After just two weeks, FOX is pulling their new Second Chance TV show from its Wednesday night timeslot. Starting next week, the series will air on Friday nights at 9pm, switching places with Hell’s Kitchen. Ratings-challenged Sleepy Hollow will also begin airing on Friday nights at 8pm on February 5th.
The network hasn’t cancelled Second Chance yet but a timeslot change like this certainly doesn’t bode well for the series’ future. Neither do the ratings. The series debuted to a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.71 million viewers. In week two, the ratings dropped to a 1.0 rating with 3.75 million. Last year, FOX cut the show’s episode order to 11 installments though the producers say they requested the reduction.
Here are timeslot change details:

**TIME PERIOD PREMIERE**–“HELL’S KITCHEN” – (9:01-10:00 PM ET/PT) CC-AD-HDTV 720p-Dolby Digital 5.1

IT’S A GUT-WRENCHING CHALLENGE ON AN ALL-NEW “HELL’S KITCHEN” WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, ON FOX
After the contestants struggle to work together during opening night in the dining room, Chef Ramsay presents the red and blue teams with a communication challenge. Each contestant will wear a chef jacket with the dish they must complete written on the back of the jacket, while their teammates must read off the instructions to that contestant in order for him/her to properly prepare the dish. The team that correctly completes the most dishes will win a relaxing retreat in Santa Barbara, while the losing team must prepare the kitchen for the next dinner service, which involves gutting 100 lbs. of seabass. Later, during the dinner service, the teams will cook their second dinner service for VIP guests, including astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Find out which team will deliver an out-of-this world successful dinner service, and which team will struggle to manage the simplest tasks in the all-new “16 Chefs Compete” episode of HELL’S KITCHEN airing Wednesday, Jan. 27 (9:01-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

What do you think? Do you like the Second Chance TV show? Will you follow it to Fridays? Should Second Chance be cancelled?
Love this show…I would love to see how Duval and Pritchard relationship will turn out as long as what else Otto had up his sleeves.
Love the show
Best out there
Pls keep it
It seems as though, every time I find a show that I look forward to, it gets cancelled. Second Chance is one of the better shows that I have seen in years. Fox has a keeper here, if you have the ability to understand. Actually I am disgusted that you would even think about cancelling it!
I enjoy this show. this interest me because I went thru a stem cell transplant and enjoy the problems this man is going thru. Great concept keep it going.
Please do not cancel Second Chance. Great show!
No don’t cancel it I just found it …. very good concept can go in many directions now that .the season finale took place and left it where it did
Please give us a break & bring back Second Chance as it is our favorite show.
Of course all the great shows get canceled. My husband and I love this show. It used to be that a show was given the chance of at least one whole season. Give the audience a chance to catch on and the story to build.. Now, I think the big wigs at the network make the decision to cancel after X amount of shows before it even airs. Please give these shows a chance. A “second chance”. Instead they put on crap.
Please don’t cancel this show. One of our favorite new shows.
Love this show please dont cancell it please !!!!!!!!
Aww come on!! Granted it had a challenging time slot but for those of us with satellite DVR we still love the opportunity to save it and watch it over and over again. It had very good potential to expand and confront different challenges. Now that his grand daughter is part of it she can be a new younger heroine!! #Save the Pritchard!!!
Love 2nd chance! Don’t cancel! Please
Please please do NOT cancel Second Chance. Love this series especially Mary Goodwin and Sheriff Prichard. Must see how Otto comes back to the show. Would be fantastic if somehow Otto’s death was faked, that Otto is actually Alice physically . Looking forward to more episodes !
Otto should’nt have died. He did his role very well.
Please give it a chance. Like is only second to Empire. But it needs time to gain momentum.
Great show! Need to renew!
