The most compelling two hours of television in recent memory was Monday from 8 to 10 PM: “Drive” and “Heroes.”
“Drive” literally hit the ground running and didn’t slow down. Incredibly compelling, expertly directed, confidently written, well-acted, Kath and I were immediately pulled in. I mean, sure, the fanboy in me loved the notion that Captain Malcolm Reynolds was married to Winifred Berkel, but there was way more to the series than. WAY more.
By the third episode, I knew. I knew beyond question:
Fox would cancel it.
Why?
Because it’s Fox, the network that wouldn’t recognize a quality show with both hands and a flashlight. If Fox were airing “Heroes,” they would have canceled it by the fourth episode.
After the third episode, I turned to Kath and said, “You realize Fox is going to dump it and we’re never going to find out how any of it ends.”
Sure enough, they just dumped it. One more episode will air next Monday, and two more already in the can will never be broadcast.
They’re idiots. It’s that simple: Idiots.
