I think I need to send Tim and Kristen some oxygen.
Anya: Are you stupid or something? Giles: Allow me to answer that question with a firing.

[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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I reread it and decided it better not be the actual press release. Because it's full of damnation with faint praise, and of course, wrong information.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It's a bastardisation of the news. Sorry about referring to it as the press release - the news site had copied and pasted it, so I presumed it was straight from the studio. It looks like C21 have tinkered with it, and sent it out for syndication as news.
American Idol's result show is 8-9pm that day, and averaged just over 30 mil last year.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
So, is this false?
I'm presuming not.
Assuming it's accurate, is this a good slot?
My verdict: yes. It shows network confidence. It's also against CSI and Gregs, which are the two biggest dramas on TV right now. Drive can't afford a massive drop from 30 million viewers, so it's going to either make or break the show I think. It's ballsey.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Thursday at 9pm? Gulp? Am I wrong in thinking that is considered the most competitive slot in TV?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Tamara: you are correct. CSI and Greys are huge. However, a 30 odd million lead in is good. I don't know if there's an example of it working before for FOX, though.

I think it worked for House two years ago.

Previous examples also include Stacked and That 70s Show at that timeslot on March 1st.
It's the old The OC timeslot. So Drive killed The OC. Okay, it didn't actually, but in my head Tim killed The OC, and now the world is a more just place.

We'll be seeing her often as we deliver oxygen to her office at 3am.
But hey! Her boss is a close personal friend of mine. I think i can probably get her a day off. If she wants one. I think she loves her job more than us, now.
