There’s not a lot of television I watch. I’m more apt to be reading about photography online, or poking around at Lego sites. I might get addicted to the occasional game, PC or console, or I’ll putter on a project of some sort. So when I found the show Drive I was psyched for two reasons. First, it had Nathan Fillion who I loved in the series Firefly which led to the movie Serenity and the show’s addicting nature. When I was seeing it advertised, I was skeptical, but I tuned in for the premiere to see what it was all about, because of ole’ Nate. I was instantly hooked. I watched the second show that followed it up. I tuned in the next night for the usual schedule airing and set it as a favorite in SageTV.
So when I tuned in tonight for the 5th episode, I was confused to see House airing. I got worried when it also triggered the memory I was not able to schedule Drive as a favorite this weekend when I set up my server again after migrating which system would handle my file server and pvr duties. I started looking around and found on a site that the show had been CANCELED!
What? Canceled? Why? Whoa, hang on, I found the Fox site and sure enough, they have decided to show reruns of House instead. RERUNS! WTF?!
Is poor old Nathan jinxed? After all Firefly was canceled after 14 episodes, the cast found out at the Christmas party. But that show was awesome too! No, really, give it a watch. It was a believable Sci-Fi.
So what gives? Do I fit in the minority of TV likes? Or is America really so in to it’s vote the next person off, far-fetched reality bull that they no longer recognize a good TV show when they see it?
Well I guess it’s back to video games, hope they don’t turn me into a crazed lunatic like the government tells me they will!
