Second Chance Post #6

This week, Second Chance saw the lowest total audience numbers of the season pulling in only 1.78 million viewers. Compare that with 4.71 million viewers for its premiere, and it’s easy to see that Second Chance probably won’t get one. This week, it was up against Dateline, Shark Tank, and Hawaii Five-0, all perennially successful shows which each pulled in a rating greater than 1 in the 18-49 demographic. It’s definitely interesting to note that Second Chance lost over a million viewers from its lead in, Sleepy Hollow, which pulled in 2.96 million viewers and held a 0.8 rating in the demo.

FOX still hasn’t released any information about whether or not the show will continue past this season. With it doing so poorly in its Friday timeslot, it would certainly seem unlikely that it will be renewed. Perhaps this was merely a “down” week for the show, but continuing to drop in ratings nearly every week since its premiere is never a good omen.
