Looks like a rip-off of National Treasure and The Librarian. I'll give it a try, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Saw the previews on ABC.com. Looks compelling and creative enough to merit an episode or two.

I watched the pilot episode on hulu. Looks pretty good, but be interesting if it can hold out past a few episodes.

As is the case with most new non-story of the week dramas these days? Started with Lost.

The review in my news paper didn't give it much praise. In fact, they said the show's title is a countdown to cancellation.

A counter review...guess we will soon know (when we get around to watching).

I forgot all about this show.Missed it entirely tonight.There is a replay on Sunday,I set the dvr to record it then.If anyone watches let us know what ya think.

OK...a two hour pilot that got edited into one (or so it seemed). Too much, too fast. Needed to take more time with the back-story and develop the characters without the rush. Who can turn their back on the concept? BUT, it desperately needs to SLOW DOWN!!!

Next Episode: Season 1, Episode 2

I finally got around to watching it and I agree, moved way too fast. There are a lot of details they could have explored. But, I suppose it is only a short season order so they want to do a bunch of stuff in like 9 episodes.

Not a good sign that the second episode was beat in ratings by a show on the CW...

 

[teachsac]

In 18-49, yes. That's what CW caters to. In total viewership, Zero Hour had 5.39 million viewsers to Vampire's 2.91

Might have something also to do with the fact that the audio was horrible. Background sounds were so loud that it was almost impossible to hear the dialog. I almost turned the show off, but had no other palatable viewing options during that hour. Many other viewers may have done just that. ABC finally corrected the problem with only a few minutes of the show left.

My audio was fine for the entire show...maybe it was your local channel.

Yep same here...but is still did not make it less miserable.

ABC cancels 'Zero Hour' after only three episodes - report

http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsideth...-hour-after-only-three-episodes---report.html

The clock has run out on "Zero Hour." According to a report from TV Line, ABC has canceled the series. The conspiracy thriller never really got off the ground, with three low-rated episodes.

Thanks for sharing osu1991.I won't waste my time watching the 3 episodes I have recorded.

 

[mike123abc]

I have to agree the third episode really did not do much.
