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?
Stop cancelling tv shows all the time, who wants to keep watching shows , get interested for a second & then cancelled, I am growing tired of this , then you keep the stupid shows I wouldnt watch, get your **** together
If Jim my Pritchard is going to be a bad guy being chased by Mary Goodwin and his son, DuVall, I don’t care to watch anymore. We have loved the show up til now but want to follow show if Jimmy is the good guy helping to make this F’ed up world a better place. Love, love love Mary Goodwin.
Aw man FOX – not again?!?!!! I beg you, please don’t cancel Second Chance! It hasn’t even had a chance to mature into all that it can’t help but become, “A Excellent Sci-Fi Drama” with a believable storyline. Or at least where Sci-Fi shows go. Move it to either Monday nights or leave it on Friday nights so that it may have a fighting chance to get the exposure so that this awesome show deserves! Nowadays, most people DVR their shows or watch via HULU(like myself) back to back. I’m hooked and am praying that FOX listens to their viewers… Read more »
Please don’t pull Second Chance!! My wife and I DVR it due to work and kids, but we love the show when we have time together.
If you have any pull with FOX please tell them not to cancel Second Chance! I hate when networks do crap like that when there are actually viewers out there who would miss a show, just like Terra Nova…
Please don’t cancel! We just found it on hulu..you we didn’t even know it was on fox!! It is a good show and has alot of potental
I love Second Chance! Please don’t cancel!
I am so hooked on Second Chance! I really do not want it cancelled…Ive only just found it on Hulu. They could try more advertisement of it if theyve just gotta do something; but cutting it should be the very last thing they do! People are now watching tv on their own terms so they have to give those of us whom are into streaming a chance to find it and get hooked as I did. They should not cancel this show; I’m very much so anticipating a season 2! Im tired of these networks getting viewers hooked to shows… Read more »
I’m hooked on this show. Please give second chance a second chance! I really love it!
Please please please don’t cancel Second Chance!!! My husband & I can’t wait for Friday night to sit and watch this program together. We don’t agree on most shows but this is a HIT in our family. We tell everyone they should watch and most DO. My kids record it since their lives are busy but they WATCH it! Please keep this going.
Please don’t cancel 2nd Chance we really like the show!! It is well written & great acting. The story line kept us coming back to see what’s next!! We looked forward to watching every Friday and hope to still be able to!
We look forward to watching Second Chance on Friday nights. Please don’t cancel this show
My husband and I both LOVE this show. It is the only show that we both watch together and can’t wait for the next episode. PLEASE don’t cancel !!
I liked second chance. In fact looking up if there was another season is how I found this. I don’t watch shows on cable and personally I don’t think producers should judge a show off people who do either. Most people that watch cable are either too young to care to leave comments or never think to. Most people who wanna comment are critics of everything. Boring people who I never wanna meet. I watch shows on Hulu and Netflix and this show was very interesting and I want more. It got an 8.5 on IMBD. You know how many… Read more »
Im with u Justin; its like they dont take into account the people watching thru streaming and I dont see how or why when thats the new way of watching tv. No one is really watching the show on the actual network; theyre streaming it on HULU as we all do these days! Theyd better wake up before they have to cancel all network tv altogether! One must account for the streaming generation of television watchers before its too late! I really hope they dont cancel Second Chance cuz if so, itd be a pretty dumb move!
I love this show as does my family. We would watch any night it is on.
