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?

My husband and I love this show and so does my 11 year old son. Please bring it back!!
The ratings were low because u put it up against Criminal Minds..a show that is excellent and has been on for years..put this show up against shows at 8 on any channel and u have a winning show. NBC sucks and doesn’t know how to run a network..they r the lowest rated network for a reason..they pull good shows and replace them with repeats…idiots.
I loved this show and the characters!!! Good plot, good acting, and lots of action without all the blood and gore murders!!!!!! Bring it back please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
I guess NBC needed room for more “Reality” shows.
Although “Chase” was your typical good guy-bad guy show, I enjoyed watching it.
