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?

NBC is my least watched station and has been for years but for a few Sunday nights, it was my favorite station for one reason only, “The Chase”. One of the best shows of the year and to have canceled it without trying it on another night is another one of NBC’s dumb management of their programming. Put it back on on Monday night when TV is boring and brighten up our days again with the acting abiblites of Annie and her group of super people. Come on NBC, guit being so stupid.
I am a Chase fan and I also enjoyed Undercovers. Now I find myself with out each show.
Sorry NBC I guess you lost my viewership.

WTF!!!! I have loved NBC for a long time, as long as i can remember….but are you serious i was wondering what happened i am really missing it….F***ing NBC…..they wonder why their network is going down the toilet now and days….its because they do this to their viewers….idk about u guys but i am so pissed off…….first Conan and now this, and law and order and all these things…..you guys do not know how pissed off i am right now…….
Tried watching H-Five-O but loved Chase. Please bring it back – put it on a different night if you must, but there’s a lot of great action and drama in this show. Beats a “game show” any time / any day! “Annie” is a strong role model for professional women.
I love this show, it gets tiresome to get a new show that I like and get hooked on and enjoy watching just to have it dumped before it gets going good. Why not try a new time slot first.
I do not watch Hawaii Five O never have. Lovc CHASE Just Like this station to cancel a outstanding show. Just Like they did with Vegas Idiots.
I really love this show!! Please bring it back, so we can continue watching their adventures
i think they would have done a whole lot better if they based the show on a main thing like all shows do. like in Hawaii 5-o they based it on the main character finding his dads killer along the season. also castle on his books and her mom being killed also if they did something like these shows they would have gotten alot more people watching!
I love this show it is Texas ranger with a woman. One of the best shows in a long time I looked forward to watching it every week. Bring it back
Chase was a great tv show. I hate that it has been cancelled. There are lots of other shows that need to be taken off the air. I hope they get another chance.
This is/was an excellent show. Is it definitely cancelled? NBC you really disappoint your viewers!!!! As others here have stated, you cancel all the great shows and leave the crappy ones on the air!!! Why can’t you understand what it is we actually enjoy watching; what’s wrong with the powers that be there????!
I am in total agreement with most everything I have seen posted here thus far. A great show with an appealing cast and it is cancelled. I am so sick of reality TV I can’t stand it. You put a good show on, give us a great taste of what is to come and then pull the plug. Unbelieveable! Guess I will be heading to another network as well.
This is a dam shame A good show gone and you put all this other crap on.We will no longer watch your chanel
WE LOVE CHASE THIS WAS A VERY GOOD SHOW BUT THIS IS HOW THIS STATION DOES THINGS THE GOOD SHOWS ARE CANCELLED AND ALL THE CRAP ,AND STUPID STUFF STAYS ON.THIS IS WHY I WILL NO LONGER BE WATCHING YOUR CHANEL
It’s been awhile since i have found a show worth watching . I agree with other comments made that there are alot of shows on t.v that are not worth my time. It took a couple of episodes but, it has really grown on me.
