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 love Chase and haven’t missed an episode. I hope it’s not canceled!
chase is a good show. undercovers was a real snoozer, just like the one with the judge in it. (i cant even remember the name of it) – i do think it being a new show people have not been able to see it. they generally stick with what they know they like. i personally am not gonna try a new show if its on the same time as one of my favorites. i like hell’s kitchen, but i don’t watch it anymore simply because they put it on against one of my most favorite shows. they need to put… Read more »
I love Chase–please don’t cancel it! The cast is great (some nice eye candy, too!) I love running around with Annie & the other marshalls chasing bad guys. Actually, Undercovers is fun, too (not a “must-see” like Chase, but I’m happy watching.) I’ve been wondering what happened to my shows…
Chase has been one of my favorites from the first episode so it will probably be canceled.
I don’t watch much on NBC because it sucks so much. CBS and ABC aren’t any better. If I didn’t have a DVR to record what I want to watch and zip the ton of commercials, I wouldn’t watch any network shows. So drop Chase and I drop you, NBC!!
This is the only show on TV right now that I actually set my night aside for. I love this show! Bring it back!
Chase is one of the best shows on network tv. Why does the networks keep canceling all of the good shows? Enough with all of the reality tv. Bring back chase.
Chase is one of my absolutely favourite tv shows. Please don’t cancel it!
Chase is one of my favorite new shows (along with Blue Bloods and Hawai’i 5-0) — hopefully it will not be cancelled. Jerry Bruckheimer is a master at creating exciting and action-packed series and Annie is a really cool character!
This is one of the best shows on the air We did not miss an episode. All the actors are great Annie is mean and does not put up with anything. Take some of the other “trash” off the air. Kee[ Chase on please
My whole family loves Chase! We don’t want it to leave.
Please consider bringing Chase back. It’s one of my and my husband’s favorite shows.
My wife and I enjoyed Chase and hate to see it end.
I like this show better than a lot of the other “popular” shows, and I’ll miss it if they take it off the air. I think NBC should consider getting rid of some of their other shows, which I find to be boring, and have ridiculous premises.
About time they cancelled this POS. This show was pathetic — and the man who plays Annie can’t act.
don’t cancel Chase or Undercover, the 2 shows I watch on NBC besides Parenthood
