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?

Why put on a show, move it around, and cancel it due to trash like idol or the new hawaii 5-0. The new hawaii 5-0 is crap compared to the original sahow, and if Chase is bad, CSI, Criminal Minds, and 5-0 need cancelled as well. I think the fact is you and your producers mad a bad decision because the star of this show was a woman marshal. That’s why a lot of us watched it. It wasn’t another glorified macho show featuring another heroic man. This show allowed that perhaps a woman could do a good job as… Read more »
its a excellent show you need to put it back on you people always take off the good shows
I can’t agree more. Chase is one of the best new shows. The actors are great and the storylines are excellent. I have had enough of the so-called “reality” shows. Enough is enough with that crap. I don’t understand how a show can get cancelled if there are so many people writing to say how much they like it and please don’t cancel it. Do they not really care what we think? Who’s picking these shows to stay or go anyway? They need help.
I love Chase. It is definately my favorite new show of the season. It was the one show that I looked forward to each week. I don’t think it was promoted enough, and don’t networks get it that when you move a show around to different time slots and preempt it, that is what kills a show. People can’t find it. I have tried watching Hawaii 50 and I chase is much better.
I thought the show was well written and action packed. When Hawaii 5 0 was in another time slot we watched Chase every week until it disappeared. Thats when I think the networks really mess up by moving programs all around and then you can’t find them or baseball and football are put on and the shows start later or or pushed off. How do they expect a show to survive. Just like Blue Bloods was suppose to be moved to Wed. nights and that lasted one week and it was put back to Fri. nights. Go figure!!!!!!!!
I really liked the program Chase. I put it up there with NCIS and CSI
I think Chase is one of the better shows on television today. The actors and action is “great”!!! The writers present fresh twists. I can think of 10 other shows that should be cancelled from my vantage point.
The entire family looked forward every week to view this very entertaining show. We wondered why it wasn’t on anymore. Please reconsider.
I don’t get why Chase isn’t on I love that show. There is nothing wrong with Chase and I’m pissed NBC has pulled it. If it gets canceled I hope TNT or USA picks it up cause it’s a good show. I hate minute to win it, it’s the dumbest show in my opinion and reality tv is overrated. Give me the drama of Chase not people making complete idiots out of themseleves.
You are so RIGHT!! I hate that dumb show minute to win, I don’t look at it and can’t believe it replace CHASE. I hope that TNT or USA pick this show up. I would be glue to the set. As soon as I got other family members watching NBC goes and pull it. Now they all are asking me “Where is Chase”?. This to me was NBC best new show. They will be sorry that they pulled it. I hope it comes back to a network any network!!
Chase is an EXCELLENT show; very entertaining, great cast, great acting, and suspenseful. It kept our attention and always left us wanting more. We’re going crazy waiting for another episode! PLEASE don’t cancel Chase!
I think Chase has been right up ther with all the CSI’s AND just as good as Law & Order: SVU. Please find a less competitive time slot or do whatever you have to do to get it where people will notice it. Once they try it, they’ll be hooked like the rest of us!
I love Chase, please don’t cancel.
I thought this was a great show with a great cast.
Great show! We found it very entertaining.
I think this is a great show and it gets better every episode. Why would you want to cancel it?
I’m not an Idol fan, but I thought “Chase” was well put together…I thought it comparable to 24, Ncis and CSI Miami…all fantastic…I hope another network/cable network, picks Chase up…great characters, good action and Annie is very easy to look at…
damn rite FARRRRR better than all the **** realty that’s shoved down our throats because cheap to produce so the a,,,,,, exec’s canshow a better worksheet.
