And this is the reason I refuse to watch any NEW show. I hate to invest any time into any show when the networks will just yank it after 1-4 shows.

The thing I don't get is that this is the summer. Why can't they just let a show run? I mean it isn't the highly cherished fall-spring season, so why can't they just let shows run the series. Especially when the show is 13 weeks long.

First Daybreak, now Drive.

Thank God for DVDs and Basic Cable.

Well that explains why Drive mysteriously dropped out of my Tivo's ToDo list. Bummer. Thanks for the update, though.

Fox is especially bad about this. I stopped watching any sort of ongoing series on Fox after John Doe was canceled at the end of the first season without any sort of closure.

Did someone producer of Drive sleep with a Fox big wig's wife? Its like someone at Fox is playing a nasty joke on someone on the Drive team. Either that or Fox is run by huge assholes.

I can't believe Fox has again decided not to air the final two hours of Drive. What's wrong with them?! This is the summer TV season, it's not like they have anything better to air! This is exactly why I won't be watching any of Fox's new shows in the fall.

So, instead of showing these two episodes on July 4th when nobody would have watched them anyway, they chose to air the same fireworks BS that EVERY other network was airing. Somebody at Fox needs to be fired.

I think I might cry. I loved this show, and just wish it would get some respect and some love from those in the broadcasting business. Does cancelling shows, and bumping their airings, ever make anybody happy? I know I'm sad whenever a show get cancelled, whether I watched it or not.

I'm a loyal Fox viewer (I was raised on the Sunday night standards of Simpsons and X-Files), but I really wish they would handle their programming better. Even House, their most watched non-reality program, goes into long and frequent hiatus's. (Hiati?) At least they've been doing a good job with airing 24. I'll take what I can get.

What a shame. I really wanted to see those last 2 episodes.

Damn you, Fox! Where else am I gonna get my Melanie Lynskey fix?

Thank you - at last I know! I looked everywhere when it was taken off the schedule again! There is nothing on their site explaining their actions! I wish I could send them a Howler to scream in the face of whoever is responsible! Making us love a show and then taking it away! Shame on Fox!!

OK, so we can get more of "so you think you can dance" and "don't forget the lyrics" How about this show, "Let's forget about Fox!!"

This was such bad news because my family and I got really attached to this show real quick.It was actually a show where you can not perdict the ending at all unlike other shows!!

Every good show Fox puts out fails before it even gets a chance. Remember Firefly? How about John Doe, Wonderfalls and Fastlane and the Family Guy (DVD sales brought that one back).

It seems like everytime there's a really good show, Fox just can't deal with the ratings. I don't know if it's their bad timing by starting these shows mid-season or if the executives just don't live in the 21st century. With so many people timeshifting their viewing, how can ratings even matter anymore?

If they aren't going to air the last two episodes of Drive, they should be online at the least and put it out on dvd as soon as possible.
