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 Luv Chase!!! They Way they Act. It’s Pretty down with that. All these senarios Could have happen In real life man. It is a touch our hearts ( Not that I would Die) Plz don’t canel man. Move the time slot but don’t cancel -Press Submit-
One of my favorite shows and I think the character development is quite good.
Chase is, bar none, the WORST show I have ever suffered through. Thew writing is poor. No character development. And Giddish is horrible – no skill, not believable and not lead actress material. Cancel this dog now!!!!
I would love to know where these ratings come from. No one has ever assked for my opinion. I am so tired of all the so-called reality shows. I totally enjoy this show and hope NBC gives it the chance it deserves!
I love watching chase too!! I have to DVR it because of work but I would prefer it over any of the other series, especially American Idol. If NBC cuts Chase, then I am through with this network!!
Please don’t cancel CHASE. My husband and I love it.
Chase is my favorite new show of the season and if it gets cancelled I would be very disappointed. NBC if you cancel Chase I’m done with your network.
If NBC cuts chase then I am seriously done watching any show NBC has. It has become a WASTE of time. Like other people have stated they dont even give people a chance to watch them anymore. Maybe these stations should wait until there end statistics that show PVR because NOT everybody has time now adays to sit and watch tv at the schedules time or with commercials. Seriously every new show I have like this year didnt even get a chance. No wonder where I come from people dont even bother getting tv. maybe I should join that majority.
Please keep Chase on TV! It is one of the better new shows! I DVR the show to watch it. I think they cancel shows way too fast. Give Chase a chance!
No wonder NBC is in trouble, the never give a show a chance to develope or gather a fan base. I just started watching Chase three weeks ago and I love it! Everytime I find a show I like on NBC, I try not to get too attached because I know soon they will cancel it. They need to advertertise the show when they have the most amount of viewers. I fell in love with the show on the first viewing. It has a different concept than just ‘who done it?’ It’s a shame they can’t figure out a way… Read more »
chase is suck a great show! I will be sad if they pull the plug because The Whole Truth and Undercovers has already been cancelled. OMG all my shows are leaving.
I love Chase too!! I end up watching on VOD or Hulu because I work so I can’t catch it at the time that it’s on..please don’t cancel 🙁
Chase is great! I record it and watch Castle….Did anyone ever find out how many others do the same? It is in a terrible time slot, but Annie Frost is a great character and very believable. Let’s have a vote!
I LOVE CHASE! Please don’t cancel. GREAT SHOW AND CHARACTERS. Annie Frost is great!
Please keep it NBC!!!!!!
I am absolutely shocked!!!!!!!! I LOVE CHASE!!!!!!!! It’s a great series. My whole family watches it together and we are all grown ups between the ages of 25-55. I didn’t know it wasn’t doing great. Please keep it NBC
