A friend of mine regularly has "come to Jesus meetings" with her husband. (The fun part is they're Jewish.)
The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[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.
Monique - I can see where you are coming from, and I'm guilty of it myself as I got involved in a discussion about it today, and didn't mention the day of air isn't set yet.
I will say I hope they don't use Thursday in April. It's insanely crowded for a new show.
I really don't think it's going to be Thursday. Or Friday. That's an old press release.
John says it doesn't get delivered until March 27th. Premiere second week in April.
I need a nap.
Good stuff, Tim.
After 24 is the best suggestion I've seen.

I've seen the discussion in a few places, and just thought people were getting ahead of themselves with the worry. And I want nothin' but lovin' vibes about this, man.
The doomsayers and the Death Dealers gotta go somewhere else, because this is TV's hit Drive, and (provided my cable company returns Fox to me) I'm ready for five or six or 10 seasons' worth of fun from Tim, Kristen and the newly shorn Nathan ... should Tim not kill his character off tragically, of course.
Well, technically Tim's due a hit. Something gotta stick at some point. That's the logic I'm using. I'll be interested to see if members of the entertainment press start interviews with "Well, when will this get cancelled?" like fellow fans are, though.

My logic is that the show seems to have more elements of a mainstream hit and fewer off-putting quirky differences. Everyone likes cars, and conspiracies are way cool (although Vanished and Kidnapped didn't fare well...), and it's action-packed and whatnot. I just feel like it has the best chance of connecting with a larger audience out of all of Tim's shows.
Plus, it's already a hit!
The futon critic is projecting that TV's Hit Drive will premiere at 8pm on April 2nd as the lead in to 24. I don't have a clue where they get their info, but I don't recall ever hearing complaints about their accuracy.
It's the perfect spot IMHO.
