In my official capacity as Lurkerer of the Drive Offices, we spent a bit of yesterday hunting down the reviews in newsstands and supermarkets and mostly they're all positive. Variety was problematical, but mostly all the other big publications really like the show.

Also, the opening credits: really good.

Original music or a selected song (or ominous noise a la LOST)? If that can't/shouldn't be posted here, that's cool.

My track of the Drive reviews is about 75% positive, which is a lot better than The Inside. I didn't see Firefly stuff back then, but I'd imagine it's doin' better than that, too. The common complaints are the longetivity of the series, and the premise. Only two of the reviews I've seen actually mention the writing, but both are complimentary, and there's almost no belittling of acting performance. Fillion, Dylan Baker, Charles Martin Smith and Emma Stone got praise in multiple reviews.

It's written especially for the show and is un-Lost-like. Probably can't say anything more, so I won't, but, yeah, 'twas good.

jengod -- You're correct; the guy you're talking about isn't Richard. But that's not who I was talking about.

Theme song is Gavin Rossdale.

Hmm.

So I had a dream about TV's Hit DRIVE last night. I figure the actual thing has got to be a lot better (and more coherent). Details are just a hazy blur at this point (much like the scenery from a fast-moving car).

I suspect it was the RESTLESS version of DRIVE.

It gets better. I remember it gets better.

Hi Tim! Best of luck with the big premiere!

Bush!

I'm so glad that I remembered to program my TiVo for TV's hit Drive last night.
