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 THINK YOU ARE MAKING A BAD DECISION CANCELLING THIS SHOW. I DONT BELIEVE IN THE RATINGS BECAUSE I WORK ALL WEEK AND I DVR CHASE AND ALL MY FAVORITE SHOWS AND WATCH THEM ON THE WEEKEND. I ASK THAT YOU RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION AND TAKE NOTE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DVR SHOWS INSTEAD OF WATCH THEM LIVE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DETECT WHEN YOUR SHOWS ARE BEING DVR’D AND COUNT THAT WITH THE RATINGS.
Luv the show, well made and always action. Kelli Giddish is the most gorgeous women on TV!! Network keeps ******** up, never know when it is on. Fans love the show!!!!
I CAN’T BELIEVE you want to cancel this show!!! WE LOVE it–you are ruining the ratings by moving it around all the time so we viewers don’t know when it is on!!! What is with you guys??!!!! Let’s have something creative instead of “mindless game shows” and mindless reality shows!!!
This show is quite good. Why ruin a good thing and why do you people keep putting the reality shows and the singing show wanna be’s on…..HELLO……..I won’t be watching TV at all if you all keep taking off good shows like this one……..
please do not cancel this show it is a very good intense show…you are drawn to the story and the characters. I want to know what the connection between annie and jimmy…..please do not cancel this show….i love this show and kelli is amazing….also alot of people love this show.
Chase is brilliant, much better than some of the rubbish currently in its third or forth season!! Why it hasnt been given a better chance I dont understand.

I agree. Good show. The problem is to watch it you have to chase it down. It is not on when they say and that is very aggravating.
