Car Chases Gone Wild: NBC’s Greatest Hits

Back in February 2003, Los Angeles magazine editor-in-chief Mary Melton called L.A. car chases a “nightly staple.” Ten years later, all that’s changed about the trend is the list of TV dramas being interrupted for breaking footage of drivers refusing to pull over.
