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?
Bring it back! I enjoyed it!
I agree that the show was one of the most enjoyable ones on TV. I’m tired of all the reality competitions. Give me some great characters to follow and a good story and I will follow it faithfully. My son and I looked forward to this show each week and have been very disappointed. Now I just read- what’s on is not worth watching!! Please bring it back!!
Bring it back or release it on netflix! They aired on valentines day, nobody was watching tv! And when are you all going to start counting the numbers of viewers who dvr shows?!?! Seeing how that’s how pretty much everyone watches tv now, your missing out giving up information therefore punishing us your viewers!
Every time I get interested in a series – it gets pulled – why not just let the 13 episodes run and then have done with it – really unfair to get us started on something and not end it the proper way – I’m disgusted with channel 7 – I won’t start any series on “7” again for fear they will do the same thing
They should play out the rest of the show! If the networks keep starting shows & taking them off the air as fast as this one, I’ll return to just watching DVD’s again! Why wast time on normal TV if they want to treat us like that.
Oh my
I really enjoyed this show.
Bring it back
Shark tank?
Really?
ABC just makes me crazy! I love good mystery shows and was really enjoying Zero Hour. Then, all of a sudden, it was gone! How on Earth can you say that Shark Tank is better!??! Shark Tank RERUNS – REALLY!? I hate cop shows because they are all so predictable. Zero Hour at least made you think, held your attention, and had great unpredictable turns of events. BRING IT BACK – sooner rather than later!!
What ever happened to at least letting the season air before cancelling? How can a show obtain momentum if it’s pulled before out gets started? Just my luck, finally a show that involved thinking and it’s gone…
Plan on boycotting abc….zero hour was interesting and intriguing and was the only show on abc that was worth watching…..it was cancelled before people really understood what it was about. Where are the other ten episodes?
Please release all episodes. I was really enjoying the show, Zero Hour. I am so disappointed that the show was cancelled. I really want to know how all the characters are connected. I always enjoy shows with lots of twist and intrigue. I don’t think it is right to end shows with cliff hangers still hanging. Crossing Jordan ends with a plane crash. 4400 is cancelled and your left wondering about the fate of the characters. I would prefer for the episodes to be released on-line so I can watch them all at once. 🙂
Love this show!! Figures they would cancel a show that had some depth to it & required some focus.
Zero Hour was something new, something different. A welcome change from all the talk shows, music contests, and the crime shows. It had mystery and a cliff hanger at the end that kept you coming back for more. If you cant show it on tv at least release it rest of the season on hulu or netflix. That way those of us who liked the show don’t drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out what happened next.
No wonder I couldn’t find it!! Cancelled. I agree with others who comment on surprise and big time disappointment. Either put it online or run next summer with NOTIFICATION as to when it airs. The world is ruled by number crunchers 🙁 . I wonder if any of them watch TV shows?
I cant believe the dummies would take such a good show off.
I just learned the show was cancelled while a ; little cheesy it was just starting I hope these boneheads at abc run the rest of the episodes
