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?
I love this show. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled!! I’m 30 and my husband is 35. We think this show is genius. Please don’t cancel it!
I love the show, Dilshad Vadsaria (Mary) is the Boss, would you boys work for her?
I like Second Chance. I think it is unique. Not a lot of that these days. I am 55 though.
Absolutely LOVE this show….Not very many shows on TV these days that a family could sit down & watch together but this one is!! Please keep it going & don’t cancel it…!!
Me & my husband love this show !! We are 43 & 42 yrs old .. PLZ DON’T cut the show
I am enjoying it as well. Rob Kazinsky plays his part very well. Sadly, though, Fox has had not commitment to this show since before it aired. Just the fact that they changed the name from its original name “Frankenstein Code” to “Lookingglass” to “Second Chance” shows they were not sure about it from the start. Then moving it to Friday nights, where shows go to die. I get the feeling this show was aired as a favor or by mistake. Either way, I’ll continue to watch it while it’s on, but won’t get attached to the characters.
Good series -very interesting – look forward to more
Love this show… All of my extended family watches as well. Give Second Chance a 2nd chance! Please, DO NOT CANCEL! Finally a show I’m not afraid to let my kids watch.
Have been “stalking” the show since before the name change. Hope they dont shoot them selves in the foot like they did with Firefly. Great shows with bad time slots die like bad shows with good time slots. Maybe it would do better on Netflix where people watch TV for quality?
I like this show so much I had to google why it wasnt showing on wednesdays anymore. So now I know its fridays. I love this show. Wish they would promote the time and day change. Give it a chance. Geeezzx
I know, it took a while for me to find it. The previews kept saying wednesdays….why put out a show and make the viewers FIND it? Put a little marketing behind it and people will watch
I like second chanc and would miss it.
So far I don’t have any complaints. Fun to watch. Hopefully the DVR numbers save it. I hope it stays
Second chance is one of the top three shows on television right now. So sad they are shuffling it like this.
Love this show. Good plot and great characters Unfortunately, every time FOX has a new, original show worth developing, it shuffles time slots. Fans don’t know when the show will air, ratings go down because of this … and then FOX justifies cancellation because of low ratings. Another CRAP reality show, anyone?
Like the show. Hope it isn’t cancelled.
Think its a good show love to characters hope it stays on the air
