I'm know this is late, but I've been mostly without internet access since I heard the news. I'm so bummed. My sympathies to Tim and Kristen and the others directly involved with the show. I totally get your point, Corwood, and agree. And I'm not really outraged. But I really liked this tv show. I thought it was intelligently written, and well acted. It captured my interest and my emotions. And I wish it weren't gone.
I probably never would have watched this show if it weren't for Tim (and Kristen). The premise didn't make a lot of sense to me, and I saw the Cannonball Run comparison one too many times. However, I'll give just about anything Tim writes at least a try. It was ok after the first hour, good enough to keep watching. After the second, I liked it. Monday, I liked it a lot. And the following Monday, I loved the show, probably more than any other show since Firefly.
With the poor ratings, I saw the writing on the wall, but I am really, really bummed that they didn't at least make it through shooting so we would at least have a hope of DVDs. There doesn't seem to be much of a point now, without an arc. I mean, I would buy them, but I don't imagine enough would.
I find I have a bottomless well of outrage.
Ditto. It's the gift that keeps on giving (me high blood pressure).
Someone was saying something about 30-second skip, and if you think you don't have it on your TiVo, you totally do. (My major assigned domestic chore at Casa Jengod is reprogramming this into my husband's TiVo remote every time the power goes out.)

The funniest comment I've seen came from someone wanting to get all the Sanjaya voters from AI to go and sign one of the petitions.
Stop making fun of me, Denise.
I got banned from FOX's forums for saying Stand Off is canceled, so can't view the carnage that must be the Drive forums.
Somehow they haven't caught up to me yet. Though one poster did report me for being mean and negative. I was crushed.
It's ugly over there. Don't look.
Fanboy Confidential (best podcast name ever) has interviewed Tim. With your ears, go forth if you choose: [link]
This sucks.
And
as if to add insult to injury, I think this is a House I've already seen.
Bah!
jengod, you're so deserving of your board name.
You're special. The rest of us are jaded, bitter, and tapped out (of outrage). Well, except for the guy who has apparently decided that "un-canceling" the show is a workable goal.
Well, I'm too tapped out (of everything) to ever campaign for anything, ever again. But as God is my witness, I'll never be too tapped out to piss and moan.

Nicotine. On my monitor.
You know what's mean? The local affiliate still aired scheduling panels/frames/whatever from Comcast that listed Drive coming up at 8. Followed by the network's saying
Nope SUCKERS.
