FUCK OFF AND DIE FOX
Apr. 26th, 2007 12:40 amAccording to Whedonesque - Drive has been cancelled. After four episodes.
FOUR EPISODES.
I really should know better than to watch anything airing on Fox. For the past eleven years Fox has been crapping on my heart. Shows I love that they have axed -
Profit
Kindred: The Embraced
Dark Angel
Firefly
Tru Calling
John Doe
Fastlane
and now Drive.
And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
How in the everloving fuck do they expect to really be able to tell how well a show is going to do after airing four episodes over two weeks? It really is starting to feel like Fox is setting these shows up to fail. I mean, they aired Firefly OUT OF ORDER. Fastlane and John Doe were given the death timeslots on Friday night. That's really smart Fox, air the shows aimed at the 18-25 demographic on DATE NIGHT.
This is the brilliant network that passed on Buffy and cancelled Family Guy. When Prison Break got a second season I was amazed. The fact that House and Bones have survived this long is astounding. If it wasn't for those three shows, I would wash my hands of the network completely.
Fuck you Fox. Take some lessons from the CW and FX.
