House didn't build the really strong audience until it aired after American Idol. Gee, Fox, could you have aired an ep of "Drive" after AI? Maybe given the show a good chance?

What I don't understand is this: I get why Firefly, Wonderfalls, the Inside didn't instantly become mega-hits. They were good, but I can see how they were a little much in one way or another for the average viewer. Everyone would love Drive! It's the kind of thing people like!

I'm with Jesse. While I'm used to my tastes only occasionally gibing with the mainstream public's and am generally glad if I get a whole season of something I like, Drive seemed to me to be the sort of show that both I and more than a few millions of other folks could get into. Sort of like Lost, except it wouldn't start sucking halfway through the first season.

One of these days, Tim, that network is gonna get wise and somewhere someone is going to be kicking themselves with their choice of the many, many volunteered boots. You know, from the I-told-you-so'ers and the trust-us's and the me.

Sad news, sorry to hear it. And you've still got me whenever you're going to be back with the whatever it'll be.

And Kristen? Even though 106 didn't air, the Kristenverse still lives.

If Tim's channeling Deborah Kerr, I don't want to know who Kristen's channeling.

Ray Milland.

Kidding! (Mostly.)

Thanks for the kind words. Though the events of the past week have been disappointing, I still had the coolest first job ever. I was on a great, fun show with talented people. I have a writing credit now. Words I wrote were spoken by actual actors and put on film and beamed into people's homes. And, most importantly, I got to work with Tim, which was more wonderful and valuable than you could imagine.

As for what was going to happen next, I think everyone would've died. Unless they were evil. Or pretty. Hmmm...that didn't clear much up, did it?

Kristen, Tim, cast and crew--such a quick hook. The cancellation was sad news, but you put on a show you could be proud of.

Drive was a seminal show cancelled by the idiot network. I was going to picket Fox but I didn't have any comfortable shoes.

You fought the Good Fight, Tim. Fight a bad fight for once: who knows, you might win.

I'd buy the entire series on iTunes if the remaining 'sodes were to find their way there. Just saying.

Much love.

I am at a loss for words.

Maybe Tim should make a spin-off where Alex Tully solves a bizarre landscaping problem every week, and each time, he almost kills the grass with pesticide, but in the last ten minutes, he figures out what type of Miracle-Gro will work.

Alex Tully needs to be renamed to a Variety style pun, though. Something to do with Ryan Seacreast.

Kevin, the icon made me smile a little. But it was one of those smiles that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

And also, also? I think the phrase drive-by (Drive bye?) is ruined for me now.

As Julie goes, so goes my nation.
