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?

Pleae kepp the show. One of the best. My college-age daughter and I watch the show together. Only one on about US Marshalls. Find a better time slot than agaisnt American Idol. Give it another season. If not, playt he 19-22 on the web.
Love, love, love the show. My daughter, home from college, loved the show. I had taped all the fall shows and we watched one after another. Please keep the show. Love all the casting, especially Kelli Giddish. Her raspy, natural, go-get-em character is real and organic. Supporting cast is great as well. Please keep the show. So few new shows that are innovative. Never had one about US Marshalls. Give it one more seson and move it from American Idol slot. Almost dooming it by its placement. I will of course watch both but give the show a chance. And… Read more »
They want to put it up against American Idol?
While I wouldn’t cry if they canceled Chase, I do like it and would rather watch it than Idol any day. However, Idol is huge and if they put Chase in the same time slot it will be doomed for sure. The “smart” network executives, will (as always) assume the ratings dropped because no one likes the show. I call this “rectal cranium syndrom” and it seems many network execs have this condition these days.
Chase was suppose to be on Wed. Jan. 12th, but was not in my area. Why?
@Demented: It’s been delayed another week.
Thanks.
CHASE SHOULD MOVE TO TNT . YOU HAVE LEVERAGE AND RIZZOLI AND ISLES
IT WOULD BE A BETTER FIT ON THAT NETWORK
I could not wait for this show to begin. I love it; I super love it! It’s my number one show to watch. From the first episode, I knew it would probably get axed. It’s the best show since the two seasoner, “LIFE”. Another NBC wonder program. At least it lasted a little while. NBC offers good concepts a great writers… Oh, well. 🙂
I liked the show but NBC has signed it’s death warrant.
Bye Bye Annie.
I hope they don’t cancel the show. I’m sick of comedy based on stupidity & reality shows based on anything but reality.
Great show.. Love the action. Hope it continues.
I started watching this show probably in Nov. and I really like it. I hope they don’t cancel it. Cancel some of these stupid reality show instead. That’s what they need to get rid of. I agree with Kathy who says America is dumbing down with reality shows.
PLEASE don’t cancel this show. This is the only new show that I actually watch faithfully. Everytime I find a show that I actually like, something happens. Who are the people who make these decisions anyhow? Enough of the crap on TV, keep the good ones!
i love it
When will they $hit can this horrible show and let Giddish return to acting school so he can get a clue about how to act?
I love the show. Fast action and good script. Sorry if it is cancelled. Some of the silly stuff they have on tv does not compare.
Don’t cancel Chase!
The best show on TV!
Love the action and characters in Chase. Have watched it from the beginning and hope that NBC will renew. I typically don’t watch NBC and hate reality shows, Idol and all the rest of those. No one I know likes these types of shows and we are always looking for a new show, good scripts and good acting….Chase has all the right elements. Please don’t cancel this show. America is dumbing down with all the reality shows.
