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 love the show can’t wait until the next one comes on.
I’d be sad if they didn’t show any more
do you know if its out on dvd
Please bring this show bck…. I loved it… why do they cancel all the good 1’s… get rid of the reality shows….
I absolutely love, Chase, Annie is so real and I wish they would keep the show running, It would be a pitty. Remember, City of Angels, it was great and it was cut too.
Please bring Chase back!! There is so much crap on tv and this is a good show!!! I’m tired of all the reality tv and a good show is hard to find!! Why is it that The Housewives of what ever city get multiple seasons and good shows get canceled??? I’m fed up!!’
I am soooo mad, this was an awseome show. The team fit so well. They always do this to the good shows.
I am very disappointed that this show is not on the air. I continue to look for it every week. This was a very well written and performed show. This gives girls hope and promise in showing that women can be strong. Ann is a great role model to young girls everywhere. I have noticed other new shows on other networks with strong women in the lead. Please bring back Chase. The girl who plays Ann is excellent and very believable in her character.
this is one of the most intense shows i have seen. every week im hanging on the edge of my seat. besides ‘trauma’ that was cancelled. i really enjoy this show.
Bring this show back!!!!! To me it was one of the best I’ve seen in awhile, NBC you canceled a good show then put on a stupid show!! BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!
loved the show. Our whole family did, including our 20 year old daughter. Refreshing.
I thought it was great. I cannot understand way NBC would cancel it. I really looked forward to seeing it. Hope it will return. I thought it was great acting. The girl who played Anne Frost was excellent.
My favorite show. Please bring it back. Better than any other show on the air
Really like the show, hope they at least air the remaining episodes.
This was a good show. I hooked everyone at work. It is better than all of the reallity shows. I really hope they bring it back.
Love this show! Has great characters and great stories! Please somebody pick it up (doesn’t have to be NBC…we’ll watch it anywhere!)..SO over reality shows
Please bring this show back. I was an exciting show and one of the best new shows on NBC last season. I stories were compelling and exciting.
