Well, CRAP.

Drive's been cancelled.

I guess people would rather watch TRASH like "The Wedding Crashers" or "The Littlest Groom" than something with interesting characters, an engaging plot, and pretty cars. *growls*

They've only filmed six episodes. We may, the word from On High says, get the last two eps sometime in May, on consecutive Fridays. What I want is a boxed set of "Drive" and "The Inside," together. Am I going to get it? Eh, probably not. I swear, Fox has the crappiest track record in the world when it comes to Tim's shows. "Wonderfalls" was cancelled after three episodes, IIRC. *snuggles my box set of that show leik whoa*

In other news, the Hubby set his pants on fire doing some welding repair work on his race car. He came in and told me that his ankle felt warm, he looked down, and AUGH! Fortunately, it didn't burn through his pants, let alone his sock, so he's all right. *shakes head*

On the weight-losing front, I've actually been succeeding in doing it. We bought a new scale (finally), and it measures in even tenths of a pound. Apparently I'm doing something right, because I've been losing a steady four-tenths of a pound a day for the last week and a half or so. I was 132.8 this morning, which I haven't seen since before Thanksgiving, and I've dropped all the weight I gained in Moab plus a smidge.

And I just got an email from Writers of the Future telling me that they got my entry for the second quarter. *crosses fingers*

What???? I really liked the Inside, and one day it wasn't on anymore. I've gotten into Drive, and now they're canceling it? What the hell??? Why do they cancel the good shows???? *grrr*

Because apparently the rest of America has crappy taste. *fumes*

I truly do not understand how a network as UNCHOOSY as Fox can cancel a show after 4 episodes. And I don't throw the word unchoosy in there as a slam to 'Drive'; I was giving it a fair shake and I found it worth tuning in for (for the Amy Acker Illusion!Wife alone).

I have no comment on your husband's pants. Men are stupid sometimes :)

I just loved how Nathan seemed to be channeling Mal. And Amy was his wife! Eeee! And now we're not going to find anything out. *cries*

Flying sparks + frayed jeans = bad combination.

Thanks! :)

I am so pissed off at FOX right now. If it weren't for 24 and House, I'd boycott the damn network. Firefly, Wonderfalls, The Inside and now Drive. Why does Tim keep pitching his stuff to the st0opid people at Fox?

I think Tim had a three-show deal at Fox. Hopefully, now that they've unceremoniously cancelled all three, he can go to a network that's willing to take a chance on an unorthodox show.

The combination of Tim Minear + FOX + lack of time + Nathan Fillion kept me away, even though the first and the last parts were pulling me in. I just knew it was too risky.

Yeah. I tried not to get too attached to it, but it sucked me in anyway. *sigh*

Sigh. wtf. I've had it on my dvr and am just now getting a chance to watch. I like it a good bit more than I thought I would.

And now poof. Freaking Fox. After only 4 eps. For a show that seems so pretty and had so much effort into it, that's freaking quick. I guess I can't be surprised that FOX wouldn't give it much of a chance. But here's to hopefully getting the rest of the eps.

As soon as I saw the numbers for the first episode I knew it was doomed! Stupid FOX people. They wouldn't know a good show if it bit them you know where. This is why I usually wait to watch a show after its first season. I just can't take the heartbreak.

i started doing this too. i just can't waste time on shows that are going to fizzle out. also shows never really come into their own until midway through the second season which is why it is stupid to cancel something after 4 episodes unless it was just a ghastly mistake
