First they cancelled Space: Above and Beyond. Then they cancelled Firefly. Now apparently they have also cancelled Drive.
What the hell? Honestly, Fox needs to send their execs back to B-School or just fire their sorry asses and get new ones! I was in class last night, but I had set the VCR (yeah, I know, antiquated technology). No Drive! After a couple of weeks of absence from the airwaves on Monday nights, I decided to investigate. CANCELLED! WTF? Cancelled due to low ratings and the final 2 episodes will be aired on July 4th.
Excellent plan! I wonder who thought of that one. Maybe a gifted Fox Exec... So, they are basing their ratings on an antiquated way of statistical data gathering - the Nielsen ratings - that do no take into account people viewing their shows online, through both legal and illegal means, and they can the show. Secondly, there have only been four shows aired, the statistical sample is way too small! FURTHERMORE, they decide to air the series finale two months after the most recently aired episode. Who thought this would be a good idea? Instead of giving more people the opportunity to see the show on it's normal time, people that are used to watching Fox during that time slot due to Prison Break, for a completely random date in the summer. Are they planning on tying it in with Independence Day somehow? Dimwits!
