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?

Love…Love…Love this show! Please do not cancel Chase!
Me and my wife really enjoyed this Series. Sad to see it go 🙁 It will be a great lost. I was pure action and never boring. Hope it turns around again.
PLEASE PLEASE do not take Chase off the air. Best show to come out in years. Take some of the reality shows instead. My husband & I look forward to the show all week
Don’t do it! Love this show! Just watched it online cause I lost power at home! Planning to watch it on Wednesday! Leave this show alone!
This show is the only one the whole family sits and watches togetherl. We all love it and really hope that they don’t cancel it!!!! Now granted we do PVR it because the timeslot is up against alot of other shows that we also watch.. so we tape them alll
I think it’s a great show give it a Chance in Better time slot
My whole family like Chase and doesn’t want to see it canceled.
Putting it against American Idol isn’t very smart. If you want to
get better ratings give it a better time slot!
It’s a great series. We think it’s exciting, clever, and like no other series on TV. Hopefully, the few of us who DON’T watch American Idol will all tune into Chase and help its ratings!
I hope they keep around the show I love very much this show although I haven’t watch most of the time and reason I didn’t was I always couch last minute of the show , but the good thing is they do have, previous and Im able to see what I mise. Im hopen this show become like day time show. My favour one in the show is Kelli Giddish and Cole Hauser. I love to see Jimmy and Annie in love seen someday.I can see the love between them…
I love this show!!! Its one of the only shows I actually like that is still on. I think Chase is much better than the Event but I like that one too! but i think chase is amazing
We enjoy The Event and are suprised that you are considering canceling it. We really enjoy Undercovers as well. Not happy to hear it has been canceled. Either we are out of the main stream or your ratings are missing the mark. The new schedule of putting shows on for a few weeks then breaking for a few months is difficult and I believe causes rating problems. You can not expect people to adjust their lives around these shows that are not on for more then six episodes then go off for months only to find out they have been… Read more »
i love this show. the first time slot sucked. the new one isn’t much better. i’m getting really tired of all the reality tv. what exactly is real about it. every time NBC gets a shoe i like they cancel it. last season i loved mercy and trauma. i even quit watching shows i have watched for years to watch those. NBC has absolutely nothing on, on friday nights. i think then or on thursday night would be a mich better time. i will say one thing else they could change i do not like their female lead. i think… Read more »
Great show – poor time slot. Do they even count the number of people who watch the shows with on demand or TiVo. Some people love the show but can’t stay up for them. Hope it isn’t canceled.
my wife & I like chase. It was in a rough timeslot, but I think the new one is a lot better. Everyone doesn’t like am. idol, and the abc comedies aren’t the best I’ve ever seen. We the new timeshifting “DVR’S” and “TiVo’s, people can still watch two or three shows from the same timeslots. NBC needs all the good shows it can get. If they are smart(we know that’s not the case), they will keep the good shows and get rid of their bad ones. If they don’t watch out, they will soon only be a true “cable… Read more »
Must keep Chase around!!! Well written, acted and needs a better timeslot. Stop ******** with these great action shows.
