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 really enjoy this show! Please don’t cancel it!!!
DONT cancelled Chase best show ever!!!!!
I think “Chase” is a great show. Much more entertaining than many other types of that calibrator. It is engaging and very realistic. It has heart but gets the job done no matter what. I would want that kind of action being displayed in real life if I were in danger.
I think the common look of the actors might be there downfall but not for me. I find it very interesting to know how u.s. marshals operate whether truthful or not. I will be very dissapointed if this show is cancelled.
i love this show. i am extremely upset that it isnt on. The only reason we watch minite to win it is because we expevted Chase. My husband also like this show and he isnt into TV at all. I csnt stand that I get into these shows & the networks just stop airing them.
Great to see chase again , it’s action packed, I look forward to seeing it on a regular basis again.

Great cop show. Bring it back, please.
i think you should keep it on,it’s a very good show,and yes i’ll miss it
So great to see chase again. Why would you put that silly show on in its place. Its a great action show. As far as your ratings, they hardly fair. You really can not tell what the people are really watching. I am really tired of the brainless reality shows.
My whole family is sick they took chase off. Best cop show in a long time. It had action from start to finish. Not just alot of talking. NBC is Nut’s.
Thank you NBC for bringing back Chase, I started to watch it Saturday and I love it.
Absolutely, bar none, Chase is the most pathetically written and un-entertaining show I’ve ever wastched. Giddish can’t act, the character development is non existent, and the plots are weak. NBC could broadcast dead air in Chase’s time slot and it would be more entertaining and get better ratings. Good riddance.
Chase is a great show. Action-packed and purposeful. Some of the criticism levied against it appear ridiculous to me. It’s a cop action drama, and as such should not be compared to the ridiculously improbable Grey’s Anatomy, which manages to pull in insane threads every week without any of its viewer base comparing it to reality. Chase is pure entertainment, and actually serves our need to feel justice and just desserts for bad people. I don’t watch it to analyze Shakespearean constructs. I watch it to be entertained, and it does exactly that. The two leads are great in their… Read more »
