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?

My husband and I watched Chase and really liked the show. It is a much better show than some of the stuff they have on. They have so many CSI’s and they are all about the same type cope shows. Chase is different and we were just getting into the characters when they pulled it. They leave on some of the dummest shows and pull the good ones, go figure.
We watch a lot of TV. We have seen much junk,so called hits on the screen this year. It is beyond us why a show that keeps your interest for the length of the episode would be tanked. You have to start somewhere. I don’t think that “Chase was given a chance. Just look at the show Big Bang Theory it was given no chance and look at it now.
Why does the only show that is deemed successful is the one that has characters drunk, having sex and acting stupid. I really liked Chase, I don’t know what will be replacing it but NBC is on my list of Network not to watch!!!
what happen I was wiating the show cam on but I haven’t see. well who ever make this show should know that every show that camis on to the T.V grot to be like so I want you to know that you have to give a chanec to do that for chase and people like us who love to watch ok.
Why in the world would you cancel Chase? The only decent series that was on TV besides Blue Bloods. You people are nuts! Who cares about One Minute to Win it? Trash that’s what it is. Please put Chase back on. We certainly won’t be watching your channel until you do.
I can’t believe NBC leaves crap on tv like The Bachelor but cancels chase! Lame!
I ABOSLUTELY LOVE THE TV SHOW “CHASE.” I ADMIT IT TOOK A COUPLE OF EPISODES BEFORE I SAW THE CHEMISTRY AND CONNECTION WITH THE CAST OF CHARACTERS, BUT IT QUICKLY BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE NEW TV SHOWS! THE LAST TWO EPISODES TITLED NARCO WERE EXTREMELY INTENSE AND SECURED IT AS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TV SHOWS ALL AROUND. IF NBC CHOOSES TO COMPLETELY CANCEL IT, I WILL CONSIDER IT A HUGE LOSS!
I love this show. I can’t believe they want to cancel this show I have my nephews hooked on this show. Annie and Jimmy are the best. Please keep this show on.
Best TV show ever, what is wrong with the higher ups, are they dumb
I looked forward to Chase each week and will be very disappointed in NBC if Chase is cancelled.
Absolutely! I really like that show! You people are really stupid!
I liked this show, we looked forward to watching it. Y’all need a new rating system . Somehow the good shows you cancel and leave the crap on the air. Bring Chase back.
I think Chase is one of the best cop shows on tv I don’t see how they could cancel it.
Put it back on everything else on TV sucks.Everytime I get into a series you guys have to cut it.This is just as bad a Knightrider 2000.
We love Chase, can’t believe their even thinking of canceling it..bring it back!!!!
keep chase it’s the most exciting cop show next to svu, criminal minds, fringe. most of us tv watcher don’t have a black box but we like these shows
