Jonny Zero

Not that bad of a show. Jonny takes a lot of pain but can also dish it out. Also seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time but just lucky enough to scrape by with his life. shows how hard it is to keep your nose clean after getting out of prison and finding yourself back in your old prison that was your life. Decent acting and action. hero has many hit points. since it has action and plot, will probably be canned for a new reality show "Life after Prison" (we follow five ex-cons as they compete for the ultimate prize! Watch as we tempt them to return to a life of crime! who will succumb?! Just Watch!) I would like to see this show continue for a full season or two. Good potential for this show.

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!

BOTTOM LINE: BRING THIS SHOW BACK!

I have to say that Johnny zero is a bit different from the other action shows that I have seen on TV for the past few years. I have to agree with an other user's comment saying that Franky G is sometimes a little too stiff in certain scenes but I can see that he fits the bad guy / good guy mold perfectly...you know, rough around the edges but smoother in the inside!!! He will grow into his character and then he'll be able to make us relate to that guy (Johnny) because it will come out a lot more natural. Since he seems to have all the right ingredients for that part I'm sure it will get way better!!! I have to say something about the sidekick (GQ)...from the first episode the character seems to be a little too comfortable in being shot at or looking at a gang of thugs waiting to beat you up and acting somewhat a little too calm about all this. It's like Johnny has found someone who's been waiting to be a sidekick all his life. Johnny has been in jail so he's somewhat used to that...but him??? I like GQ (Random)he's all right but the writers need to have this character step back a little and slowly get to be the friend, partner, sidekick of Johnny...it has to be a lot more natural people!!! My opinion also is that he needs to have somewhat of a better reason for wanting to hang around Johnny...not just because he wants to be pals with him. We all know why johnny bends in that direction, we know his angle...what's his??? With a little fine tuning I see a future for that show!!!

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.
