The peacock network has reportedly ordered five additional scripts for Chicago Fire. The news comes a few days after NBC ordered five more scripts for sitcom Guys with Kids.
Chicago Fire follows the working heroes of Chicago Firehouse 51; the firefighters, rescue squad, and paramedics. The stresses of their jobs affect their personal and professional relationships and often have long-lasting reprocussions. The TV show’s cast includes Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, Lauren German, Monica Raymund, Charlie Barnett, Teri Reeves, David Eigenberg and Eamonn Walker.
The new drama hasn’t been a big success in the ratings thus far. Chicago Fire debuted to a disappointing 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.61 million total viewers. In week two, the numbers dropped to a 1.5 rating with 5.85 million.
Last night, the numbers perked up a bit and landed the 1.8 rating with 6.3 million, per the fast affiliates. Aside from Friday’s Grimm, Chicago Fire is currently NBC’s lowest rated hour drama.
The network’s ordering of five more scripts for Chicago Fire is likely a way to keep the show on track while the network execs watch the next few weeks of ratings and decide if they want to put any more episodes into production.
What do you think? Have you been watching Chicago Fire on NBC? Do you think NBC should order more episodes or should they cancel it instead?

Angry if this show gets canceled I have seen more stupid shows make it much further and chicago fire is a great show
Keep this show on the air, you show to quickly I used to work for a rating company and this show is my family favorite.
I am very disappointed that there have not been any new Chicago Fire shows. This is my favorite show. You have to give it time for people to watch it and hear about it. It is a fantastic show and I will be devastated if it is cancelled. Please continue to show new episodes before people give up on it. In the world of DVR everyone watches shows at their time. Please give it a chance this show is terrific!!!
I’m very angry there hasn’t been any new shows on. I look forward to watching this and the last two weeks there hasn’t been new ones. Disappointing because I love this show
I think the sow is awesome, look forward to it every week. Characters are starting to grow and there are some great stories starting to develop. Keep the show on the air.
Keep the show, NBC!!!
I love the show. It reminds me of ER a little bit and I love most Dick Wolf shows. PLease keep it going.
I love this show,please give them another chance.Nbc is very well known to cancel the good shows and keep the crazy reality shows take them off. I can’t watch it the night it runs,but I have TiVo all of them along with the only other good series Law and order. So,I believe your ratings are incorrect. I’m ju asking that they ahave.aChan
It’s been great and I think it should b given a chance. It’s way worse shows out there. Dis one is definitely a keeper!!
Give It a Chance MASH was thought to go down the drain after 10 episode b ut on the last episode after 11 seasons there were more than 200 TV,News, and News paper Reporters wanting to film the last episode live So give it a chance!!!!!!! It Might Take 1 or 2 seasons but i think it will be a great show!!!!
Love it, and I say give it a chance. The set up of characters and story lines surpass any show I’ve seen in a while. NBC has a record of canceling shows i like too soon, tho. In today’s network climate even ER would prob be canceled too soon. Also the demo networks go after is really young. I dont know many college age students that watch TV.
I am loving the show. Must say I have not watched anything on NBC since the cancellation of Third Watch. I really like this show and see it getting better and better. I actually look forward to watching and would be very disappointed if it were cancelled before it can be fine tuned. Please give it a chance.
Good show, keep it running NBC.
