A feeling I have about the humor in Drive is not as much that Sanjo actually wants to put that much humor in the show but Toei/Bandai telling him to put that much in there because of the situation we had with Gaim.

Normally Sanjo really knows the stregths and weaknesses of his actors and for the most part he writes comedy so the actors actually are funny. But alot of the jokes in Drive are the exact opposites of that. Mostly everything that has to do with the Special Crimes Unit.

With Gaim we had the situations that alot of kids stopped watching the show. Which probably resulted from the show being just too serious and complicated fro kids to enjoy. So Toei/bandai paniced and everytime Toei/Bandai panics stuff goes wrong for these shows. I wouldnt be surprised if they told Sanjo to put as much humor as humanly possible in each episodes because they think thats what kids wanna see even if it just doesnt work in the shows favor.
