Not a good test in my mind, but they seem to like it. All networks do it too. They base everything on the first couple of episodes. Not a good test in my mind, but they seem to like it.

The first time (I remember )they did it was to Kindred the Embraced. Then They did it to Firefly and with another a show I never even heard of "The Standoff" (found on Imdb) that sounded pretty good. Now they have done it to Drive. After this season of 24 I am no longer going to watch FOX at all. There are plenty of good channels and good books to read with out being contstantly disappointed by FOX. Fox has a track record for doing this.

No more FOX shows for me. If it finishes a first season I will download it with no commercials. I can't believe they did this to us. Jean That’s it. No more FOX shows for me.

Fox is retarded. They'll keep shows that jumped the shark but won't let other series develop enough or stay on long enough for people to find it. I HATE FOX! Yes. Fox is retarded.

I was switching to the PBS show on: "The Lonely Turtle" which I must admit was much more riveting than "Drive." What a disappointment watching endless chatter and driving. It was almost like torture. Seriously, torture. It would be like putting a web cam in your car and then car pooling and filming everyone. No, actually that would be more exciting. Clearly Mr. Minear is going for the "LOST" mystery vibe, but it is sooo dang boring. It could only get more boring if they were all contestants in a grocery store and we switched viewing their dialogue and scences between aisles as they raced shopping carts. Just imagine, squeeky wheels, some tires wouldn't move, they maybe out of Mocha Fudge Ice Cream---eeehhh gads, the horror and mystery of it all can be found in: "Cartin' in the SuperMarket." I feel SOOO sorry for the talented actors. Sorry for them. Pity actually as they deserve better than this. Such disppointment and waste of the denero. I have read shows are not cheap to make. Mr. Minear: You have a big problem because the show is called "Drive" so really any advice won't work because they have to, ya know, Drive. But geez, that is so boring. And way toooo many characters who are dumb. Totally disappointed and feeling sorry for the actors. I completely agree with you however I did watch the first show….well some of it.

I'm also getting a little tired of waiting for the end. But I think the commercials for Drive already have me hooked. Not fair. Jean Have to say I agree with you on shows.
