Tonight, while watching The Shield, I saw a promo for Tim Minear's Drive. Two commercials later, I saw a promo telling me to catch "an all new season of Drive, only on Fuel TV." Not the same show. This can't be good.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fillion and probably some other stars were doing their Fox duty and sitting in the American Idol audience this week. If there's any concern that Drive commercials aren't reaching an audience, they get Super Bowl viewers several times a week on AI.

Where was he? I didn't catch him. But, to be bitchy, I find most of this year's AI contestants to be better fodder for the ears than the eyes. So I often work on something else while it's on.
ETA:
Never mind! Found 'em! Kristin and Kevin were there too.

Serial posting for those who, like me, spaced out during American Idol -- if you missed the Drive cast appearance, no worries. I got you covered.
Also, if all those faces have you confused, the official Web site now has character bios! I'm told ita should check out Leigh's bio, especially that last sentence.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What they should do for a promo is pay for one of those crazy high speed race driving school thingers where we can race the cast members. Hee.Grand Prix of Long Beach is this weekend with it's annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. And it occurs to me that I have no idea who will be driving this weekend but it'll be a shame if no one from TV's hit Drive is there to rally (and chicane) for the cause.
eta: [link] Guess not.

Yeah, the other Drive confused my TiVO until the Real Drive showed up.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The first promo I found online for Drive was, in fact, the Fuel TV series Drive. I was like "Tim made this? Was he on crack?".
Drive premieres at Universal City tonight in LA. Anybody goin'? Whitefont abound!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The policy is that it's a spoiler if it hasn't aired in the US, correct?

Hmm, there was discussion about this in Bureaucracy the other day (over the Candian airing of the first two episodes on Friday), and the opinion then was it should be white fonted in here. I don't know if that should apply to the screening, though (but if nobody here is going, it's not a problem).
