These TV Shows Desperately Deserve A Revival

Fox Couldn’t Afford Fastlane’s Insane Budget

FOX had extremely high expectations for the action/crime drama Fastlane. It had a full season order (22 episodes) when it premiered, and a great timeslot (Wednesdays at 9 p.m.). It was doing well in the ratings department when they suddenly switched it to a much worse slot: Friday nights. The ratings went down, but not too far. It seemed a shoe-in for a second season, yet it was never picked up for one. It was just too darn expensive to produce: $2.6 million-per-episode to be exact. This was due to all of the high-end cars, locations, stunts, explosions, and music (by many major artists). The network just couldn’t afford it.
