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?

Chase is a fair show, we enjoy it alot. The problem with the show and why it has poor ratings is the Director/writers..They are unable to give a climax to an episode that isn’t insanely stupid. Change the director and the ratings will go up…….also tell the leading actress to stop over acting..Again, a cancel is not the correct move just some adustments.
Don’t cancel it. The show is one of the best this season, but just like everything that we TV watchers love it will get cancelled. THE UNIT, bad move. Why move it to a time slot it will not do well in. I watch it on Monday’s – I tape it and watch it on SAturday. YOU EXECUTIVES don’t have a freak in clue.
I love Chase!!! Please don’t cancel a great show!!
My husband and I also watch Chase every week…great show..We are getting tired of NBC cancelling shows just when they are getting started..and they seem to be doing it more and more..
Liked this show from the start – it took a little getting used to in that the main “chaser” was a woman, but when you have other actors like this show has, specifically Cole Hauser, it was worth the watch. Please, please bring it back.
I think moving Chase to Wednesday is brilliant. Get rid of some of these stupid reality shows and maybe good ones like Chase will have a chance to make it. Please don’t cancel it.
Chase is a wonderful show. There are 4 adult women in my household ranging in age from 23 to 65. Besides being a great show, it has the best looking cast on TV. We women love the main male cast members, Cole Hauser, Jesse Metclafe and Amaury Nolasco. We like Killi Giddish as Annie Frost because she is a little crazy when chasing perpetrators. Rose Rollins is a no nonsense character and the same as Killi can hold their own along with the male U.S. Marshals. Being a Jerry Bruckheimer show, it should get a chance because his shows usually… Read more »
I can hardly believe NBC is thinking of cancelling Chase. Chase is a great show and the cast is a great mix of talent. I’d like you to know that everyone I mentioned it to never heard of it. When I explained the show and how much we enjoy it, all those I told now watch it every week and love it. I think the problem is people are not aware of the show because of the time slot and lack of advertising. This show could be a real ratings winner if it had the right platform.
Chase is dumb and isn’t real. It looked stupid in the preview trailers and the acting is bad. It’s sad that some people think it is real.
Please, please, please do not cancel Chase. It is my favorite show and i haven’t missed an episode yet. I don’t know why people don’t like it the whole cast are great actors. i think the show needs time to become more popular. Do Not Cancel!
(:
Moving Chase to wed. @ 9 . (priceless). I think it will make it!
I think Chase is a terrific, fast moving and very entertaining program. It’s good to see women in tough roles… I hope it isn’t going to be canceled anytime soon. Against American Idol is fine with me. I think that show has run it’s course…
My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed Chase. Its the best new shows in years. Give it a good night and a good chance to stay around.
You must be one of the show’s writers then, Nick, because anyone else recognizes the poor storylines, poorer character development, and lack of skill from leading man Kelly.
The Commentary before it wasn’t me me it was my son,Ismial.I am a mature woman now what I wanna say about Chase the plice drama is very wonderful it looks very real and touches the heart for everyone who watches.Move it in a differant day or time but dont cancel it.
