Spy, you know I'll be

Spy, you know I'll be gushing with you. I'm hoping my streak of bad luck with mid-season shows ends with this one because I really need Nathan Fillion back on my TV every week.

I am a little bitter than Canada gets the show before we do, but then it means I can download the torrent and watch it when it doesn't conflict with any of my other shows. So, um...thanks, Canada! =D

I think that is is going to be good but kind of like the new reality show bullrun. I Like that they have a new episode Monday's too. At lest I think it is new i will have to check the Tivo.

I actually found the third

I actually found the third episode the strongest -- playing to all the actors' strengths. I think I'm going to have to start recording the clues to the mystery -- at least, what I think are clues.

Still have to watch the 3rd.

But I loved the first two. Some real potential with classic "Angel" type witty dialogue, although Fillion is clearly the most comfortable with the wit from his past experience. Like the moment in the restroom beating up the guy when he laments missing the orientation. We'll have to see how the "mystery" section of the show shapes up, but the action-y part is a lot of fun.

My only beef is with some real shoddy effects work. I know they tried to do some high-tech driving stuff, but a lot of it just looks real fake. That's rough for a show where so much of it is on the road. And then there was that countdown on the building at Kennedy Center...

Florida????

I just think that it is funny that there is a carpool lane and hills on the side of the road and they are in Florida. Everyone knows that there is no carpool lane on I95 and there are no maountains in the distance when you driving from Florida to Georgia. Other than that I guess it is ok as long as they start to give us more of the plot and story line.

Canceled

C List: 1215 Points Annie on Wed, 2007-04-25 16:42

Ausiello on TVGuide.com is reporting that it's been canceled, effective immediately. I'm sorry, guys. The show ended up not really grabbing me but as someone who's had bad luck with favorite new shows being canceled this season, I sympathize with y'all. :(

I didn't watch "Drive" but that was quick, you would think that FOX would have given it a little bit of a chance to find an audience...only 2 eps aired right? Bummer, it could always get picked up by another network...

Four eps aired

C List: 1215 Points Annie on Thu, 2007-04-26 16:51

I believe 4 episodes ended up airing - the two hour pilot, which were actually two separate episodes, then two more. I think there were supposed to be 2 more eps for the first run of the show and, as Michael said below, FOX may burn those off on Friday nights in May.

That's insane! Hopefully they'll air the rest of the episodes this summer.

Burning off the episodes

I heard that they are going to be "burning off" the new episodes on Friday's in May.

DVD?

There's also a chance that they'll put out the series as a collection in the summer.

Really, this should've been a summer series. Can't say it often enough.

Heads up! FOX will be airing the final two episodes on Friday, July 13, rather than July 4 as originally scheduled.
