Game shows like The Chase have been a staple of ABC’s summer schedule for several years now. However, the network recently cleaned house and cancelled Match Game, The Celebrity Dating Game, The Hustler, and The Ultimate Surfer. Will The Chase be the next to go or, will it be renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
A trivia quiz show, The Chase TV series is hosted by Sara Haines. The program is a fast-paced competition where three competitors must use their wits and knowledge to face off against the Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius who is determined to stop the contestants from winning cash prizes. In each episode, contestants are challenged to think faster than they ever thought possible, to answer up to 166 questions across all topics. Trivia masters Victoria Groce, Brandon Blackwell, Buzzy Cohen, Brad Rutter, and James Holzhauer each take turns serving as the Chaser.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
7/21 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.

For comparisons: Season two of The Chase on ABC averaged a 0.48 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.62 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the The Chase TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
I hope they renew The Chase. This is my favorite game show that I truly enjoy watching.
They can renew The Chase. One change to the show I would like to recommend is that they fire Victoria (The Queen).
I love the chase. I hope you will find a way to keep it in one form or another. I thought it was much more exciting than other similar knowledge based shows!
I would like to see The Chase return. I enjoy it. Kind of like Jeopardy.
Love the Chase. By far my favorite because it is suspenseful!
The Chase is better without Ken Jennings. Contestants had more knowledge in season 2.
This show has become pathetic. We’re supposed to believe that the chaser eliminated two contestants, yet couldn’t keep it together to beat one lone man in the final Chase in the most recent episode
I liked Season 1 and liked Season 2 even better because of The Beast. Season 3 has not been as good. I don’t care for the new chasers…..I miss Ken & Mark. The dream team was Brad, Ken, James & Mark.
Change the Host
I used to watch but
the host started to annoy me, let her polute the air waves on the View
