[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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Maybe the racers are actually driving around Southern California and the Hanso FoundationSecret Cabal have just changed all the signs to make them think they're elsewhere?

Which is why the racers have pit stops, to give the crews time to go and change all the signs again....

What is even happening?

Right, and there are probably a lot of magnets involved, but if you just open up a new socket on someone else's top-secret clearance password, it's just a matter of a few keystrokes.

Finally watched the Drive premiere and the episode that aired last night. I pronounce it "Timtastic"!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Ratings:

Fox drama Drive debuted in the time period with a mere (and fourth-place) 3.7/ 6, which was a decline of 35 percent from former occupant Prison Break on the year-ago Monday (5.7/ 9 on April 17, 2006).

Same as Sunday. Still not good enough at all, but I reckon the 6 will air.

Damn it, in this age of reality TV ( The Amazing Race ) and serial drama ( 24 ) and weird mysterious setups ( Lost ), you'd think this would have "Viewers Tune In Here!" written all over it.

hip deep in pie

Megan, was the sound craxy for last night's ep for you? The sound on Fox, and only Fox was so bad that I gave up trying to watch last night, figuring I'd see it on Friday.

You have no idea how much I agree, Theo. And I don't think we can really blame FOX, either, as that's the most amount of promo I've seen in a good while. I think car racing just didn't stick as a selling point, ultimately.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ABC Dances to Victory; Fox’s “Drive” Stalled at the Gate

Household Rating/Share
ABC: 9.8/15

NBC: 5.7/ 9
Fox: 5.5/ 8

Fox drama Drive debuted in the time period with a mere (and fourth-place) 3.7/ 6, which was a decline of 35 percent from former occupant Prison Break on the year-ago Monday (5.7/ 9 on April 17, 2006). One week earlier, a repeat of Fox’s House scored a considerably heftier 5.6/ 9 in the overnights.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do feel like the ads I saw were more duhnduhnDUHN! than WOO HOO!, and the show is really a lot of both.

If that makes any sense at all.

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 they'll show next week's episode, or if it'll be a House repeat.
