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.

What do you think? Do you like the Second Chance TV show? Will you follow it to Fridays? Should Second Chance be cancelled?
Please do not cancel the show. I loved every single episode and the cast. It has a very interesting plot that as gotten me completely hooked! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Give Second Chance the ability to build a viewership. Let the viewers find the show.
Very special and unique. Nice breath of fresh air, very interesting and creative. Tired of all the shows that just follow the pack. Looking forward to a second season.
Please don’t cancel Second Chance. There are so many possibilities. The Sheriff needs to be with his family & fight crime with his son. I didn’t like how the first season ended, but there’s hope for the future! Let the show do what it does best, bringing together a father & son who got a second chance!
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BY ANY MEANS CANCEL SECOND CHANCE. LOVE THE SHOW.
Please keep this show on the air! The premise is so original and the characters are so wonderful. Love syfy but hate all the bloody violence and sex, this has a glimmer of both, but the main thrust is the interaction between the characters and the great plot lines.
Love the show. But like millions of other Americans, I am a Hulu watcher. I use the cheaper version of Hulu which includes commercials. Instead of canceling, it should be picked up by Syfy or as an online original series. Transhumanism is a very new age sci-fi topic that could gain popularity. The Johnny Depp “Transcendence” movie also had some difficulty getting off the ground. That is where this series is going with the computer genius character “Otto” now having uploaded himself to the “Arthur” matrix. This whole thing could get really get good Since Hulu watchers don’t care about… Read more »
Keep it
Don’t cancel great show
I think that Second Chance will dont have a Second Chance
Please, Please, Please don’t cancel Second Chance. I love this show. Thanks
My wife & I have thoroughly enjoyed Second chance, no matter what nite it airs! Pls reconsider & give this show a “second chance” as there’s very little we enjoy on TV these days. However, this was 1 show that hooked us from the start. Anxious for more …
Don’t cancel
Please don’t cancel the show! I’ve watched every single episode, and I’m wanting to watch more! I love these cast of characters!
I thoroughly enjoy Second Chance. Intriguing concept; a Syfy that even the young can watch without being exposed to all the sexual trash that is flooding the networks.
