Drive (TV series on Fox)

All I know is we're not getting Family Guy tonight, but Drive instead. That's Strike 1 in my book.

 

I watched it tonight... so far it's a solid show and I will continue to watch. Love the fact that the regular time slot is just before 24.

 

I watched it, and thought it was promising. Some of the plot holes, though, disturb me.

 

Just out of curiousity ... such as (what plot holes)? Not saying there aren't any, but it is a show about a top-secret cross-country race in which some people are forced into.

My least favorite line: "It's a marathon, not a sprint." Only because I've heard countless coaches say the exact same damn thing thousands of times.

 

I gotta say, I've been burned by one too many Fox shows that I invest time in, only to see them disappear. This just felt like another one that we won't hear from in 6-8 episodes. Maybe I should give the pilot a chance, but does anyone know when it will be reairing?

 

Well, the next episode airs tonight, so I'd doubt they'll rerun the pilot but you never know. Looks like Fox.com doesn't show videos of its shows. Didn't check dailymotion.com, but might land there.

 

I hope this is truly a one-season type of show. i hate when shows are dragged out, like "Lost" and "Prison Break."

 

Early in the race, you would have a car pulling up next to another, and it's like they both knew each other was in the race, and it was time to start going apeshit. There would seem to be enough people in the race that they all don't know each other.

 

Overnight ratings weren't so hot for this show, unfortunately.

 

According to this article (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07106/776455-352.stm), the racers won't get to the finish line in this season's 13 episode run ... but will in the next 13 (if it gets renewed, obviously).

 

The preview clips focusing on the dizzy woman were probably a promotional misstep, positioning the show as David E. Kelley-quirky. And that wouldn't be promising concept for a cross-country race.
