The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[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.
I was looking for a new episode of Drive, last night. I got spoiled with the three hours so close together.
It was so disappointing! I have to wait until next Monday. Sigh.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it will be on next Monday.
I was trying not to go there. I think my toes would even be crossed, if they were long enough to do that. I really like this one.
USA Today's ratings page lists - for the week of Monday, April 9 to Sunday, April 15 - Drive as the number 5 show among boys 12 to 17. Is that demographic important at all?
Not entirely, but that has levels of humour I suspect.
I've been keeping an eye on the schedule and at the minute it's still listed for Monday. Personally, I think they will keep it for now as they've got to be nervous of a viewer backlash over Yet Another Cancelled Serial Show. But if the ratings fall, it'll get replaced with House, as then they blame people for not watching each week.
I don't think Fox is at all fazed by their reputation for being quick to cancel quality entertainment, since they keep doing it again and again. Hopefully internal support of the show will remain strong and keep it airing until it can build its audience a bit.
Yeah, but it's different this season as basically every new FOX show failed, bar "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" (which launched with American Idol...). Virtually all the serial drama shows on other networks failed, too. FOX risk pissing off their viewers and damaging future shows -- they must be smart enough to know that.
Drive's fate is sealed. It's dead on arrival. Personally I think they will air the remaining episodes (except maybe the finale) so they don't look like they immediately cancel things.
I don'think Fox is at much risk of pissing off many of their viewers. I mean, if not many are watching Drive, who cares?
