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:

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.

What do you think? Do you like the Second Chance TV show? Will you follow it to Fridays? Should Second Chance be cancelled?
The star portrays his character well without being cantankerous. There are so many cases that can still be solved. Please don’t cancel this show
Please leave this show on….Great cast….Great idea….Everyone not naked, not that is a problem, but it gets boring when EVERY SHOW is jumping onto bed or should I say throwing each other on tables and up against the walls breathing ever so heavily….Each show has a completely different problem to get through and fabulous techno

I love Second Chance!!! I love the concept, I love the characters, I love the show. PLEASE renew Second Chance!!!
There is a genre of people that like good plot driven science fiction. The problem with Network TV is they do not care for this group. Television is so full of dead end, fake reality shows because the are cheap to produce and a pitiful amount of the public is just clueless enough to watch that garbage. I love the show, it should have been on Netflix or Hulu, or Amazon, I have zero confidence in the network bobble heads to recognize a good show. I have not idea how they choose who gets a Nielsen box, but obviously they… Read more »
Please do not cancel the show… the three of us, husband, son & I, always waiting to watch every week ….& we really really love this second chance
Second Chance is a really good show. My husband and I look forward to watching every week. There was nothing on TV to watch except for Blue Bloods on Friday nights; Second Chance is a welcome addition.
This has been an enjoyable show. It’s well paced, decent acting, and great soundtrack all add up to a show that the viewer realizes takes hard work and dedication to make. I’m rooting for a 2nd season, and keep the time slot as is.
this is a really really good show. i watch very little tv but this show has really grabbed my attention. my husband and i will be very disappointed if cancelled. hope it stays on!
Fox is like death sentence to any good show . That’s why I am cautious about investing my time in any new show they air . Give a show time to gain a following .
Second chance it’s such a great show and the network needs to give these shows a chance
Please dont cancel SECOND CHANCE . Lets give it more time.
My husband and I enjoy this excellent captivating new show more than any other. Please please don’t cancel Second Chance!!! I hate investing time in new shows because they are cancelled without giving them a real chance. Second Chance deserves a second chance (season)!!!!
This is the show my friends and family talk about over dinner more than any other show in YEARS!!!!!! Please, please, please don’t cancel this one. We LOVE it!!!!!
