Second Chances is an American television series created and written by producers Bernard Lechowick and Lynn Marie Latham. The series premiered December 2, 1993, on CBS. Its cast includes Jennifer Lopez, Connie Sellecca, Megan Follows, Michelle Phillips, and Matt Salinger. The two hour pilot episode was directed by Sharron Miller.
The series last episode ran on February 10, 1994 as part of CBS's Crimetime After Primetime.
This show marked a reunion, however short-lived, between actors Ronny Cox and Frances Lee McCain, who last worked together on the series Apple's Way in the mid-1970s.
Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly rated the pilot episode a C- say that it "relies on too many verbal cliches and pat coincidences to promise much in the way of engrossing escapism".[1] Tony Scott of Variety stated that the series "needs more riveting material" as the pilot episode "suffers from blatant, uninvolving characters, low-caliber plotting and subcommercial appeal".[2]
