'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
The other networks were empty. Drama -- they had Desperate Housewives. That was it.
Don't want to be negative, but... Uhm. It's done worse than Firefly did on a Friday night.
Let's see how it does tonight (but it's against the dancing bloody monkey show).
The advanced downloaders must have been the higher tech Firefly fans. That's the only way I can account for the interest.
I wouldn't worry too much, since it wasn't in its regular timeslot -- it's the ratings tonight that will matter.

Yes. This.
I wonder if I can bang into work sick due to Nielsen ratings.
Yes, but now because of the schedule people have missed the first two episodes. Would I tune into a drama two episodes in? Usually not.
I hope I'm wrong, by the way.
Jessica, no, it's bad.
Not at a new job. You have to go in and be preoccupied on their dime.
Ugh. Serial drama burnout or were there so many promos that people got sick of them and took a pass (the critic for the Boston Globe had a comment to that effect)? If the latter, it would be a painful irony.
Oh well, x-ed fingers for tonight then (and that lots and LOTS of peopled DVRd last night or something; maybe they'll watch in real time tonight if they liked it).

Everyone I told to watch had this response - "oh, not that show!"
Personally, I think that the obvious audience for this show are TAR fans. And lots of those folks were watching TAR and maybe taping or dvring Drive to watch later.
