Remember Drive? No? Well, I can’t really blame you as Fox nicely decided to took it off the air after only four episodes! Which was, not surprisingly, a very stupid idea, as the show was pretty good, different from others, and despite not being always interesting (too much boring talk while driving around) it still always delivered a good hour of entertainment.
But the show got canceled after only six episodes were made, of which only four had made it to the air. Thus leaving Fox with 2 episodes, that obviously will not give any answers or some kind of resolution to the main plot, but would still be enjoyed by all fans/viewers of the show, for the few - and every day fewer - who still try to watch new shows before they ended their first season, and got renewed.
And it was planned to air them on July 4th, at first. Then of course Fox decided to postponed everything, moving them to July 13th. Well, looks like they changed their mind again, and took Drive off, again.
Only this time, no word of when, or if, they’ll come back.
This reminds me of ABC’s mess with DayBreak, when they pretended of some obscure song-related problems not do put the remaining episode of the show on their website.

Shows: Daybreak, Drive
By fred | December 21, 2006
In the past years we’ve had many new TV shows that hit our screens, and some pretty damn good shows! This season didn’t break the rule, bunch of new shows have appeared, some already very popular, some already off the air (!), some quite good, and some crap too.
Today I want to talk about (what I believe is) the best new show of this season: Daybreak.
Yes. Daybreak. You heard – or read, whatever – right. Yes the show that has already been put off the air by ABC monkeys people (my apologies to monkeys, even they wouldn’t be that stupid!) because they don’t know how to make smart schedule, and keep their promises. And are retarded.
Every time you hear about Daybreak, you’ll get some Groundhog Day reference. It’s a must. And it makes sense, in a way, since both have the same basis : a guy is living the same day over & over again.
But when people hear this premise, they immediately start to wonder how the show could not be boring, since even a 13 episodes-long season is way longer than a 2 hours movie. And how could watching the same day every episode not get boring.
Those could be legit questions. I guess. But honestly, if the creators/writers of the show hadn’t thought about all this when coming up with this idea for a show, they would be pretty stupid. And they, are not ABC execs. Also one could think that no one would have giving them a go for a show that would obviously be boring even in the making, or when reading script. Even at ABC.

Shows: Daybreak
By fred | December 19, 2006
So it is now official, ABC decided to put their new show Daybreak off the air. Proving once again, as if they needed to do so, that people working there are just a bunch of morons.
Was that harsh? I can’t really tell. I’m not sure. I mean, after all, they are.
Ok, maybe it was. A little. But guess what, that’s not worst behaviour what how they treat their audience, that is us, you & me, when they make such decisions.
Cause this really has to be one of the most stupid decision ever, and also why people who watch TV hate them more & more, and watch TV less & less, at least the traditional way.
Let’s rewind a little. Wednesdays, 9pm. Sitting in front of the TV. On ABC. That’s when all Lost fans, addicts & all the others were watching they favourite show. But after only six episodes – and by the way this is so not a way to go. Why couldn’t they just go the smart way, 24-style, wait ’till January and then just air the whole season, all episodes, in a row. But airing just a few episodes, too little to develop a real story, before taking a break of months, that is just stupid. Read the review of “ABC morons need a break!” »
