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. It is a great show. It brings me back to the days of A-team, Knight Rider, SWAT etc.
It’s a shame to take this off and leave other stupid things on. LEAVE IT ON
Keep it! its so good, i always enjoy watching a great episode of chase, i look forward to it each week! its fantastic.
Give Chase a CHANCE I love this show. Put it in a better time slot, where its not competing against a popular show. Please leave this show on.
Definitely keep it! I love It
“Chase” is my favorite tv show; please let me watch more episodes!
KEEP THE SHOW ! IT IS AWESOME
I have watched Chase since it began and will be disappointed if it is cancelled, I am already disappointed about the cancellation of Undercovers. Damn, television just isn’t the same, it isn’t worth watching anymore. The junk seems to stay and the programs with substance seems to get kicked off.
Love the show Chase, please keep it going!!!!
Sorry so late also,but i think its a great showcompared to some of those stupid ones ,that are on the air. So please keep the show.
Sorry so late but I believe Chase is a great show. Very little of the normal adult shows, profanity, nudity, and gore.
You should leave Chase on. Take off some of the stupid shows like the big bang.how I met your mother and all the really dumb shows. One comes along like Chase and what do you do , you put in oppisite castle which I do not like but a lot of people do. Pick a good time slot or sell it to a different network. The actors were great. I will miss it. Already do. forgive the mis spelled words.
I think you should keep the show. I love it. Every time you get something on I like it’s gone before I know it.
I chose it above its pretty tough competitors.
Liked it a lot.
Re-slot it and give it a chance.
Let the characters develop.
Keep the show, we love it and it was a nice chance for all of the STUPID reality T.V. shows that are on.
Amen! Keep it
