Bad Luck: FOX Pulls 'Drive' From Friday the 13th
Remaining two episodes are now in limbo
For the second consecutive week, FOX has opted to leave fans of the quickly cancelled "Drive" hanging.The last remaining episodes of the car-racing drama have been pulled from this Friday's (July 13) schedule, only a week after the previously scheduled July 4th burnoff was also truncated.
Last week's two "Drive" episodes were replaced by the feature "Anger Management" on FOX's schedule. For this Friday, FOX plans to keep with its regularly scheduled airings of "Bones" repeats plus burnt-off new episodes of "Standoff." That combination gave FOX a 0.8 rating among adults 18-49 and drew just over 3.2 million viewers last Friday night, good for fifth place in both measures.
As of now, FOX hasn't made plans to reschedule those final two produced episodes of "Drive," with the ever-present possibility that the episodes may just be put on the Internet.
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.
