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?

I really like this show. The star, Annie Frost, is a no-nonsense, multi-dimensional character that has really appealed to me. There is more to this show than meets the eye; the chemistry between certain characters is unmistakable and others, missing altogether. HOWEVER, this show works for a large number of people (many of whom I work with). Perhaps if the show were to develop characters as opposed to just chasing the bad guys, it might appeal to a broader audience. I agree that the opposition of more established shows on other channels has not helped this show. I FINALLY found… Read more »
Love watching Chase. I usually catch it On Demand, maybe that will change when they move it to the new time slot. Don’t care about watching Idol. Give Chase a chance.
Chase is one of the few shows we watch on network tv,we most often watch cable networks.Please don’t cancel this wonderful program.
I love this show, they keep cancelling all the good shows to put on more BS reallity tv, which isn’t even reallity. Keep this show and bring back undercovers love that show too.
DON’T CANCEL “CHASE”. I DON’T WATCH MUCH TV. THE ONLY SHOW I WATCHED WAS “24” IT WAS CANCELED. CHASE IS THE NEXT BEST THING TO “24” AND CHASE IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV NOW. IF YOU REMOVE “CHASE” TV WILL BE BORING AGAIN. I HAVE GOTTEN MY MOM AND A FEW OTHER YOUNG FRIENDS HOOKED. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL “CHASE”. IT IS A GREAT SHOW. EDGE OF YOUR SEAT DRAMA, ADRENALINE RUSH, NEVER A DULL SECOND ON THAT SHOW. AND ANNIE FROSY IS THE BEST FEMALE OUT THERE.
Please keep Chase on, we really enjoy it, alot. We do type it, because of our schedules. Love the show!
I can’t believe it. This is a GREAT show and I get tired of liking shows like Chase and then they are cancelled but the reality shows stay on and on and on. PLEASE don’t cancel this show. I love the stars and it is nice to see women excel for a change. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Why ask us at all? You will just CNX this awsome show anyway?
One of the best shows on TV; why are most of the good shows cancelled and more stupid reality shows are showing; I don’t get it!!!!
When will Season 1 Episode 12 be aired? The president pre-empted Chase last night.
@Kitty Munn: The show returns next Weds.
PLEASE do not take away this great tv show…one of the best out there I think…..I get tired of some of the old standbys that have been on forever……Chase gives a nice , new , refreshing piece of veiwing and has great storylines every week…….Thanks….
Please leave Chase on!!!!!!!!! I am so tired of Stations cancelling a show because it is not doing well at first. They never give it a chance. No they would rather out on Stupid Reality Shows instead. KEEP CHASE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love this show. But we watch it “on demand” so probably not reflected in ratings. With this option available the networks need to consider who is watching on demand rather than network airing
Pleae keep 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.
Pleae keep the show. LOve, love, love it. My daughter and I watch it together. If 19-22 don’t air on TV please put on web. Cable, pick up the series please if NBC drops!!!!
