Wow! I always wondered what it felt like to be a loser!
-
To be a loser, Aramel. Anyway, leave it to Fox to take a cool show idea and order 12 episodes, then show 4 out of order and then cancel it.
-
is so much better than all of us, because it uses words like skein and lensed and doesn't write in full sentences. all take a lesson. magazine make us better. people.
-
but seriously, wtf is the amazing race? I know what survivor is because of all the hype that surrounded it, but can anyone explain that analogy in more detail? I understand it's a Lost rip off, but what isn't these days?
-
they shouldn't have cancelled The Inside. That show was awesome.
-
It's an old joke, but still...
-
I like this Tim Minear. He was one of the more talented people involved in the dour soap opera that Angel became. He was going down with the ship, but it seemed like he was the only one with a little tin cup, bailing the water over the side. Also, I liked what he did on the Firefly television series. I hope this new one works out better for him.

This is probably the most accessible of Minear's shows.

It'd be nice if it didn't get cancelled outright.
-
because if so, i'm there. Alan Ruck is the man.
-
WOW what an AMAZING episode! 6 rapid fire "HOLY SHIT" moments and a quality cliffhanger ending! Bring on season 3!!!!
-
Fox cancelled that little gem after 4 aired episodes. It was pretty brilliant work. I bought the 13 episode DVD set and have shown or loaned it to quite a few family and friends. Every single person really liked it and said "when was this on?" I don't have any confidence in Fox doing much, if anything, right with this new series.
-
That should be the name of a new Tim Minear show.
-
a bit matrixy with all the car swerving and camera moving in and out of people's windows, but its tim fucking minear, so it will of course be brilliant and then abruptly cancelled.
-
it should be "Drive : Amazing Race :: Lost : Survivor"

*see if that works*
It says they'll play all the episodes on 'innertube' in mid November. -
then you need to manage quotes better than he does. He actually said: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!"
Maybe Tim's figured out how to mix his stuff w/ the ingredients needed to attract a FOX audience; otherwise.. four eps? :-o -
He makes great shows that get cancelled before their time. Still, they're always fun while they last.
-
Minear is really one of the must underappreciated talents on television. I do hope this one lasts. On the other hand, if it doesn't, maybe he can get back to working on the Spike movie.
-
Now that this has been picked up, "Beyond" is dead. I don't think I really care, but thought I'd point that out.
-
CHOSEN giftset like we got for buffy? That price was amazing.
-
Yackbacker hit the nail right on the head. Thay should also bring back Jackie Chan just for the Hell of it! I've got a feeling with Minear's History with Fox that it will be a hit, but because Fox doesn't like to keep good shows around for long will be soon after cancelled. Beyond also sounds like it will have a quick death as few Sci-fi shows truly survive on the Fox network!
-
a joke that involved, Cannonball Run, Rat Race, Smokey and the Bandit. Then I read Variety's article and found that they were going to use 2 out of the 3 i just mentioned. That is not a good sign. My prediction: DVD boxset on sale in summer 2008 that reads "The Complete Series"
-
... and I thought it was awesome. I'm thrilled it's going on the air.
-
Or at least statues, of the Emmy kind. Someone get that man some luck...and a studio away from Fox!
-
i think i know how it ends.
-
Weeds was fucking awesome this season. It's been said to me that maybe all seasons should be 13 eps long. something to think about, but I'm American so I always want more of a good thing. anyway if he did angel and firefly maybe Minear's got some chops, but Herc, the Inside was fucking awful. I mean it. It was terrible. and that was his baby. so I dont feel overly optimistic about this project which I've actually never heard of until now. hope it doesn't suck. but my spidey sense is tingling. and my spidey sense detects shows that suck.
-
Cuz tonight's episode was EASILY the best of the season so far.
-
After seeing the jaw-droppingly brilliant first five minutes at Worldcon, and hearing Tim talk about the show, I think he's finally succeeded in creating a vehicle (ha ha) that FOX executives can understand and support. Which is the whole enchilada. Realize that Wonferfalls actually got decent-good ratings relative to its Friday-night death slot. And Drive is vastly more accessible to the general public. If FOX gives this a good time slot, meaning that the execs grok the first few delivered eps, then the show hitting big is a foregone conclusion. Unless they reject the orginal pilot and force him to write a game but ultimately inferior replacement over the course of a weekend.
-
seriously, have they announced the street date for the complete series dvd set yet?
-
but CatVutt, you're right...after a few shaky outings, VM finally got it together again this week. Let's hope the earlier eps were just an anomaly.
-
I was hoping it would be a continuing TV series version of the Mark Dacascos-Kedeem Hardison movie. This from the network that cancelled Brisco County Jr. and John Doe.
