We Interrupt This Blog….

by Lindsay Stetler

Wow. Not much going on in crime dramas. Veronica Mars doesn’t return until May 1 (Boo CW!) and Numb3rs was a repeat Friday. So I’m going to take a moment to pimp a non-crime drama.

Drive, the show about an illegal cross-country race worth $32 million. The season premiere was last night and I was suitably impressed. Of course, with all the Whedonverse alums - including Captain Tightpants himself, Nathan Fillion, as the lead - and Tim Minear at the helm, it could be the worst piece of crap ever to air on FOX and I’d still watch it.

Of course, I’m wary about its chances for success. FOX is not known for giving shows a chance and ever since they cancelled Firefly, I’ve only watched the channel when absolutely unavoidable. 24, House, and Bones are pretty much all I watch.

Anyway, Drive settles into its normal timeslot at 8 tonight. I recommend giving it a shot.

    Drive’s Monday night episode was great! I’m hooked. Yes, the premise is thin and suspension of disbelief is required, but that’s not new to fans of 24 or Prison Break either. And Nathan and that Challenger are smokin’ hot. I’ll be watching again this Monday night.
