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 cant believe the network is not bringing Chase back! I never missed an episode and my boyfriend liked it as well. Why do all the good shows get cancelled and we are left with numerous Law and Orders and CSIs. Doesnt anybody want to check out something new? It was awesome too bad people want to see the same old shows in different cities..
Excellent show – bring it back
I thougt it was a great show. I recorded and watched each episode. Please bring the show back.
I watched it without fail! It’s a great show.
figures all the general public wants are these over done reality shows,or those way over done fashion,cooking,shows all with the same characters,same plots,same type of judges,all having the same format,seriously people you watch tv to escape the everyday stress of real life,not to watch people act like morons,and get paid for doing it,you can ee that everyday walking down the street,what happened to good sitcoms,good movies,real acting,no wonder our country is drowning in debt,violence is growing,and more and more people are becoming dependent
great series please bring it back!!!
I liked the show except you can’t have a lone wolf type in a team concept. Some of the other guys should be more involved and not for brawn…I think it should be kept and take out the slow country talking portion.
We didn’t know The Event had been cancelled and were hoping it would be coming on in the fall. I loved it and looked forward to how it would play out. It seems all of my favorite shows are dropped. Not enough sex for the general public I guess. I like really good science fiction and do not have cable.
I have to say I watched it withoiut fail! I loved them show. I did have to record it to watch it, but it’s great! I have been waiting to see it come out again. SO I did some checking and found this sadly! I think maybe changing the day to maybe friday when they don’t have many new shows on. I really loved this show! Please bring it back!
Another implausible lady cop show ,who’s as tough as the toughest guy, but with a sexy side. The worst part was her back story, and character, was completely stolen from “With Out a Trace”! Even down to the leads father as a run away criminal who’s adored by the daughter. Pathetic! Good riddens
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEE THIS SHOWW!!! I will miss this show for sure!!! i think they should at least air the the episodes that they have made so far!
