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?

Please bring Chase back. I love that show. I want to see the last 5 episodes.
Been missing Chase….bring it back! Was my favorite show in quite some time
I was wondering where my show went. You can’t cancel this show. It is one of the best ones on right now!
I loved the show, I want it back!
Once again it looks like NBC jumps the gun and pulls another good show off the air. Life and Journeyman should’ve never been canceled but NBC just never seems to give a series a chance. Why doesn’t A&E take it over? They have many successful series and don’t jump the gun too early!
Come on this was the best show i have seen in along time….Compared too Hawaii 5 O AND THE EVENT , Those people cant even act on these shows.
WE LOVE CHASE BRING IT BACK
I just decided to google and see what’s going on with one of the best nbc shows and learned it was up for cancellation,1st southland now chase.
Please bring it back. It was a great show with alot of action. NBC if you are going to cancel any shows, why not your entire lineup on Thursday nights.
We love CHASE and I think they are making a huge mistake by cancelling it!
