Fox Cancels Nathan Fillion’s DRIVE
TV Guide’s Ask Ausiello has bad news for fans of Fox’s “Drive” TV series — it’s been cancelled. Or at least, that’s what his sources tell him. “Multiple sources confirm that Fox has axed the Tim Minear creation after less than three weeks on the air. I’ll go out on a limb and say the show’s crappy ratings were to blame. House encores will take over its Monday/8 pm time slot. There is one piece of good news: I’m hearing the final two unaired Drive eps may get burned off on consecutive Fridays in May.” You know, I didn’t think it was all that bad of a show. Then again, I’ve only seen mostly the commercials, and I caught about 5 minutes of one episode last week, but — um, well, I guess nobody caught the episodes, either, if the ratings were low enough for Fox to toss it into the junk heap after only a few episodes.
“Drive’s” Kristin Lehman
I must be the only one who watches TV — or at least, TV that keeps getting canceled, because apparently I’m the only one who knows anything about Kristin Lehman, star of the upcoming FOX action-adventure series “Drive”, starring that guy from “Firefly”. It’s about a secret and very illegal cross-country race where the winner wins a prize purse of $32 whopping millions. Kristin Lehman plays Corinna Wiles on the show. Let’s hope the show doesn’t go the way of Kristin’s other shows — i.e. canceled way too soon. Fox is rolling out “Drive” with a 2-night, 3-hour premiere on April 15th and 16th.
