Ewww - beer and popcorn?
Ok. Now I'm intrigued. I've been hearing about this on the board for a while but never realy read into it much. I think I'm bout to start doing me some research!
 
I saw a preview for it last night on tv...and thought... "Hmm...should I watch this? I know it's by Tim Minear...so what do I think?"

Now I have to watch it if it contains buffyverse actors! 🙂
 
I was looking forward to this before, I thought it sounded cool, but with Amy in it I actually can't wait!
 
Yeah I haven't been online too much lately so I hadn't heard anything about this until Joamna told me about it today.. Now I really have to try to get the time to watch it.. Definitely have to. Mhm.
 
There are some pics of the cast of Drive here.

None of Amy though, as hers is a recurring character, not a regular.

DRIVE is an action-fueled drama following a diverse group of Americans driving for their lives (or the lives of their loved ones) in a sinister, cross-country road race. Some of them have been coerced into joining The Race; others have sought out The Race themselves, hearing rumors of the $32-million prize. Each has a reason to compete. And each must win.

Among the varied racers are a man thrust into The Race in an effort to find his missing wife; a single mother competing under great strain … or possibly something much more strange; a buttoned-down scientist and his rebellious 15-year-old daughter; two brothers in a stolen, pimped-out Caddy that carries secrets of its own; and a gorgeous and mysterious female stowaway who may well hold the key to the secrets of The Race.

There are other competitors as well, but when no one is told whom they’re racing against, or even where the finish line is, anything is possible. With each mile clocked, the drivers get closer, not only to the finish line and a critical, life-changing victory, but to understanding the mystery behind The Race itself.
 
Reading N4H's above post normally I would not even watch the first episode. Its not something I would normally watch, but now that Nathan has been added I have to give it a go.

That's just what I've been doing, and I think I'm definitely going to give it a try.🙂 I actually think it sounds interesting, and with a good cast & strong writing, I'm hoping I will be pleasantly surprised.
 
I honestly don't get all this stuff about people only watching because of the Whedonverse actors and writers. I mean, this show is so unique how could so many people say that? And then almost everyone seems to have this attitude that it probably won't be very good, but "Hey! I'll watch it for Nathan Fillion."

And I'm not referring to anyone specific here, it's at nearly every board I visit.

*sigh*
 
Perhaps people expect a good show when there are actors/writers that have previously produced good shows that they are familiar with? I don't know...

That might be a good thing though, as maybe people who perhaps wouldn't even have given it a chance, may tune in, watch it and enjoy it. 🙂

Personally I actually like the premise of the show, and I am hoping that the characters (not the actors 😉 ) have interesting stories that are going to make me want to follow what happens to them each week. I like shows that draw you in, and this really does sound like it will do that. 😀

I did some background reading on the show, and that's why I decided to watch it, not for Whedonverse actors or writers, but because it sounds like it will be good.

I'll admit that my attention was drawn to it because I saw this thread - not so much for the Nathan Fillion/Amy Acker mention, but because I had seen the other thread and I was like 'What is this 'Drive' all about?' and so finally curiousity got the better of me and I had to read both threads, but if I didn't like the synopsis then I wouldn't bother to watch it. 🙂

I know you ARE talking about me CDB 😛

But anyway...personally, the show does not sound that exciting to me. I don't think it's that original (Cannonball Run, Road Rules anyone?) but that doesn't really matter to me, it's that the premise just doesn't excite me at all. But if an actor I like is on a show I might give it a chance even if I don't think the show sounds very good. Like I might just watch Heroes this week because Chris Eccleston is on it even though I think the show is putrid lol. You never know, the show *could* be good, but if it doesn't sound interesting to me I have to have some other reason for watching it.

Different strokes for different folks 😉

Actually I wasn't talking about you, lol. But I've seen people talk like that here, TV.com, IMDB, the FOX boards, and a few others...

You make a good point, I suppose, even though I WASN'T talking about you. lol

And PUTRID?! Such a strong and odd choice of word. 😉
 
Yeah but I think even the most obsessed Heroes fan would admit the pilot PALES in comparison to the last aired episode. But personally, even though I really enjoy this show, I don't like it as much as I thought I would...I'd rather watch Supernatural or Lost or even Desperate Housewives...but ARE you watching the episode with Christopher E. in it? Or were you just talking.
 
Nope, I have it set to be tivo'd and even cancelled the episode of Rome I was going to tape in order to do it lol. And even though I've never watched it, I'm sure I'd rather be watching Rome than Heroes lol
