It’s unimaginatively called /DRIVE on NBC Sports, and starts its fourth season tonight. The show is hosted by three guys you may have heard of before – Chris Harris, Matt Farah, and Mike Spinelli. Alex Roy makes an appearance on the show, too. And guess what, it’s a show about about cars, hosted by three guys who like cars. If that seems familiar, it’s because it is. Shows like that have been coming and going for years. But many of those shows failed not because of budgets or bad ideas – they failed because the cast was all wrong and everything was scripted and poorly acted.
What makes the /DRIVE on NBC Sports different is that Chris, Matt, and Mike have known each other for years. They have worked together, hangout together, and drank together. There is no chemistry to be made here because it’s already there. Combine that with some cool cars and good ideas and you have a TV show that can finally rival that one British show.
Checkout the season preview video above. The season starts tonight at 10:00pm EST with a two-episode special, “What Makes Fast” and “Miami Vices”. There are seven episodes in total and the last one is a one-hour special. Looks like good entertainment.
