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?

keep it love this show from australia
I cannot believe they took Chase off the air one of the best shows on TV. Before long there won’t be anything on but reality show which I do not watch. Do the exce’s even watch TV, the actors were all so good, believable unlike shows How I Met Your Mother that show is just so awful and truly unbelievable but they leave it on year after year and so many other just not worth naming
Chase is an awesome show! Me and my wife look forward to watching it every week,
And are very bummed out to find out on some weeks that it is not going to play!
At times it can be a bit unrealistic and could use some work in the script department but overall the show is good! We love the idea and setting of it in Texas. KEEP THE SHOW. Improve it where needed, but do not give up on it!
I love this show!!! Please don’t cancel it, it shows so my promise I have my DVR set to record it but for some reason it can not find it to record. Please give it a permanent place in your line up. This one really deserves it not like the Jay Leno show.
I waited for the 2 weeks they said it would be back nothing. No warning it was being pulled. Just like politicians the network cannot keep its word. I liked the show kept you i suspense and agree with at lest let the season run out for us. Keep it going Jerry bruckheimer does a good job. I think it is a slap in his face. Brink Annie and the rest of her crew back.
Please keep this show on the air. It is really a good addition. I’m so tired of game shows in primetime. We watch every episode and then again on on-demand. Let’s have some new ones to watch!
CHASE is a great show, we watch every episode. l dont get how they can figure out that not enough people are watching. the exececutives of these shows are idiots and have no idea what they are talking about. No wonder the networks are doing so badly.
I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY I START TO LIKE A SHOW AND IT IS PULLED OFF THE AIR. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV I LIKE ACTION SHOWS AND IT HAD IT. THEY HAVE A GREAT GROUP OF ACTORS ON THIS SHOW THEY WILL BE MISSED GREATLY IF IT IS PULLED. PLEASE RECONSIDER IF AT ALL POSSIBILITY.
CHASE is definitely worth keeping. PLEASE!!!! Eventhough it won’t help to beg. Excellent show.
I am sick and tired of stupid incompetent network exec’s trying to figure out what we like and dont like Chase is a great show and they want to replace it with a stupid reality game show come on come the F—
on leave the good shows alone Chase should stay maybe it is the exec’s that should go
Keep this show. It was fantastic! I looked forward to watching it every week. Kelli is fabulous as Annie Frost and so is all her team! Every time a really good show comes along, the network producers cancel it! This is a good show! KEEP IT!!!!
Yes I agree with the people on here that want chase back on air. Plus the main actress is HOT i think but never-the-less it was a great show. Heck I will help do the show for free to help keep it alive!!
This is the only show I watch on NBC and you took it off the air! Promote more so more people will watch. It is a really good show. Please at the least let us watch the remaining shows!!!!!!! We want Annie and not TOMORROW!
This is the first show that has kept my attention.I feel as if it is so much truth in it. Why have this on if you are going to skip it around.You should keep this show on EVERY WEEK. It is about time to have a VERY GOOD SHOW TO WATCH!!!! So please keep this show on air. There a lot of people whom I have talked to that likes this more than any other.
Chase is the best new show on this season. I look forward to each new episode. NBC should not keep moving it around or have it on one month then off again. This show shows promise. NBC , order more episodes and renew it for next season. I’ll watch for sure.
