Marshal Drama CHASE!!
I am – Hercules!!
NBC just announced its fifth new series order in eight days.
“Chase,” from writer-producer Jennifer Johnson (“Lost,” “Cold Case”), sounds like a distaff “Justified” (or an out-West version of “Karen Sisco”) following hot blonde Texas-based U.S. marshal service deputy Annie Frost (Kelli Giddish, fresh off Fox disaster “Past Life”) as she and her team track down fugitives.
It’s also from Jerry Bruckheimer, whose TV resume includes long-running hits:
CSI
CSI Miami
CSI NY
The Amazing Race
Cold Case
Without A Trace
And not:
Miami Medical
The Forgotten
Dark Blue
Eleventh Hour
Close To Home
Justice
Just Legal
E-Ring
Modern Men
Skin
Soldier of Fortune Inc.
Look! Press release!
NBC PICKS UP NEW DRAMA SERIES ‘CHASE,’ FROM JERRY BRUCKHEIMER, FOR 2010-11 SEASON
Drama Becomes NBC’s Fifth New Scripted Series Announced for New Season
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – May 10, 2010 – NBC has picked up its fifth scripted series pilot for the 2010-11 season in “Chase,” a new drama from Emmy Award-winning executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (“CSI” franchise, “The Amazing Race,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” films) and executive producer Jennifer Johnson (“Cold Case”).
The announcement was made by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.
“Chase” joins previously announced "Undercovers," "The Event," "Love Bites," and "Outsourced" as the fifth new scripted series currently announced for NBC’s new season with additional pickups yet to be announced.
“'Chase’ has all the undeniable elements of a thrill ride that you would expect from a Jerry Bruckheimer action series,” said Bromstad. “Equally important, it also features a great cast. Kelli Giddish is a breakout star as the lead.”
“Chase” is a fast-paced drama that drops viewers smack into the middle of a game of cat-and-mouse as a team of U.S. marshals hunts down America's most dangerous fugitives. Kelli Giddish (“Past Life”) stars as U.S. Marshal Annie Frost, a cowboy boot-wearing deputy whose sharp mind and unique Texas upbringing help her track down the violent criminals on the run.
Cole Hauser (“K-Ville”), Amaury Nolasco (“Prison Break”), Rose Rollins ("The L Word”) and Jesse Metcalfe (“Desperate Housewives”) also star as members of Frost’s elite team.
“Chase” is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc., in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Warner Bros. Television. Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman (“CSI” franchise, “The Amazing Race,” "Cold Case”) and Johnson serve as executive producers, while KristieAnne Reed is co-executive producer. David Nutter (“The Mentalist,” “Without a Trace” “The X-Files”) directed and is executive producer of the pilot which was written by Johnson.
NBC announces its fall schedule one week from today.

but does it matter?
-
Jesse Metcalfe is hopeless, Cole Hauser hasn't impressed me since Higher Learning and I have no clue what Amaury Nosalco is saying half the time he speaks. Dude has a case of the mumbles. Don't know either of the women. Will not watch.
-
are impressing me. It's like they're going for broke or something.
-
Runny mush
-
Already do one of these? it's like in it's third season? Are the big main networks just copying USA now? How long till we have a 'fired spy uses his skills and dark humor and crew to help out the helpless'. Oh wait..wasn't that Leverage? A-Team wasn't former spies, so that doesn't count.
-
the fucking same? It seems like movies are starting to do it too. I blame the Sopranos for this.
-
Looks MEH all the fucking way!
-
isn't this a reboot of the 1970s Chase TV series with Mitch Ryan? Yeah I remember it!!
-
Blech!
-
Hard to think of more than one or two quality shows.
-
That was the first thing I thought, AND THEN I saw that they recruited Nolasco/Sucre to join this team. Is this some kind of "nudge nudge" by the showrunners?
-
Blame Michael Bay. It's called The Armegeddon Walk.
-
It's another cast of multi-ethnic characters (featuring a hot girl with reddish hair), marching toward me to kick my ass. <br> <br> Dear publicity departments: I will gladly watch a show where the cast aren't angrily stalking toward me for a beat down.
-
We get the publicity photo that mimics The Last Supper. <br> <br> -Sopranos <br> -Lost <br> -Battlestar Galactica <br> <br> Every one of them did a Last Supper spread. <br> <br> Please publicity teams. Excite us with an original idea.
