And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wouldn't worry too much, since it wasn't in its regular timeslot -- it's the ratings tonight that will matter.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes. This.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I wonder if I can bang into work sick due to Nielsen ratings.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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.

What is even happening?

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!"

Art Crawl!!!

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.

The reality is there hasn't been a successful racing drama series for a long time. So that might be the problem. Much like Fillion's last movie thing, Slither, tanked -- great film, but horror comedy, which tank.
