'Drive' parked after four episodes

Fox has ditched Tim Minear drama Drive from its schedule effective immediately.

The series - about a group of strangers competing in a mysterious race across America - failed to garner an adequate audience, despite a huge promotional push on the back of American Idol.

Four episodes have already aired and the network is now deciding whether to burn off the remaining two episodes later in the summer or online.

Repeats of House will fill the Monday, 8pm slot through May.
