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?

Just posted but wanted to mention that it is nice not to have a show with sex in it or have to sit through commercials about erections. Get with it NBC. Have had it with all the sex. People have either kids young and older and many of us have out parents living with us. More shows without sex please.
Not the least bit interested in American Idol. My family enjoys Chase and will be very disappointed if it is cancelled. In fact it is the only thing that we watch as a family on Wednesday nights. I record Modern Family to watch alone. If Chase isn’t on I guess we will turn off the TV and read.
iT IS A GREAT SHOW. IT HAS A GREAT LEADING LADY AND THAT JIMMY IS A SWEET HEART. PLEASE DON’T TAKE IT OFF THE AIR.
My husband and I really enjoy this show. Reality shows are not my thing and I prefer drama. Please keep this show on!!
I think Chase is a great cop show, I enjoy watching the show very much.
Please Nbc LISTEN to the viewers for once. DO NOT CANCEL CHASE!!!!!!!!! It is a GREAT show with great characters and great action. NBC would be stupid to pull it, if they do, maybe CBS or abc will pick it up!!!!!!!
Keep this show NBC. It is well written, acted, and keeps my attention. Reason it is doing bad is it’s competing with other shows, like Modern Family and Idol. Move it to another slot where other stations have nothing – NBC: Primtime (Thurs) or CSI (CBS – Thurs.). Then you’ll see a jump. Or hey, A&E, USA, or TBS… pick this up. Truth is USA – this Character IS wanted – for a while longer than NBC is willing to give.
Put it on another network, NBC cancels all good shows and keeps their crappy reality shows coming back. Chase is a GREAT show!!!
Put it on another station. Love this show!!!
I really like Chase. It is a great new show and I love the cast. Hopefully NBC will agree and choose to not cancel it.
love chase pleeeeeeeeeeeease dont cancel
Love Chase. NBC needs to promote it more and keep it in the lineup.
I agree with everyone I really hope this show does not get canned, seriously AMERICAN IDOL needs to go some where else like abc or the disney channel and leave the real shows like CHASE on NBC. Come on NBC give CHASE a chance.
A very interesting leading lady. She captures the work involved chasing the scumbags of the world. Folks really do bleed when they are shot. High speed chases lead to deadly crashes. Scripts are very creative and fun to watch. I love her team that supports one tough cop.
wife & i love this show..it is the best to come along in a long time!! please keep it on..wednesday is a great time…
I think Chase is great show. It has potential to be really good if they get the leading actress to become romantically involved with someone. They have dropped some hints. They do a good job portraying the bad guys. They really are bad and look the part. Please don’t cancel.
