Many fans of the prematurely-cancelled FOX series Drive planned to watch the two remaining episodes on July 4th. The network subsequently rescheduled them for Friday, July 13th and then pulled them entirely. FOX has since released episodes five and six online but many were frustrated by the move.
At the recent Television Critics Association press tour, FOX Entertainment Chairman Peter Liguori tried to explain the network’s actions and offered, “It will always be a complicated issue with serialized shows. I do hope, given the amount of broadband there is out there, that actually airing those two [episodes] online will be satisfying for the loyalists of the show.”
Liguori went on to speak about the responsibility that networks have to viewers of serial shows, “I think in general, if we’re going to dive into serialized shows, I think what is important for the industry is somehow you bring some closure to those shows. It may not always be on broadcast with a lot of marketing, but again, when these shows wind up having a narrow group of loyalists, we try to satisfy them.”
Unfortunately for Drive fans, Liguori’s interest in “closure” didn’t include telling viewers who would have won the big road race. Maybe we’ll be luckier the next time FOX cancels a show? Stay tuned!

Why does Fox Network cancel all the good shows? They leave the fans hanging and nothing gets a closure. For the 1st time in a long time, Fox had a great show about, well, cars and driving and racing. It was exciting and kept you on the edge of your seat with lots of action. My husband LOVED that show and Fox can’t even show an ending as to who won the race?? Just the show come out on DVD with the ending. What a shame a good show got canned once again. They probably had a following too.
Another blunder for Fox. If they want to get the ratings out of new shows, then how’s about letting them air more than 4 episodes? They built Drive up to be a real big show, but then they cancel it after only a few episodes, why???? Personally, i was getting into the show. I’m sure that others would of too, if they had been give the chance to see the show. If it wasn’t for Family guy and Bones, i wouldn’t watch FOX at all. What happened to the edgy FOX, that brought us married with children?? Now days, it’s… Read more »
