As you may have heard, ABC has cancelled Zero Hour after three episodes. The TV show’s ratings were terrible to start and then got worse in weeks two and three.
The cast and crew filmed 13 episodes of Zero Hour and word is that the network may air the rest of them sometime this summer. Because the ratings were so bad, that doesn’t seem likely but we’ll have to wait and see.
In case you’re curious, here’s some information about the episodes that you won’t be seeing, at least for awhile.

What do you think? Do you think that ABC should release the episodes online or wait for summer?
Please show all the episodes or at least make them available for purchase or to watch online. I was really enjoying the show and now I’m left hanging. 🙁
Just got really into the story line and it is cancelled! Please release the rest of the episodes so I can see the end of the story!
One of the best shows I have seen, very intense and thought provoking. Also like Shark Tank but only watch that because there is nothing better to watch. I would rather be watching some of the cooking shows. One of the best shows I have seen is the History Show “The Bible”. Also like “The Batchelor”, but can’t believe they canceled Zero Hour after airing 3 episodes but they show 3 hours of the Batchelor in one night. They did this several years ago with another show that I can’t remember the name of but it was about space craft… Read more »
I agree that Zero Hour should return. Don’t know why the ratings were poor. I enjoyed the drama and story line.
I thought this was the best new show to come on in a long time. Hate the reality shows and mindless so called comedies. This show had originality.
It’s hard to believe that some network executive would cancel the remaining 10 episodes of a show that must have taken quite a bit of expense to produce after only 3 episodes aired. I don’t think it had proper advance exposure to attract viewers for the premier, resulting in the poor ratings. The show seemed to have everything a large sector of the viewing public likes (intriguing plot; excitement; very interesting period of history; involvement of sect connected to the Catholic Church at a time of pope selection, child abuse scandals, etc; mystery; and more). I wish there was a… Read more »
I truely enjoyed Zero Hour. I believe some of the comments on the show being canceled due to the religious content and some group with some pull actually had more to do with it than the ratings did. But it shouldn’t have matter to those groups because in the end it was just a show, fiction. And a simple show is not going to change the true beliefs and views of those who hold religion in high regards, as I myself do. This show was just for entertainment, just happened to to have great suspense and mystery to it. If… Read more »

Please bring Zero Hour back.
Please continue the rest of the episodes. I really like what I have seen to date. Please give it more time.
Please put Zero Hour back on, it’s with a doubt one of the best T.V. series i have yet seen.
If they can’t make money airing during the summer, the next best thing is to release it to Netflix & Hulu now to please, or at least appease the fans.
This might be a good policy for all future cancelled series – to keep fan anger to a minimum.
[I am still furious about Firefly / Serenity – the most original sci-fi show since the original Star Trek.]
Release it now, please.
I truly agree with all of the previous 51 comments. Mr Main stream media ABC messed up. They have nerve to say it was ratings when in fact some big shot did not like the content being delivered so they call in a favor. Just this one time I wished everyone would boycott this network. They do not deserve a licence to broadcast. They have done this before.
Please have ABC immediately release March 7, 2013 episode of Zero Hour as I was not at home and missed watching it on Global TV. I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I was really into this story and hate to have to wait for the summer to have new episodes released by ABC. Everyone has an opinion, so do I. Those of us who really enjoyed this show have a right to decide to continue watching it until the end of the story. There are not many interesting shows that are worth my time at the moment.
I just realized that March 7th episode was cancelled altogether whether I was home or not to watch it. I sure hope that it ABC keeps its promise to release the rest of the episodes this summer and that we are not waiting for nothing!
