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 just went to set my DVR and saw it wasn’t on. So I looked it up and found that it’s probably going to be cancelled. Just as the other people said, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW! It truly is one of the best new shows! Come on! “Get with the program!” I’m disabled and tv is an important part of my life. And so is this show.
I LOVE this show!! I’m from the DFW area, but lived in Houston for a very long time. Kelli’s Texas accent is very realistic. I’d be very surprised to find out that’s she’s not native-born Texan. For the first time in a long time, there’s a really good TV show that depicts Texans as something other than ridiculous characatures. I look forward to this show each and every week…..in fact, I WATCH “Chase”, while I only DVR “Hawaii 5-0” to watch the next night. PLEASE don’t cancel this program….it’s really, REALLY good!! In fact, I think maybe a little “office”… Read more »
Disappointed to see it canceled. Seems that when a smart fresh show comes along the viewing public doesn’t respond to it. I hope the network will give it a chance to find a following.
Love CHASE! Well-written, well-acted, and the perps seem to be humans, not just cardboard-cutout villains. Kelli’s Texas accent is perfect, a near impossible feat for most actors. Very unfair to schedule this quality series opposite American Idiot. Er, Idol.
I love Chase; are they kidding about discontinuing it? The characters are more complex and interesting than on most shows, and Kelli is great in her role. Appreciate her true-to-life southern accent. This may be the only show on TV where Texans are not horrible stereotypes. Save CHASE.
This show how is about as realistic as Barney the dinosaur. This show will never be a major hit.
OMG don’t cancel Chase!! I LOVE that show. It’s my new favorite show this season!
Chase was the best program on TV. All my friends loved the program, too, and we are all shocked that they would cancel it. Wish another network would pick it up.
What is with NBC? Chase is one of the better shows they have had in awhile. Please keep this show on the air. It almost seems like NBC wants it to fail. Let’s see—they say the ratings are poor so their solution? move it to Wednesdays up against American Idol!! Yeah, there’s the solution!!!
I just started watching Chase. I have seen the last 3 episodes. It is by far the best new show. I have been telling all my friends about it. They had never even heard of it, so the network needs to let people know about it. I had seen the commercials but was not intrigued by them Come on NBC promote this show better. Make people want to watch it, cause it is really really good!
LOVE THAT SHOW CHASE
Love this show….please please DO NOT cancel! It’s fast-paced, good plots and exciting from start to finish. Love it and will boycott NBC if they cancel.
Chase TV series A GREAT show, please do not cancel–watched by millions
Chase at great TV series, please do not cancel
Hope it does well in the new time slot. I think Kelli is great in the role. Being from the south myself I can tell a fake southern accent a mile away and her’s is real. I have been a loyal watcher since it started and can’t believe they are considering canceling.
