Damned, Evil Fox Network
Fox has killed Drive,--a flawed, but interesting, new show that I was enjoying. For fans of Firefly, the most interesting part of this has to be that this is the second time that Nathon Fillion has been on the wrong end of an early Fox cancelation.
Despite its decent reviews, Drive did not perform well in its highly competitive Monday night niche. After airing four episodes, FOX decided to cancel its road-racing themed series.
Admittedly, Drive wasn’t in the same league as the brilliant Firefly, but I wanted to see where it was going (and the darling girlfriend wanted Mal to win the race).
I am wildly disappointed.
Comments & Trackbacks
Nathan Fillion apparently angered some dark spirit of television and film production.
Too bad, we were enjoying the show as well. Guess we’ll have to struggle along with the Sopranos, the Riches, Heroes, Jericho, Reno 911, Battlestar Galactica…
Which is precisely why I won’t be inviting him to audition for my upcoming mega-super-blockbuster, Zomby Groupies from the Planet of the Future. Which is going to be really big. Really really big.
Yeah, for that one you need Bruce Campbell.
Amen, brother, amen.
