After it's premier, "Drive" will move to it's regular spot (at least for now) on Monday (beginning the next night) at 8pm as the lead in to 24. Nathan Fillion was cast in the lead role ("Captain Tightpants"/Calab) and Amy Acker (Fred/Illyria) was just added to the cast. I wish Tim luck as he sure has had enough mis-fortune , especially with Fox. His recent record:
Angel (WB)...one of the best shows in TV history, cancelled by a money-starved network prematurely after 5 seasons.
Firefly...cancelled after 11 episodes by Fox
Wonderfalls...cancelled after only 4 episodes by Fox
The Inside...I think Fox pulled the plug after 5-6 episodes

Well the placement of the two-hour pilot was atrocious. Stack it up right alongside Desperate Housewives and Extreme Home Makeover?!
That gaurantees that nobody at all will watch it.
