I've said it before, Reunion was a train wreck. They had no clue how to write an ending for it, and it was never even written or filmed.

FOX execs are a bunch of ****heads just because I have invested in so many shows off their network that have been cancelled.

Firefly
Tru Calling
Reunion
Drive
Point Pleasant
The OC (this show ran its course after season 2)
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

I'll never forget when they cancelled Undeclared a few years back. That was one of my favorite shows on TV. Also can't forget about Arrested Development either.

Hold on, WTF? Drive was can canceled? That is ****ing bull**** man. That show was pretty good.

Ugh, that really irritates me.

Yeah that f'ing pissed me off. If they ever had the perfect show to ship to F/X, it was Reunion. IMO, that was the best concept for a show in the past 20 years, it did lack in execution and acting though.

Reunion wasn't perfect, but watchable.

I never watched Undeclared, but I heard good things.

Oh, I enjoyed it, just the writers knew it was doomed so they never finished it.

And I loved Undeclared, that show as hysterical.

didn't grounded for life get a season or two on the WB? I wish cable networks would pick up some "struggling" network shows because even if half the people that watched on the network watched on cable they would be elated with those ratings.

perhaps it is a cost thing.

Yeah it did, it did pretty good on there. I wish Doe made it that was a great show at least to me. It came out the same time Monk did, so I would watch both. I still love Monk that is my favorite show.

This show wasn't to shabby. Im suprised that Fox cancelled it so early.

I like the original cast better, if the show would have listen to my advice and not change the whole cast damn near it would have made it. Oh well that is the last time I am going to watch a TV pilot!

I like the other guy they had playing the guy who's wife was kidnap better. I think his name was Ivan Segi. Or something like that.

So now that the show is dead, how different was the pilot you saw? Actors, stuff, etc?

Re: Drive: Episode discussion thread

The final two episodes will air on Fox. Don't get too excited for those who liked it, they air on July 4th. God bless Tivo I guess for fans of the show.

From TVSeriesFinale.com

FOX pulled the Tim Minear action series Drive off the air after only two weeks and four episodes due to low ratings. The network had given the series a truckload of promotion but, for whatever reason, the series didn't catch on -- at least as quickly as FOX would have liked. Would the series ever return?
FOX has announced that Drive will be returning to primetime. Unfortunately it will be a one-time event. The network will run the unaired fifth and sixth episodes of Drive on July 4th -- one of the least-watched nights of regular television. They're also calling them the "final episodes" which means the show has indeed been cancelled and viewers have no chance of ever seeing the race's conclusion.

True fans might want to visit the Tim Minear website where they can read the scripts of the first four episodes of Drive. But beware of spoilers -- due to some editing changes, some scenes in the episodes three and four scripts were shifted to appear in later episodes. Maybe we'll get lucky and the site will post scripts for unfilmed episodes sometime in the future. Stay tuned!
