NBC has decided to pre-empt Chase once again but this time it’s looking a lot more permanent. The network has put the TV series on hiatus and replaced it with episodes of Minute to Win It. Though the network has not officially cancelled Chase, there’s certainly no compelling reason for NBC to bring it back.
Back in September, Chase debuted to mediocre ratings and things went quickly downhill from there. On Monday nights, Chase averaged just a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and a meager 5.44 million viewers. When the series moved to Wednesday nights for the new year, the ratings only got worse. It’s currently the lowest-rated scripted series on the network.
NBC pre-empted Chase this week and replaced it with a double dose of Minute to Win It. That move paid off with the game show literally doubling the demo performance of Chase’s last original episode. Not surprisingly, NBC has now bumped the remaining episodes of Chase from the schedule.
The peacock network had given the show a full season order back in October but by December had trimmed that back from 22 to 18 installments. There are currently five unaired episodes of Chase on the shelf and there’s no word from NBC on when or if they’ll ever be aired.
What do you think? Will you miss Chase? Why do you think it didn’t catch on?

Chase is a good show really worth watching i have been missing it not being on . You need to not cancel it . It is one of the few shows i like to watch . I record every show so i dont miss it. Please dont cancel it.
I very disappointed the show is AWESOME!!!!! Its the BEST show to watch, live, action, fearless Annie Frost and her team (real). Bring the show back!!!! We LOVE action. My co-workers and friends were clueless of the show until I mention theis Great show. Annie, Annie, Annie, Annie, etc.
I am sorry that they are canceling Chase my husband and myself looked forward watching it every week and we are very disappointed that it is not on each week. I do wish that they would put it back on.
LOVE, lOVE, LOVE IT!
One of the few shoe my husband and I watch together!!!!!
NBC canceled Southland and then TNT brought it back. Now it is one of the best and most watched shows on tv. Do the same to Chase, give it to TNT or one of their other networks. Yes it got off to a rocky start, but it was starting to develop.
How typical to replace a quality show with yet another reality show….bring it back, lots of us miss this show!
I miss this show! I liked it better than any other show aired. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee air the last two episodes. Or at least put the shows on dvd for people to purchase. Thanks
Come on NBC, again canceling a great show as Chase. Night time game shows aren’t that interesting. At least air the last 5 episodes.
I am rewatching all the episodes of Chase because there isn’t anything worth watching. I am so very glad I saved the entire season on my DVR so that I can enjoy my own reruns. Shame on you NBC – you blew it again.
I can’t believe NBC did not promote this show more. Many of my friends did not know about it and when they found out they loved it like we did. NBC needs to promote their shows to give the people a chance to see it. This is one of the best shows it has produced in a long time.
I love the show! My husband and I both really miss it. We taped it to watch on evenings that didn’t have anything worth watching. We go to bed early, by 9 o’clock, as we both have jobs that start at 6am. I hope they bring it back.
network tv has done it once again thay take agreat show off and replace it with garbage
I am very sad and upset that they aren’t showing Chase anymore… They need to bring it back and just try a different night… My husband’s friend is in the next one that they won’t show and I really want to see it!!! I did see preview before they decided to pull it and it look really good…. maybe one of these days
I really hate that NBC would cancel Chase. I would like it to continue. It is only one of the few shows I watch all week. Monday – Wed are the only 3 days I watch shows. I really hate to see it go.
annie frost is an inspiration to women.how lame is that comment.tight jeans and boots ,thats real.easy on the eyes,smart,thats real.damn good show for a change,thats real.something that sparked a fan favorite,thats real.
