Jonny Zero

I was literally blown away by this new action drama. Johnny Zero is definitely a must see. I see this series becoming a classic if those involved actors, directors, producers continue doing what they are doing , well they got the hell of a series in their hands.

Calvo (aka Johnny Zero) a former drug user turned private eye is quite an inspirational character. I like to see when people who once made bad choices turn their lives around and become upstanding members of their communities, helping those who are battling the same demons he once battled himself.

He's a very compassioned individual. In today's episode he went as far as saving the life of someone who wanted to torture him. That who scene and dialogue was quite funny in fact.

The natural acting abilities of the entire cast will surely make this series a must see.

I thought that this show would be good, as the producer behind ER was doing this show...boy, was I wrong. For being marked as another "tough guy who doesn't play by the rules," Jonny runs away from almost every fight in the show. Other times, he simply gets beat up by bouncers, the FBI, and even a 17-year-old girl who kicks him in the 'nads. That's not to mention his acting, in which Jonny always sounds like he's tired, whining, or both. And his sidekick "Random" is another stereotypical "lame white boy trying to act black." Why, oh why did a man who produced ER decide to attach his name to this piece of crap? If this show is lucky, it will get five episodes out before being cast back into the darkness from whence it came.

I was not shocked that Jonny Zero was canceled. In a schedule of "reality", where is there room for a show like this? Action, dark characters, cleaver plots, exciting guest stars and cast members and not to mention the star Frankie G., are a few traits of what this show had going on. We as an audience were just getting to know the characters and they unmercifully yank them away. There have been a hand of shows that I couldn't wait to watch, this was one of them. There was more realness in this show than in many. A person would think that the network would at least show all the episodes before making such a stupid and rash decision of canceling a show with such great potential. For such a brief relationship you will be missed. RIP in Jonny Calvo and friends.

I agree with most of the people who have spoken. This show has a lot of potential, but it needs some work. A lot of the stuff will probably work itself out as the writers and actors get more familiar with the characters they are working with. The sidekick character seems the most out-of-place and needs the most adjustment. I would like to see more of the impact being restricted by parole has on the main character. Could he really work in a night club? Not in my state, he couldn't. Someone else mentioned that he seemed to run from a lot of the fights, well on parole, any arrest can get a parolee right back in front of the parole board and sent right back inside, they don't even have to be convicted of the crime. A new charge of a violent crime would result in a revocation faster than ever. I think the show could be great and it is a definite improvement over the current "reality" show crap all the networks are shoveling.

I can't believe why FOX decided to put this show on Fridays where the show wasn't going to get real fair in terms of ratings! Jonny Zero is a drama about a guy named Jonny who is freshly released from prison for drug possession and is now caught between his need to redeem himself in the eyes of his family, and the temptations and influences of his own dark past. Jonny goes back to work for his former boss, shady club owner Joseph Garret but this time he uses his criminal knowledge of New York's club scene to solve crimes. Meanwhile, the FBI is trying to force him to go undercover and bust his old friends in the underworld. FOX should have put this show on either Mondays or Wednesdays and the show would have not been canceled by FOX in the first place. Fridays isn't really the best night of the week for any prime-time network because everyone is out doing stuff on Friday nights. But thought this show was cool and FOX should bring this show back!
