Television Review: Chase (2010)

I really want to like the new NBC series Chase because I have friends who have worked on the show and  I want to see more television shows filmed in the Dallas area.  It already had one strike against it because NBC slotted it against ABC's Castle which is one of my favorite shows over the last couple of seasons.

I caught the pilot episode of Chase during a Saturday night NBC encore presentation and found the thick Texas accents a little too Texan for my tastes.  I also took exception to U.S. Marshal Annie Frost lecturing a new, non-Texan, Deputy Marshal that if he wants to be successful working in Texas he'd better learn more about (Texas) music as it's "the quickest way to see into a person's soul," while another Marshal jokes that the new guy will last "about as long a fly in a frog swamp."  Unfortunately, that's longer than I suspect this show will last on the Peacock Network unless they Forget the Alamo and give it a new slot where it doesn't compete with Castle or CBS's Hawaii Five-O on Monday nights.
