After pulling two previously scheduled airings, 'Drive' will sputter off

The final two remaining orphaned episodes of FOX's "Drive" are about to park themselves online.

After several attempts to schedule the fifth and six hours of the swiftly cancelled racing drama, FOX has decided not to put "Drive" back on the network. Instead, those "Drive" hours will begin streaming on myspace.com/fox and FOX affiliate sites beginning Monday, July 16.

After only three airings and four programming hours, FOX removed "Drive" from its schedule on April 25. The series, which featured an ensemble including Nathan Fillion and Kristin Lehman, averaged only 5.6 million viewers overall and a 2.3 rating in the key 18-49 demographic.

FOX initially decided to burn off the last two produced "Drive" episodes on July 4. Instead, the network opted to go with a screening of the Adam Sandler movie "Anger Management" on the low-rated night. At the time, FOX set its "Drive" marathon for this Friday (July 13). Instead, the network opted to air a "Bones" repeat and a "Standoff" episode on Friday the 13th.

With only six episodes in the can, it's unclear if "Drive" aired enough episodes for even a slim DVD release.
