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?

Don’t cancel Chase. It’s a great show and I look forward to it every week!
Please don’t cancel Chase. It is one of the best shows on t.v. now for ADULTS. It is realistic and extremely well written and acted. Young kids may give you ratings but mature adults buy you sponsor’s products. The actors in this drama are totally believable. I think this show rates up there with NYPD Blue and Hill Stree Blues. And the networks wonder why they are losing share………..
Leave Chase on! It’s an awesome show!
I look forward to watching Chase. One of my favorite shows. Acting good and good character development, fast paced, with a different take. Its all about the chase and getting into the mind of the fugitive. Rather watch this show than another boring game show or reality show. Hope the network does not cancel it.
My wife and I have really enjoyed the series. It was high energy and thought provoking.
Chase is set to record on our DVR every time it is on.
We sure hope that NBC will save the show.
Chase is 1 of the best shows on tv! The best setup on tv is law&order svu
‘ then chase right after at 10o’clock!
Chase is the best show on network TV. Please don’t cancel it.
I agree this is a really good show. It is very interesting. Hopefully it doesn’t get completely booted.
Leave chase on! I love the show
A new episode was listed in the TV Guide for tonight, but the DVR guide shows 2 unbearable hours of repeat Minute To Win It. You TV execs are loopy! There isn’t an ounce of loyalty anymore. Viewers had better know when they tune in, it’s for the ONE show they are watching right now. So long, Cole. See you around.
CHASE
WHAT???? Cancelling it? Good show, good acting, But shows like Minute to win it, which has about ten minutes of actual playing time fills the slots.
ABC cancelled Eli Stone another show that was funny and had morals, too much for people to wrap their minds around I guess.
NBC = NoBody Cares
I give up
I thgopught the shaow excellent.
Why do they take all the good shows off and leave on bad shows.
GIVE CHASE A 2nd SEASON………..
Will you please leave Chase in your lineup. You finally have a good show. Give it a chance and quit moving it around. It takes awhile for a show to catch on sometimes and you aren’t known for leaving something on long enough to catch.
Sincerely,
Polly Belanger
I absolutely love this show. It definitely should not be cancelled. May be it just needs to be promotoed better.
ME TOO!! this is one of my favorite shows that i look forward to EVERY week!!
Please do not cancel Chase I look forward to that show
