Drive

Fox has been advertising a new show called Drive lately. Apparently it is about an illegal cross-country road race. It looks kind of interesting for a couple reasons. First, it stars Nathan Fillion, who I really enjoyed in Firefly. Secondly, it calls to mind some great road race movies of the past: Cannonball Run, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Rat Race, etc. Although this show seems to be more of a drama than a comedy, hopefully they will be able to work in some humor. Thirdly, it is co-created, written, and produced by Tim Minear. I really enjoy some of Tim's past works. I own the DVDs of Firefly and Wonderfalls and really love both shows. I started watching The Inside when it was on, but it was taken off so quickly that I couldn't tell if it would be any good. Hoepfully, Drive will be good, and FOX will be able to keep it on the air.
