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 the only reason I even watched NBC .So with it gone I guess it is CBS from now on. It was the only good show NBC had.
I loved this show. It was much better than many others NBC keeps bringing back.
Please bring Chase back. If there already have the episodes on the shelf they might as well show them. They could even change the season and put it on during the summer months just to see how it would do.
Please bring it back my family and I love watching it
I loved watching this show. I hate to see it go. Like everyone else I believe it will be replaced with another reality show, which I dont watch, could have focused on all the characters and not primarily on Annie and making her so tough as far as taking on big guys.
I enjoyed the show. The threat of cancelling it is DUMB!!! The show obviously needs better PR personnel. Idea 1: promote it as a woman in man’s world doing a good job.
Idea 2: why not have some actual marshals do a cameo.
Idea 3: make situations more believable!
Questions? My email is listed above!
BRING BACK CHASE!!!!
p.s. I also enjoyed the Jimmy Smit’s series that you cancelled.
Why is the network no. 3? –sometimes its good to go with the viewers, and stop all this reality—because tv reality is still tv fantasy.
I cannot believe they cancelled this show and then replaced it with Minute to Win It!! That show is not even worth watching.. My husband and I watched Chase every time it came on!! Please BRING BACK CHASE!!!!! We were excited when it came back on only to have it end without a full season!
I’ve been scratching my brain furiously. Does anyone know the answer to what the last song of the series finale of Chase was, something along the lines of ‘I won’t let you get away, no I won’t…”
Please help. I’m dying here. Thanks

Thank you so much.
I really enjoy the tv show chase. It seemed to me as if the show was headed in a pretty good direction. I was looking forward to seeing where things were going with each new plot.
Chase was a good show, it moved around in different time slots, so never knew when it was playing. The network never gave it a good chance. One thing I would change about the show is its attitude. The attitude is very serious; levity may help the series.
It is sad that a show with an interesting plot and a good story line gets bumped for a show that you do not have to use your brain to figure out anything. That is why society has a whole is going brain dead from useless tv programs. Who cares who wins money or not give me good tv writing any day.
Love Chase and I hope they will air the remaining shows and some other network picks them up. NBC doesn’t really have a great record of being able to judge what people like, Medium was a perfect example.
I am disappointed Chase was cancelled, there’s no sense to what they air, I suppose they will replace it with some low-budget, mindless reality show.
I was disappointed when I went to look for it on Saturday and several saturdays after that to only find out it got canceled. At least show the last five episodes.
please let this show continued. every show that i really like is axed-china beach, and others i now can’t remember. continue this show!!
Please. Bring chase back. It is a great show. Better. Than Hawaii five o
My husband & I loved this show & could not wait until it came back on, then it did & went back off, It seems when a good show comes on, they switch it around, so no body knows it was back on, I spread the word, we do hope you will put it back on the september. My family like it as well,
thanks Betty
