"Wanna take a Drive with me?"
Posted by bystander on 04-17-07 at 08:50 AM
A $32 million cross country road race where the contestants aren't exactly willing participants? Sign me up! It's like The Amazing Race with a vengeance. Get to the finish line first if you ever want to see your loved one alive again. What's not to like about it?

I watched the first 3 hours and now I'm hooked. I may just use this as my mid-season replacement for Jericho, 24 and DH.

Any takers out there? I know a certain someone who's always willing to watch a new show with me....


....or make fun of me for watching a new show.

...and what's the deal about the elmination round? Sorry, I don't have all the characters' names yet, but didn't you find it odd when she was given a gun and pictures of the other team that also came close to last? I plan to watch the first episode again. I missed alot of it, but don't you think the other team got the same deal? Is that why Tully's passenger is on the run from the guy driving the Dodge Charger? I wonder, if he's trying to eliminate her!

Admittedly, I was a bit pessimistic about this show, but I like it. It's like a cross between Amazing Race, Bullrun, 24, & Prison Break.

Did anyone notice when Tully was told at the orientation that someone had alot of money riding on him? It kinda reminds me of that movie, Rat Race, where they had "whales" betting on them to see who would come in first.

I was also wondering about that. Maybe the people betting on the contestants are the ones that are able to get them out of jams. The woman with the baby had someone pose as her husband to get her out of jail and Tully had that fake cop get him the new car.

We've been watching and appreciating this show.

"where Lee surrendered"
"not this time"

It makes me nervous to get invested in a show on Fox when the outcome is kind of important to the story. (Reunion anyone?)

I really hate Fox right now. To think, I was actually thinking this show might last. Shame on me.

I checked Google News and didn't see anything official about that.

Bad timing. I might have watched this show in the summer, but right now my sched is full. Maybe they should consider it as a summer replacement.

Starting it mid-season was a recipe for disaster. They put it up against two shows I was already dedicated to.

Germicho might take you back, even though you moved temporarily to the evil neighboring town.

We watched the first episode and were hooked. But it hasn't aired since. WTH? Obviously I missed something. My DVR was set and everything.

I believe they aired 4 hours in total and then it went away.