-
Do they even know their entire purpose is to sell cars, fast food, and pharmaceuticals?

Wanna bet one of the women have a chip on her shoulders?
by HollywoodHellraiser
And one of the guys is tired of the one-night stands and is sensitive? LOL
-
I'll stick with Justified - the real deal.
-
There are too many US Marshall shows on right now<p> In Plain Sight<p> Justified<p> ...
-
....like he did on Southland?
-
Combine one of these US Marshall shows with CSI and you've got network gold!!! Call it Texas Rangers CSI and get Chuck Norris to do a cameo in the pilot and you've got at least a 44 episode guarantee!!!
-
I'm curious where House is going to go with him dropping out of therapy, on the verge of heading into a self-destructive tail spin, possibly losing both Wilson AND Cuddy, and slipping back down the road to substance abuse. With Lost ending, House seems the only really engaging show left amongst the shows I watch.<p><p>The point relative to these threads? Nothing NBC is throwing out there sounds particularly all that great. Including this. Even with my TV-watching schedule clearing up next season. I'll pass.<p><p>-Cheers
-
That'll be sure to turn things around for fledgling NBC!
-
His stint on LOST is done, and he was a U.S. Marshal, on THE MARSHAL in 1995.
-
There's no way this show will be able to touch the great dialogue and characterizations of "Justified." It sounds like a hacky version of that great series and is going to suffer horribly in comparison.
-
SUPER believable, Jerry & Co. Seriously, how is it that every person in this TB can see plain as day that this is doomed to failure, yet the douches that pick shows keep on greenlighting the same shit? Are they really that moronic?
-
The Black duo who are in charge are making the disposable white assistants walk out as front to serve as human shields. That's a good strategy. <br /> <br /> Grace Hanadarko on Saving Grace has been wearing jeans and cowboy boots and kicking ass for three years now.
-
...the destined-to-fail piece of shit it will no doubt turn out to be, especially if the poster is any indication.
-
Or not.<p>Gotta agree with everyone. Dear overpaid publicity staff: get a clue and form an original idea for fucking once when it comes to promoting a new show.<p>ESPECIALLY when you're pimping a new show that really is gonna look like a network, slicked up and shitted up version of JUSTIFIED.<p>Based on one still alone I rate this epic fail.
-
After all, a woman doing a "mans" job means she's got to swing with the ladies.<br /><br />This looks ridiculous.
-
The blonde white girl will be the man eating slut character. Just watch. It'll happen.
-
CBS can't have all the fun, can they? This will be U.S. Marshal-lite for those who don't get cable, where there is already a pretty good, and a promising series both featuring them.
-
ffs, at least it's not a damn reality or game show. Thank God NBC is turning back to scripted drama and comedy. As for the quality of this, I'm gonna be neutral until I, like, SEE at least a preview, not having precognition like everyone else here.
-
She did play one on the L Word, so you might be right.<p>"a woman doing a "mans" job means she's got to swing with the ladies."<p>Unless she's doing a gay man's job.<p><br>Not much of a "Chase" if all they do is walk down the road. <br>"Oh no, Marshals are walking toward me in formation; I have no way to get away unless I hop in my car, or maybe just walk a little faster".<br>Looks like half of them are going to get wiped out by the dude just around the bend in the rental car trying to figure out his cruise control.
-
That made me fucking laugh, seriously! :)
-
in different clothes to show their individuality . . . THEY ALL HAVE THEIR SHIRTS TUCKED IN! What a bunch of ROUGHRIDERS!!! Pass.
-
Who in this modern day and age doesn't have cable by now? Really? It's not 1989.
-
cable+sat. reached 90% penetration last year. Depending on who you believe, there are between 115-126 million TV households in the U.S. 10% of that is still a sizable number. There is no readily available breakdown of basic cable vs. expanded vs. premium.<br><br>In hindsight, the distinction between those who "get" cable rather than "have" it should have been made clearer. Those who have cable don't necessarily watch the channels that carry what people here would consider a notch above the network fare, even if they subscribe to a package that has those channels. The a la carte supporters could probably provide the statistics showing how many channels subscribers actually watch, and in what proportions.
