NBC rounded out their Monday night schedule with a new cop series, Chase. Police shows have performed very well for the networks for years but how did this one perform? Is it a keeper or will it be quickly cancelled?
Chase follows US Marshall Annie Frost (Kelli Giddish) as she heads up the Houston Enforcement & Apprehension Task Force. Annie and her team (played by Cole Hauser, Amaury Nolasco, Rose Rollins, and Jesse Metcalfe) hunt down America’s most dangerous fugitives.

The premiere garnered a disappointing 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.3 million viewers. That put Chase in third (last) place in both categories. It lost a significant number of viewers from lead-in The Event — 36% of the demo and 33% of total viewers. It also lost about 15% of viewers in the demo between the start and finish of the episode.
While this is much better than last year’s The Jay Leno Show, this mediocre start doesn’t bode well for Chase’s future. If the ratings decline in week two, as they typically do for new shows, it could be in real trouble.
Based on this performance alone, it seems unlikely that NBC would bother ordering any episodes beyond the initial 13 installments.
So, what do you think? Is Chase worth watching? Do you like the show or should it just be cancelled?

Dont do this too me “Peacock” people! I love Chase are yall crazy? If you guys do yall job as a network this show will be on for many years to come! All yall have to do is advertise the show during day time tv so people can no whats on and when, I mean come on people its called advertising! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! Please dont cancel! Please its really nothing else good on this channel after Ellen anyway atleast u can let the people have 1 show they love and don’t just watch on your channel
This is crazy who’s saying cancel? Im a 31 yr old woman and my sister is 36 we get together on monday and thats 1 of the shows we love to watch out of all the shows on the “peacock” ! They need to pomote the show more during daytime tv and get people to see the previews its called advertising people! I mean come on how could u not love it!
There is so much crap out there..this is just fun, at times on the edge chase by a bad ass protaganist. my only disappointment was your token show of the lesbian encounter..why? why? why? seems some shows have an “agenda” with mixed english and spanish, which is kinda cool. but the whole lesbian agenda was a huge letdown.
I like Chase…….it has an Alias feel with the strong but vulnerable female lead.
Chase is a modern hillstreet blues. lots of things going on, real life events, keep you wanting more. put it in a time slot on fox and it will blow everybody else away. DON’T CANCEL!!!!!
Kelli Giddish makes it worth watching. Story lines are formulaic and simplistic but it’s better than 3/4 of the crap on tv
LOVE this show. DO NOT take it off the air!
Please keep the show on. I watched it last week and my husband watched it with me this week. We love it. We laughed and enjoyed it. We can’t wait for the next show.
Thank you!

I hope this show will continue – I really enjoy the U.S. Marshall’s series and it’s better than alot of the cop shows on now.
I think i’m too late but i’m voiting keeping this show on the air!
I see it’s in OnDemand again. It’s been a now you see it and then now you don’t and then now you see it again show. Keep the show on the air and make episodes! I love the cast!

I have to watch it on Fancast because of the time slot. The later it is on the less people watch. But I check it each week for the latest. Annie is amazing.
