Ouch, Polter-Cow. I'd love to know if Drive is sponsored by car makers. I actually suspect it's not, so the point is null and void. I've seen one review that claims Drive encourages global warming, so Tim's clearly out to kill his viewers, not his characters, this time.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

[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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
This may have been asked and answered already. Will I be able to go the Fox's website and watch entire episodes of Drive online after they air on TV the same way I can watch Heroes at NBC's site or Grey's at ABC's?
People keep asking this question in other forums and I can't figure out Fox's website enough to find an answer.

Tamara, yes. I checked with FOX's staff on Friday -- it should be up on FOX's VOD site on Monday. Standard disclaimer applies: it's possible they told me fibs.
ETA: it will only play on Windows XP (or Vista), apparently. And only in the US.

My link seems to work better for me. Maybe it is a US/UK thing.

Drive's on the front page of Yahoo today. There's also ads on FSN, and a long promo no the TV guide channel. I know the download thing is a touchy subject, but it's got 10 times the amount of downloads The Inside ever got -- and this isn't even on the air yet. Would be really surprised now if this isn't, in fact, TV's hit Drive.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Honestly I wouldn't care if it was. It'd just be very effective product placement.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Every time I've ever noticed the brand of a car on TV, it's been a Ford, so I suspect they are very active in product placement deals. "Sponsored" is probably too strong a word for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the cars were donations in exchange for screen time -- most featured onscreen cars (TV and movies) are. Cars are expensive.
