“Zero Hour,” the latest brainchild from Paul Scheuring (“Prison Break”), did not last as long as “Last Resort,” the last low-rated series to occupy its timeslot.
Nor did it last as long as “ER,” Anthony Edwards’ last Thursday-night series.
ABC is yanking the series immediately following three low-rated airings. It will be replaced by “Shark Tank” reruns, then “Wife Swap,” then (as predicted) “Wipeout!”
How it ranked against the other ABC series:
