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?
I think that they should renew second chance. It’s more intelligent and interesting than most of fox shows.
This show is awesome! Why would they cancel one of the best, and interesting shows on TV right now? Well, hopefully if it does get cancelled they’ll move it to Netflix or Hulu. That way we can see where this story goes.
Love this show, please please please don’t cancel it!!! Awesome show!
Love second chance, hope it doesnt get canceled.
I love this show ..
Please don’t cancel “Second Chance”. It has good actors, appeals somewhat to the tech geeks, interesting story lines. Give it time to develop the characters a bit more. As for the time switch with Hell’s Kitchen, I watch Second Chance on Hulu so it doesn’t bother me one way or the other, but I don’t understand how anyone can watch the obnoxious Chef Ramsey in anything.
I truly love this show. It’s fresh, it’s different. It has reach a point in the story line that is very intriguing. We look forward to it every week . PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW ALIVE!!!!
I look forward to this show each week. It’s a great change from what has become normal to watch (vulgar language, nudity, sex,….etc. It’s a REFRESHINGLY clean show — I really want to watch more seasons of this show!!!!
Please DO NOT CANCEL!
This is a great show, networks don’t give shows enough time to develop. Give it another season!!!
Don’t cancel Second Chance
I love the show second chance! It hooked me! I am so sad they are cancelling it! I wish they would extend it!
It is a shame that just when people are starting to get into the show they are talking about cancelling it. Perhaps the move to Friday nights had something to do with it. This is a night when many people go out, go to a movie & a dinner. I hope they don’t cancel it. Give it a chance as people get into the characters and plot, especially now that he and Mary share feelings & he might be in a position to tell the rest of his family. Please, please don’t cancel it!!!!!
Please renew second chance! It’s getting hotter!!
Second chance should not be cancelled once the plot developed it is a must watch for me and the wife!
I believe this show needs a second chance ahaha pun intended. I don’t think people are really giving it a chance really just after two-three months? It needs to be renewed it is the only show i can actually rewatch because i like yo believe there will be more to it.
