Ratings Review: ZERO HOUR

February 2013 has been harsh to new series. In just the 28 days of the month, three new series were cancelled. DO NO HARM, THE JOB and now ZERO HOUR. Between the three shows they aired just 7 episodes.

For ZERO HOUR, Thursday night’s ratings of just 5 million viewers and a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49 was enough for the executives of ABC. On Friday, March first, the show was cancelled and taken off the air.

Repeats of Shark Tank will air on March 7th and 14th. WIFE SWAP will then take over the time slot when it returns starting March 21. There is a chance the remaining ZERO HOUR episodes might air during the summer.
