The network giveth and the network taketh away.
Even though the Chase series performed poorly right from the start, NBC gave the TV show a full season order of 22 episodes. Now, the peacock network has trimmed back that order to just 18 installments.
On the positive side, NBC is moving Chase out of the Mondays at 10pm timeslot. It’ll no longer have to battle against Castle and the new Hawaii Five-0. Unfortunately, beginning January 12th, it’ll be airing in a far more competitive timeslot. Chase is moving to Wednesdays at 9pm where it’ll do battle with American Idol.
The most recent episode of Chase garnered a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.03 million total viewers. That’s the second significant increase in two weeks but the series is still doing terribly and is consistently in a distant third place for the timeslot.
Chase has averaged a 1.6 rating for the season, just slightly better than now-cancelled Undercovers. Unless there’s a significant turnaround, it’s pretty clear that Chase will be cancelled at the end of the season.
What do you think? Does Chase still have a chance to be renewed for season two or is it already doomed to be cancelled?

Keep this show. It is something my wife and I enjoy watching together. It is a show that reminds me of what my parents called the good old days. The days of the A-team, knight rider, SWAT etc.
Kelli Giddish is the best of the best, as she chases the “worst of the worst”.
We love the program, and is so different than many of the other programs on TV.
The actors are easier to understand than many of the actors in other programs. They seem to speak slower, and more distinct.
We would love to see the show continue.

This show is EXCELLENT. I believe it will make the American Idol ratings really go down. Every new show I like they seem to cancel. Get rid of the Realty Shows. They are all garbage.
I love this show. Finally something that has a woman as the lead investigator. She is fearless. Show is full of action. I will miss it terribly. Who watchs Idol anymore anyway. That show is a lame duck!
My husband and I both enjoy Chase, the plots are good and it’s fun to see the backgrounds of the characters and their relationships developing. Actors all good in their roles. Looking forward to watching Chase in January!
I love this show, and I hate reality shows, I think they are all really stupid… Has anyone noticed yet that cbs and nbc are really good at cancelling good shows for crap???. they have been doing it alot lately, I actually banned CBS from my t.v. now because they cancelled my last show, so I guess NBC will be next to be banned from my t.v. lol, these two stations always take away great shows for reality crap….
I like Chase. Why do they always put new shows up against American Idol? I don’t know if DVR time counts with the ratings….but I never remember what time and day shows are on…but I just tape them. Some I watch over and over again. I know I am not in the “important” marketing group. But my husband and I enjoy this show. It would be a shame. Another of our favorites is The Big Bang Theory….Noone watched that…and now—awards and everyone is talking about it. Who is making the decisions on what show to keep and what should go….all… Read more »
i really enjoy chase for some reason it was the only program that was interesting and fun
Chase is one of my favorite shows. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled, but it seems like everytime I watch a series that I really like, it does get cancelled. Another favorite series of mine is Undercovers and I heard it may be cancelled as well.
I hope they keep the program. I record all my favorites even if there is a conflict. I have not missed an episode
Me and mom absolutely love this show and actually she made research rather or not this show was being canceled since it hasnt been back in the new year, but now i know. I hope NBC well let the show stick around it really has its own identity and to be honest i like it way more than i like Hawaii 5-0 although both shows are pretty good.
I sure hope this show doesn’t get cut. My husband really likes it
I hope they don’t cut this show, I like it and it’s something different that the reality shows that everyone is producing these days. Aren’t people tired of watching someone dance, sing, or break their family apart.
well i really hope this series sticks around. it’s way better thanany reality show. (which are fake and way to much drama for anyone) all i can say is thank god for the dvr so i can record it . but i do watch it
I really enjoy this show. I have watched every episode since it started. I will be disappointed if it is cancelled. They leave on all that stupid reality crap and cut all the good shows. Aren’t people getting sick of the so called reality shows yet? There not reality if you want reality watch the “news”.
