Described as NASCAR meets LOST, Fox’s summer series has reportedly been cancelled already:
Drive has been impounded
Multiple sources confirm that Fox has axed the Tim Minear creation after less than three weeks on the air. I’ll go out on a limb and say the show’s crappy ratings were to blame. House encores will take over its Monday/8 pm time slot.
There is one piece of good news: I’m hearing the final two unaired Drive eps may get burned off on consecutive Fridays in May.
Developing…
The premiere debuted to only 6 million viewers which immediately put Drive behind Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and even The Apprentice on NBC. Forbes noted that debuting a new series in mid April wasn’t the best of timing
“Viewers aren’t conditioned to look for new things, and Sunday favorites like “Desperate Housewives” and “The Sopranos” were back with new episodes this week in the stretch drive for the TV season.”
I was actually sort of starting to get into Drive and at least it wasn’t another reality TV show. Plus will Nathan Fillion ever get the break he deserves? - On the bright side for Lost fans this might mean he’s available for more flashbacks with Kate

What the….@#$%#! Drive was way better than all these stupid reality shows. Are you telling me House is better? Whatever! Fox you got this one wrong. Give it a chance, Gosh people it took Battle star Gallactica 2 years to get enough people viewing it to make it work.

Why do the best tv shows keep getting cancelled? I don’t understand why the shows that keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing the whole show are what get pulled, when the reality tv shows that are getting way out of hand are coming out of the woodwork! Because of things like this, I now only watch 2 shows on tv a week, and I guarantee you they’re not on FOX!!

This was one of the best series premieres in a loonnngggg time and they’re pulling it already.. Drive was fresh and unique with a good cast and great plot… To the Fox execs, the adults are over “Idol” and “House” is not working for a number of us.. Give the show a chance
