'The Chase' renewed for a second season

[Jeremy Nelson]

Courtesy of Son of the Bronx, The Chase reached a new ratings high last night - 620,000 overall viewers. They also hit a new high in the 18-49 demographic.

Wow..did not expect that. Icing on the cake, to say the least.

An extra tidbit about the 18-49 figure is, according to Mr. Labbett himself, that it is "nearly double our target." One might hope that would bode well for development of future seasons.

At one point (I believe it was before the show premiered), GSN/Sony was running promos during Jeopardy.  Are they still doing that?

Great to see a good game getting rewarded.  Hopefully this will allow them to continue development!

(or more British imports...)

Another viewership high last night: 666,000 viewers. (Some other very unusual highs throughout the day are noted, too.)

Bad joke about 666 being the Mark of the Beast in 3,2,1.......

Considering these extra-high marks for The Chase, I hope a third season comes with it. At this point, The Chase is one of the only shows I make it a point to watch live, as opposed to DVR. It's good TV.

Agree with 2 out of the 3 sentences (the commercial breaks are too long for me to agree with the remaining one).

What are these "commercial breaks" you speak of?

/blah-dink, blah-dink, blah-dink, blah-dink

I love that too (My TiVo is about as faithful and loyal as any pet could hope to be, and TiVo doesn't piddle on the floor) but one of the knocks I have about The Chase is excising 25% of the play.

I don't disagree, but welcome to television in 2014. We're lucky they're letting a guy with a funny accent talk on screen at all.

Close captioning works wonder too 

And a definitely hell yeah on the Tivo remark. I only have the poor man's person, called a Time Warner DVR, but it works

For the fourth week in a row, The Chase has hit a series high for a new run. Last night (January 28th), The Chase scored 827,000 total viewers

I blame Obama.

[TLEberle]

I'm amazed that one in 400 viewers across the country is watching The Chase.

It helps that he plays the villain.

I like the Beast, but when watching The Rich List, My Kind of Town and Million Dollar Mind Game, I wish they'd been more stringent about the funny accents.

[TLEberle]

Stringent how?
