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 has become my favorite show this season. Keep it going.
Okay last post 😉 Let’s not forget Trauma was canned just as Rabbit’s relationship with whatever her name is, was getting going. And then Mercy was another casualty. Keep demanding instant ratings, my demographic will continue to leave in droves, I’m a 30 year old male that loved the reimagined BSG. I’m off to play on my XBox 360.
Seriously, at this rate I may as well go play more video games. cancel cancel cancle, and then on with nothing to broadcast and no shows with a solid viewerbase. ER was on for what, 4 years before the ratings went completely off the chart.
This is just plain funny. Heroes was rocking out, the they kept ******** with it and going against what the shows creators and writers wanted to do. Then there’s the endless list of shows they’ve canceled, much like Fox. I’m kind of puzzled how NBC is still in existance all they do is cancel stuff and loose money. I keep getting more into video games for entertainment……BTW Heroes didn’t collapse until after the second and third seasons, when NBC kept dickin’ around with the story lines and destroying story arcs. I often wonder why GE doesn’t sell the network and… Read more »
Chase is one of the FEW good shows you need to leave it ON!
Go figure… Chase and Undercovers were among the few shows we recorded and watched. Warehouse 13, Covert Action and Justified are about the only series I’ve seen that were worth a hoot.
Guess those overpaid studio execs think they know better.
we love chase !!! it is so nice to watch a show where a female is a leader and catching the bad guys … i am disappointed that it might be taken off the air … i look forward to watching it every week and i have missed not watching it the last couple of weeks. i really hope it stays around !!!
NBC gets a good show and then cancels it . What kind of people do they have running the company? It’s like they want to make the network the worst there is!!!! Chase is one of the few shows worth watching on NBC!!!!
I love Chase and would hate it to be cancelled
I love Chase, I have been all over the tv trying to find it , so disappointed that it is not on. please do not cancel this great cast, they are doing a very good job.
Hang on Annie you will go far
We canceled our Dish Sat. and went to basic cable because we are sick of the junk on most channels. Not having many “good” shows to choose from other than NCIS and a couple of other ones, I would hate to see Chase canceled. It is less graphic than most shows and the story line is done well. I like to see the bad guy/girl pay the consequences. Please keep this show on the air and give it a fair shake. NCIS took awhile to build a following, maybe Chase will also.
We love Chase. We record Hawaii 5 O They are making a big mistake. NBC wake up
I love Chase. I really like a lot of the new shows this season, but Chase is by far my favorite. I am terribly disappointed that they are even thinking about taking it off the air. I am sorry that it is up against American Idol because I feel they are setting it up to fail. I like American Idol but I will watch Chase and tape AI.
WE LOVE CHASE……WE RECORD IT OR WATCH IT AND RECORD HAWAII 5-O NBC IS MESSING UP, AGAIN, NO WONDER THERE ALWAYS IN LAST PLACE. CHASE IS MAYBE THE BEST NEW SHOW OF THE YEAR , DARN YOU NBC !!
