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 was one of the best shows on TV and certainly better than any other show on NBC. Please bring the show back.
Chase was such a great show. I loved all the characters. It was the first series I have liked in a while!!! NBC PLEASE BRING CHASE BACK!!!!
Chase was a great show with a lot of diversity. NBC
should move it to the USA network and get rid of
In Plain Sight.
Casting was great for this show. I wish the actors good luck. They were talented, attractive and worked well together. It’s too bad it was cancelled. It shouldn’t have been
I was wondering why I can’t find my favorite show. I can’t believe it was cancelled. NBC sucks. That show would be a hit on any other network.
