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?

This show is so over the top….must have been a feminist writer who developed this show…it is sooooo unrealistic that it’s comical. Each episode features a cold blooded killer, male or female, who thinks nothing of killing at the drop of a hat, yet when Annie confronts the killer, they all of sudden forget they like to kill and she captures them when in fact she would have been killed several times each show.
I do not watch any reality or game shows on any networks. Dramas and movies are my favorite form of TV entertainment. I like Chase. Keep it alive and let it develop.
A lot better story line than Castle. Kelli Giddish is super
sexy – it’s in her eyes. Hope the series survives. I’ll be
watching.
Please don’t cancel Chase, it is a great show. But if NBC does cancel it, should we really be surprised? NBC has a habit of cancelling shows without giving them a chance (Southland) and keeping horrible ones.
Doesn’t suprise me one bit! No wonder NBC is last on my wanna watch network. Thought they were getting the idea right when they put Chase on. I guess they were so successful last year with all the game shows they decided to be last in all the ratings year round.
love this show
One of the better shows on right now. Not all of us are in to those reality tv shows and I appreciate having some options. The acting is good, the action is great and you have a nice diverse bunch of characters. Figure out a better night and time slot and give it a chance. PLEASE DON’T CANCEl CHASE. Thanks so much.
This is one of the best new shows for 2010 — PLEASE do not cancel it!!!!
I LOVE this show…please don’t cancel, agree move it to Saturday night.
Love, Texas
I think chase is a good show.If put on a friday or saturday night i bet you would get great ratings .I dont think there is a good program on any of these nights
I really like this show, Chase. It hasn’t been given a fair chance being put up against Hawaii Five O and now you mean they’re going to move to be put up against the #1 show in America…..American Idol. Seriously? Well that is really sad because this show is NOT being given a fair chance and I think it’s a great show that deserves better than this. How very unfair to the creator and cast and us viewers. Big jeers =(
God, put this pathetic, miserable excuse for a show out of its misery now. Horrible waste of time, money, energy and electricity. How did Giddish get a job…casting couch?
chase is a refreshing change from the other cop shows, hawaii five -o is a really stupid verision of the old hawaii five-o show. i hope they don,t cancel chase, i’ll have to go back to watching vidieos
NBC should have never put it up against 5o from the start. That show had so much promo from the start it only had to live up to the hype, and it did. So Chase was dead out the gate. Friday at 10 would have been best with L&O LA as a lead in. NBC could have played it more on Saturday too other than the one time it did. It’s a good action show, it just needs to build an audience that isn’t hooked on already hit shows or shows like 5o that anyone could see hit with their… Read more »
We really like this show. Good characters, excellent acting. Love the gal & the blind guy best. We record all tv, so hope they count ours as a viewer vote.
