Allowing the Full Season to Play ...
For those confused ... Zero Hour was a mid-season replacement on ABC. After 3 episodes, they "cancelled" it. But because it was a mid-season show all 13 episodes were filmed and ready to air. ABC decided after the cancellation that instead of disposing of the show entirely that it would use the remaining episodes for a summer Saturday night run - which it is in the process of doing - concluding in August. Please note, the show has been cancelled - but ABC decided to let the story be told in full rather than leave it untold. So if you enjoy it, enjoy it now, it will be off the air soon, and no second season is planned.

He plays Brooklynite Hank Galliston, editor of Modern Skeptic magazine. Hank is a journalist who prefers facts over sensationalism, much to the chagrin of his two young reporters (they'd rather write about werewolves and skunk apes). Hank Galliston is a man still very much in love with his wife, Leila (Jacinda Barrett), she who runs a clock repair shop. Her sudden abduction by an international terr0rist provides the plot's impetus.

ZERO HOUR rapidly constructs a dense mythology, and perhaps it's too dense too soon. And you should know that the rest of this paragraph isn't SPOILER free. The tangled narrative ropes in Nazis (and then...

Its a real time twister.
I really liked this show but apparently people just didn't get it so ABC cancelled it. Maybe SyFy will pick it up, we need more intelligent TV series like Zero Hour.
