No More Drive

Whaaaaat!? This is ridiculous! We really loved the show! And those of you who've commented on it here really seemed to like it as well. Do you know anyone who didn't like it?? Hm...this sucks. I feel bad for the main guy - name escapes me right now - the guy from Firefly. He's probably feeling like the kiss of death!

Short 'Drive': Show yanked after two episodes

Story Highlights

• Fox's "Drive" pulled after two episodes
• Show had high-profile debut, big publicity push
• Ratings dismal; show may have even hurt "24," which airs after

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- It's been a short "Drive" for Fox's midseason drama, which has been pulled off the schedule after two weeks on the air.

For the time being, the serialized drama chronicling an underground cross-country race will be replaced by "House" repeats in the Monday 8 p.m. slot.

"Drive" received a strong promotional push on Fox's juggernaut "American Idol" and was launched with a two-night premiere, a strategy regularly used for the network's hit serialized drama "24."

But "Drive" never clicked with viewers, and its two low-rated airings on Monday seemed to hurt its leadout, "24," which posted its lowest adults 18-49 rating for an original episode in more than three years.

It is not clear when and on what platform the remaining nine episodes of "Drive" will air. Streaming the episodes on Fox.com or offering them as downloads through iTunes are among the possibilities under consideration.
