Jackal spotted this in Variety:
"Following "Prison Break's" finale in February, action drama "Drive" takes over in Monday's opening hour. Skein, about a cross-country road race, is slotted well here opposite female fare on the other nets and looks to be the net's best shot at a scripted entry from this season to carry over to next fall."
Clearly they forgot to mention the show's best selling point is green screen, though.
Have people never filmed scenes in cars before now?
Sure, usually when they're being towed on a trailer. Easy to do at slower speeds, but I imagine since this is a race it would be very hard to tow at the speeds required to have the scenery zipping by in real time.
I never got into
Prison Break.
Is that typically the hour before 24? I mean, I think it must be, but my head can scarce handle it.
Yes, it is, Cindy. Or, for me, the hour before
Heroes.
I may never forgive him for changing the end of Great Expectations, but then again, that experience seems awfully similar to the way writers now often have to bend to pressure from their higher-ups.
At least most editions of GE include both endings. TV writers usually don't have the luxury of getting their original unfettered-by-higher-ups-interference script filmed. Although when they do (and here's another parallel) it ends up as an extra on the DVD.
Yes, it is, Cindy. Or, for me, the hour before Heroes.
