ABC has pulled the conspiracy thriller Zero Hourfrom its schedule after three low-rated broadcasts. Thursday's episode drew just 5.1 million viewers and did not fare well among advertiser-coveted young adults.

The time slot -- Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT -- has been a ratings challenge for ABC. Last Resort had a 13-episode run there earlier this season.

The remaining episodes of the Anthony Edwards drama could run in the summer, although ABC has not made a decision.

Repeats of Shark Tank will replace Hour for the next two Thursdays. The non-celebrity version of Wife Swap will then take over the time slot for seven weeks starting March 21, followed by Wipeout on May 9.
