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 by far one of the best cop shows on today as the above others have stated, I kept looking for it and could not find it. You take this off and you will lose what ratings you have. I really like Law and Order SVU, but you need something different and this is. I like watching the cop shows but they are either in NY or LA. So being from the South and Chase is in Texas, it is a breath of fresh air.
Was looking forward to watching Chase last Wednesday but to my surprise In It to Win it was being aired. I checked programing schedule today and found that again it is being replaced with another 2 hour show of In It To Win It again ! Come on NBC, get back with the program. 2 hours of In it to win it is a bit much . PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL CHASE – If show is cancelled I will go back to watching Criminal Minds on CBS.
To the Decision Makers at NBC,
If you give Chase a consistent time slot and promote the show the way your competition promotes its new shows, maybe the ratings would meet your expectations. Chase is a great show and I am frustrated that you have cancelled it. I guess I will spend more of my time now watching CBS and ABC.
I got hooked on “Chase” from the first episode. I think its a great show. I don’t understand why they cannot give new shows a reasonable chance. I’d bet that if they didn’t have it in a timeslot where it was up against 2 other so called blockbusters, it would gather the audience share that it deserves. Will it be renewed, most likely not.
I really think it would do well on TNT or some other well known cable/satellite channel.
Why is it that they always cancel the good ones. I love this show and i hope they leave it on. I just love it and I want to see what is next. I am always waiting for Wednesday to come around and existed to see what bad guy boots will chase next!
I don’t watch NBC but did watch Chase. Biggest Loser is sickening.
A favourite of mine here in Canada
Wow! I love this show, too. I’m also one of those people who rarely watch TV, so if I take the time, it must be good. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
I LOVE CHASE, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT. FINALLY A GOOD SHOW !
I LOVE CHASE, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT. FINALLY A GOOD SHOW !
SO I google chase cause I was wondering what happen to the show I looked forward to watching every Monday and I found this didn’t even know that it was canceled or that they moved it to wed, not cool now I have to check online for any episode I missed. Don’t cancel please this is a good show I was a fan of lost and ones that finish this was the only show that got me watching tv again after lost.
This show was pulled from Hulu, that should tell you its been canceled. nice going. another show worth watching down the toilet.
My family and I really enjoy this show. We like the cast and the storylines. We have no interest in American Idol and have no idea what else is on in that time slot. If Chase is not on I guess it will be HGTV. You have not promoted this show very well. So what if it comes in third in the ratings. It still has a good following. Please do not cancel. Thank you for listening.
I was searching and searching on my menu and I was like where the heck is chase checked my season pass and it said (0) episodes. I got on the internet so fast to see what was going on and to my horror it maybe cancelled. WHY it is a quality show maybe TNT can pick them up just like they did for Southland. NBC please keep chase on.
I LOVE this show and I don’t even watch tv shows that much! It’s my favorite and I’m addicted!!!!
