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 haven’t missed an episode, and can vouch for a spouse and close friend who also schedule the week to make sure we see it. Go, Annie Frost, boots and all! I think it’s a great series, from Texas accents to worn out boots.
I think Chase is good show. NBC cancels good show all the time which makes the NBC heads a bunch of morons.
I watch Hawaii 5 0 too on Mondays. Thats what a DVR is for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE keep Chase! I am SO tired of reality shows and Chase gives me something different.
Love the Show!! Cut Chase, cut NBC. Keep Chase, keep NBC.
I love Chase. Don’t cancel it. It’s a great show.
There are really two tyes of television watchers reality show watchers and other shows. I can’t belive people really want to wach others make a fool themself on National telvesion. This show is perfect for so many audince. I think NBCs scale of rating is wackey. Airing it agianst American Idol will draw new viewers who were just flipping through the chanlles and untill now had nothin better to watch then Idol. Annebeth is my role model in many ways. I preddict Chase to have a bright furture
I love Chase! I found it by accident when Castle on ABC wasn’t on one night and I like Chase better! I love the characters. I think it was a mistake putting it up against Castle on ABC. A lot of my friends are already fans of Castle, so they haven’t watched Chase. I am glad they are moving it to another night. I am tired of American Idol, too, so I will be watching Chase.
I love CHASE!!!!!!! It is way up on my list of top favorite shows. It is thrilling and I havent missed an episode and neither has any of my family. I love the freshness it gives and Annie’s kick-butt cowgirl attitude. I love this show and hope they keep it. We need more shows like it and less like the Idol show on TV for better role models for children and adults alike as well as for a good dose of ture reality instead of fake reality shows that just show a bunch of freaks doing freaky things.

One of the best shows on tv! Great stories, acting, action! Don’t cancel it and put it in a spot where it can thrive and get the positive attention it deserves!
I am a regular watcher of Chase and look forward to each show. I would love to see it stay on NBC. As much as I would love to see American Idol go away, the masses seem to be happy to watch ‘reality’ TV…I fear for the success of Chase in that time slot! But I will be watching Chase!
Chase is one of the most entertaining and exciting shows I have seen in a while. Even my husband enjoys watching it! It rivals any reality show around. Pure entertainment. Annie Frost is my new idol. NBC MUST keep this show!
love CHASE. sick of all those stupid reality shows. i agree NBC knows nothing about what people want
I think sticking Chase up against American Idol is an excellent plan – hopefully Chase will help to get rid of a show that should have died several seasons ago. Chase is one of the best new shows in years and it deserves a real chance.
Love Chase!!!! Why does NBC mess with good series? No wonder they are last in ratings – they don’t know good programs when they have one. If this series is dropped I hope another network picks it up.
This is crazy. Chase is an exciting show and I have not missed an episode and neither have my friends. We have talked together about this show and everyone has agreed that it should be a keeper.
Sometimes NBC and the other networks want to put on a silly reality show and see some people behave like idiots, instead we want to be entertained and watch programs that take us away from our daily problems.
KEEP THIS PROGRAM.
