[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 able to watch the first chunk of the fifth ep this morning, but then it just got stuck on the damnable Comcast phone ad six times in a row. I hope it works when I try again later!

Peter Ligouri on why the final episodes of DRIVE didn't air:
“It will always be a complicated issue with serialized shows [..] I do hope, given the amount of broadband there is out there, that actually airing those two [episodes] online will be satisfying for the loyalists of the show. I think in general, if we’re going to dive into serialized shows, I think what is important for the industry is somehow you bring some closure to those shows. It may not always be on broadcast with a lot of marketing, but again, when these shows wind up having a narrow group of loyalists, we try to satisfy them."
He could be a politician with a non-answer like that.

What's so wrong about committing to one entire season? OK if the show does really awful in the ratings, pull it and put in something more profitable but you can realease the one and only season on DVD, make the hard-core fans happy and not look like an a-hole.

I don't think FOX get a take in DVD sales. Unless I'm wrong.
I just think it's weird (although expected) he neither answers the question, and then uses a question about a prematurely cancelled show with no resolution at all to talk about keeping the viewer happy with resolution. Although though maybe it means he learned a lesson with Drive.

I watched the last two eps at my gf's house (cuz I have dial-up). We both really enjoyed them, especially "Rearview."

My understanding is that Fox doesn't, 20th Century Fox does.
I think I'm probably watching the two eps tonight.

Yeah. FOX funded the actual show production, so there's no sense in them funding a full series and then 20th doing a DVD. Of course, it's all part of the same mothership, but financially not so much.
My personal, completely uneducated opinion is that networks should make a pilot of a show, then if they're unsure put it on air and see if people actually watch it. If so, put it into production. There's probably a great many reasons why that isn't practical, of course.
