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?

I dont understand why Daisey had to shoot the teacher for molelesting her and her neice. She could have put him away with the help of the team instead of shooting him. Did they do this because the show is canceled because I liked her playing with Annie they were the only kick-butt women on TV. We will miss Daisey and The Chase Show.
This Show should not be Canceled.
Please keep Chuck don’t even consider canceling it
Please! Please! Do not cancel this show!! I have loved that new episodes have aired and I want to see more developed in the storyline between Boots and Jimmy! I just know he’s not going to marry that other woman! I love love love this show!!! Let’s save it!
please DO NOT cancil chase
I really hope they keep chase. I love the fact that on Sat. I have something to watch but I also love the fact that it is on on demand
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL the show CHASE. It is an amazing show. We love the storylines , the characters…especially “Boots” Annie, who is terrific to watch as she is such a strong woman character. She can really run after a suspect..excellent. We like it in the time slot on Sat eve. We would watch it anytime on anyday!! NBC needs to give it more of a chance. The network moved the times around..they can really mess up a series show, and lose viewers that way. Thank goodness we have it on DVR and it found the show no matter where… Read more »
It is a great show and nowadays they don’t give these shows enough time to catch on. They were gonna cancel Seinfield after seven shows because of ratings. Think of how much they would have lost out if they had done that. Really love the show and hope it returns. Stupid executives.
I hadn’t seen the show in weeks and when I finally do see it, DAISY kills a child molester, and I am like ****. So now what happens to DAISY? I hope the writers can find a way to exohorate her, that would be daring and bold.
I do not have the chance to watch a lot of TV; however, Chase was at least a moderately entertaining show – not quite up to the level of the Good Wife and Chicago Code, but good. The problem with watching TV; especially, for people like me with busy schedules (which I imagine is true for most people), is that it is almost impossible to keep up with when shows are airing (especially, new episodes). It is as if the networks expect you to just know. In my view it is the networks killing shows by moving them too early… Read more »
I love the show (chase) story lines are good, actors are good.
I dont understand why how information is obtained on watching tv shows as my household has never been asked.
Please keep the show on!!!! (I hate reality shows and do not watch them especially when they are replacing my good tv shows.
I love chase, however i never help any shows when it comes to ratings. I only watch shows offered on demand. I love that it is back.
i love chase and i did not know that it was moved to Wednesday and when i finally found out and try to watch it and it could never found it on any days, now whem i look online i found out that it has been cancel, i really hope they bring it back
Most certainly a BIG MISTAKE to cancel this show!!!!!!!! I feel like they keep making all these shotgun decisions with great shows, and its really annoying. If they don’t already, NBC (and all other networks) needs to start counting online viewing of TV shows in the ratings because I know lots of college students who don’t have time to watch the show when it airs. Its totally unfair that fans of the show have to lose yet another program because their personal lives take a priority to catching up on missed TV. I know my sister and I will definitely… Read more »
Hated to see Daisy leave but understand her reasonings.
Just don’t let the rest of the crew leave.
I love this show it jerry bruckhimer he is awsome please let’s fight for this show it gets better and better it just needs a little advertising it start of slow but I love it now it took a couple of shows to hook me byt I’m hooked
The Saturday time slot is a good thing. On Mondays it went against Hawaii 5 0 which would get a lot of viewers from sentiment about the original series. On Wednesdays @ 9 American Idol is still on. Tuesday would be a good day, also, as there isn’t anything worth watching in any of the time slots. To give a good show a chance, it would be a great boost to put it on Tues or Sat.
