closer-to-the-earth guffaw instead.

Well, with the BFtVS mistake, it's definitely bollocks.
It's possible it's not ENTIRELY bollocks.
With Fox, it's an even chance.
