I was excited to watch the Zero Hour (7 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4) pilot. It promised adventure, mystery, bad guys-vs. good guys and - hopefully - fun.
Boy, was I disappointed. It was pretty much a big ol' bore. And the parts that weren't boring were amateur and lame.
The show - about a conspiracy that involves the Catholic Church, the Nazis and the possible end of the world, looks pretty good, but is loaded with horrible dialogue, bad direction, bad acting and just general nonsense.
I'm curious about what the big mystery is. But I'm even more curious about how this could have gone so wrong.
