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 is the best show, we look foward to it each week. we dvr it every week, come on this is a great show. cancel it? youve got to be out of your mind
Don’t cancel Chase. It is one of my family’s favorite shows. I like
that it is in Texas rather than New York or L.A. We like all the
people on the show but of course Annie is our favorite.
Love the show, Keep it.
Noooo!!! Please do not cancel Chase. This is one of the best shows out there! We DVR it as well to watch at our convenience. Please keep this show on the air. Stupid of NBC to have moved it up against an award winning show (Modern Family). Find another time slot! But it’s a great show!
We love the show. We had to record it when it was opposite Hawaii Five O and watch it later. But we never missed an episode. DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!!!
so disappointed if you cancel Chase, one of the best shows for the 2010 season
OH NO! Chase is the best show to come along since 24! Annie is determined and crazy with a heart! A true heroine. I want to see how that situation with her red head partner turns out. They’re feeling each other! I want to see him make this marriage work but…
I love all the characters! The plots! Me and my boyfriend look forward to watching Chase and if we have to wait more than a day to get together one of us caves and watches it anyway!
I love this show. Why do they cancel shows that are so good? I also DVR this show and watch it at a later time. NBC I think you made a huge mistake on this one.
OMG, PLEAZZZZZZ DO NOT CANCEL CHASE…..IT IS ONE OF THE BEST NEW SHOWS ON TELEVISION. WE LOVE ANNIE AND JIMMY AND ALL THE REST. THERE IS SOOOOOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR THOSE ACTORS IF GIVEN A CHANCE…..AND, BESIDES, WHERE IS THE REST OF THE SHOWS??? GET ‘EM BACK ON TV REAL SOON, PLEAZZZZZZZ!!!!!
I love Chase, just watched every one again on primetime free with charter.. Please keep this.. the mexican cartel was fantastic
Please please please, don’t get rid of Chase it’s such a great show. I mean yes now I have to watch it online because I watch other shows but still. Are they looking at that as well, because I watch it on NBC.com all the time?
I love Chase. I am very disappointed to hear of its possible cancellation!!!!! I favor crime fighting programs and Chase offered a very unique twist to the usual sort of crime programs on TV these days. I thought its story line was picking up with the two part series that last aired!!!
NOOOOO I love this show! Please don’t do this to Chase!
I love Chase with Annie 9 lives….the action stunts are performed by the actors most of the time….she really did jump off that bridge! Gawd it’s the only TV show worth watching out there now. Who cares about those boring reality TV shows with actor wannabee’s. Please I hope they don’t cancel this show.
Chase is a great show. I don’t believe the ratings numbers. We DVR our favorite shows and watch them at OUR convience. I’ll bet there are many more people who do this.
My whole family looks forward to seeing this show!!!!
