Or you could 'acquire' it in the morning - Canada got it 2 days before the US :)

I'm 'acquiring' it right now..... :lol:

Me too ;)

Typical, episode 2 has finished before episode 1 :tear:

Well, we got through half an hour of it and gave up - not sure just what that has to say about it. :)

Shame really, as there's precious little on TV Friday nights, and had it been better we'd have had something to watch...

:lol:

usatoday preview of drive

We thought it was alright. Nothing special but certainly worth watching if there's not much on. Doesn't look like it'll be the kind of show where you can miss too many episodes though. Probably also helps if you're a fan of The Amazing Race, seeing as it's practically a dramatisation of that show.

Not bad, but hopefully it will get a bit better though.

Tim Minear - "Drive" Tv Series - Tvguide.com interview

I swear they're really trying to confuse us - looks like Episode 3 is on Fox tomorrow in the Prison Break slot. Odd - the only advert I saw for it promoted the Sunday broadcast, but didn't mention the next episode being on the following day....

Doesn't bode well for the ratings.....

More telling of the nework's feelings towards the show is the fact that it is starting now instead of at the beginning of a season. Expectations must not be high.

I kinda liked it, and not just because it means I get to watch Nathan Fillion every week :lol:

Seems like it could be interesting to see all these peoples stories, and just what the penalty for coming last will be each leg.

I wonder if they will bring new characters in from some of the other cars?

From a MediaWatch article:

In series-premiere news, the two-hour launch of Fox drama DRIVE was stuck in second gear, with a mere (and fourth-place) 3.8/ 6 from 8-10 p.m. Despite the massive promotional hype, DRIVE only built from week-ago repeats ... by 9 percent... Here is the half-hour breakdown for the disappointing Drive:

8:00 p.m. 4.0/ 6
8:30 p.m. 3.9/ 6
9:00 p.m. 3.6/ 5
9:30 p.m. 3.7/ 5

I should think being against (ironically) The Amazing Race and Desperate Housewives wouldn't help the figures at all...

:ermm: quite an ok first episode, but they need to tell us more about the characters

:ponder: about the penality at the end of the course, is there a specific reason or they are just playing with the loser?

Given the mediocre numbers for the premiere episodes it'll be interesting to see what episode three got, given that they moved it to a different night. Will anyone have noticed? Probably not. This one might be quite shortlived afterall.

The curse of Nathan Fillion strikes again! :lol:

They'll probably add Ben Browder and Claudia Black to the cast for an extra double whammy :lol:

At least they didn't start with the perennial jonah, Chris Gorham in the cast; Odyssey 5, Medical Investigation, Jake 2.0 etc etc All one-season wonders! He stole the title from Daniel Dae Kim, now that Lost has survived for a few seasons. :lol:

A Whedonist discusses Drive (yay!), Fox TV executives (boo!), and the various exciting ways that Joss kills off characters we love (sigh!). (minor spoilers)

:rolleyes:

A crying shame that he can't kill off a few FOX TV Executives, exciting or otherwise! :lol:

mmmh Ben Browder :wub:

I've seen the first two, I'm not sure what to make of it yet :ermm:

I'm a big fan, obviously, but the guy's the kiss of death for a series (apart from his guest slot on CSI...) :lol:

Sorry, I'm in full Farscape mode atm. There's just not enough Ben in the world :lol: :lol:

That should never require an apology :D

^^ Possibly not the best time to say that I've still not finished Season 4 or the mini-series then...... :unsure: :lol:

Probably not, no :rolleyes: :lol:

Oh. Erm, well, in that case, I have seen it, it's fantastic! I'm glad I saw it. Just don't ask me what happened..... :shifty:

After how long James :o :lol: :lol:

Well, I think I saw 4x01 & 4x02 about 12 months ago. Actually, it was at least 12 months ago, got a feeling it could be even longer than that! :unsure:

If it was during the "rewatch" that was two years ago now :lol:

:shifty:

tvsquad Reviews Drive.

:ermm:

Saw the third episode last night. Looks a bit more promising :)

second episode was a little better but maybe too much "history" for each character (are they going to mention more past race?) :unsure: about the way they deal with the penalty from last episode :ponder:

I thought it was handled rather well :snooty: But then again I love Melanie Linskey ;)

Is drive on tv in uk yet? :stoopid:

it just started in the US (no info if any UK channels bought the rights yet)

"Drive" Tv Series - 1x03 "Let the Games Begin" - Tvsquad.com review

1.3

one revelation after another, after another, after another ..... :rolleyes: bringing more mystery and questions. still the episode was fun. but it's kinda "trust no one" as each characters met are not what they seem. each character seem to have a major secret but we slowly start to see it bit by bit.

so more actions, more rescue, more driving.

another great episode

Don't get your hopes up...

Drive already Cancelled
