It's getting harder to get outraged these days
How many times can I complain about the cancellation of a Fox show? I don't know. They just cancelled Drive after a two hour special and then two episodes at its regular time. Good thing the DVR will catch the final two episodes when they air at some random time (read Friday night) this summer unlike the final four episodes of Arrested Development, which I missed.
Is it that surprising that Drive was cancelled? Not really. While I did like the show on the whole, it had several characters that annoyed me. And they clearly were not racing through southern Georgia. Oh, and did I mention it was scripted.
But in other news, ABC is punting on Friday nights, which is now known as "National Bingo Night"! Woo-hoo! Bingo. On television. It's like all the fun of bingo, but without the ability to actually play yourself.
On the other hand, ESPN will be airing the national Rock Paper Scissors championship, and I'm kind of excited. Should it matter that its on ESPN and not a "network" network like ABC? No, it shouldn't. But I guess it does. I think it's that the RPS championship existed prior to the television coverage.
Oops gotta run, the Sopranos are on.

You know that Arrested Development is in syndication on G4 and HDNet, right? You should be able to catch those last episodes eventually. And you can watch pretty much all episodes for free on MSN at http://arresteddevelopment.msn.com/
so there is no excuse to miss those last four now.
And who knows, maybe it could make a comeback, like Family Guy.
