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! 
Update: The episodes have since been rescheduled to air on Friday, July 13th.
I was recording Drive on my DVR and had watched the 1st 3 showings… Canelling it was a major disappointment. I had mentioned the show to 3 other people, but they never got a chance to see it, they pulled the switch too soon. I agree with the other folks that say they would rather not watch repeats. The only reason I watch a repeat is if I missed the orginal showing for some reason. Bring Drive back….. I guess I’ll have to DVR any new series from FOX and wait a few months before watching them, so I don’t… Read more »
bring the damn show back, when it gets damn interesting u gotta take it off, u gotta be kidding me, WTF IS THE BIG IDEA…….we want everything to how it was…..house is ok but DRIVE IS WAY F**KING BETTER…..we want it back NOW!!!!!!!!! start from episode 3 or so everybody can get back on track because episode 3 was shown but not episode 4…….this sh*t is wack & very lame…….all the viewers demand that DRIVE comes back!!!!!!
thanks for pulling drive. now lost is the only series worth wathing. drive was its only competition. how can you give a show a chance with only four episodes. i was telling everybody about drive. once again fox screws nathon. firefly was damn good too. if i was nathon i would go broke than make another movie deal with fox
Me and my husband are so mad!!!!!! I hate fox!!! We will NEVER watch another new show on this station again! Drive was one of the best shows we have seen in such a long time, even if it was only 2 or 3 episodes!!! You have made such a bad mitake!! PLEASE PUT THIS SHOW BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like everyone else on here can not beleive that you cancled the show… It took me till the 2nd season of house before i watched an episoid and decide that i liked it. but this show drive was different. you got hooked from the fist viewing. To bad you made this bad decison to drive the show off……….
At least show the ending to the race not the 5th and 6th episode if your canceling.. who cares about 5 and 6. Its the ending and who gets to the end that matters.. !!!!!!
What the hell. Bring Drive back. It made for one hell of an action packed Monday night. I thought it was a great show. Now they are ending it with the final 2 episodes to air on July 4th, with no resolve? What a crock. Fox always cancels the best shows. Anyone remember John Doe? Or Tru Calling? Two other shows they bailed on.
I agree with all of you! Drive was great and so was FIREFLY!!! Bring it back Fox. I love House, but come on, reruns? Why not give the new show a better(longer?) chance? Bring Drive back, bring Drive back, bring Drive back….
I can’t believe FOX pulled it after showing 4 hours. I mean COME ON GUYS! I saw all 4 hours and was really looking foreard to the season, but nooooooooooooo, it doesn’t measure up to 24 so let’s pull it. That’s CRAP! 24 is getting BORING and Drive was going to be your new hit! You have made a big mistake! The 6 million of us that tuned in say THANKS ALOT!
This is really unfortunate that they would cancel a show that was actually worth watching. My whole family enjoyed the show and that doesn’t happen often. By that I mean a show that isn’t too racy for kids or too childish for adults. By the way who is the genius that decided to air the final two shows on a night that no one is at home to watch them? Come on July 4th? Most of the population is out enjoying the festivities with family and friends. Talk about poor ratings…their you go! Thanks for getting us hooked on a… Read more »
We really liked Drive, now they are taking it off the air. WHAT’S UP WITH THIS!! Have the executives ever watched this show??? This could be a great show, give it a chance. PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON, IT BEATS RERUNS! Drive is better than some of the shows that you currently have on the air, that are just bad.
Drive was the perfect adrenaline rush to precede “24”. You’ve ruined our traditional Monday Family Night!!!
BRING “DRIVE” BACK!!!!!!!! Not just some thrown together B.S. pseudo-ending, but the whole series.
DRIVE WAS THE BEST PLEASE FOX BRING IT BACK!
It always amazes me that good shows like Drive get taken off the air, and crude like 24 or Prison break get left on. I tried watching both and I couldn’t get into it. Also did it ever occur to you dummies that people have DVRs. Put the show back on. It always bugs me when I get hooked on a show and without any warning it’s snatched off the air.
I cannot BELEIVE this! I watched this show ever since they advertised it months in advance then Fox pulls it? Monday was action packed! Drive then 24! How could I lose? I’m flummoxed to say the least. Once again Fox screws Nathan Fillion!
