Reception

Scott D. Pierce of Deseret News wrote, "Chasing Farrah is worth watching for at least one reason — it gives viewers a clue how celebrities can be so out of touch with reality. We get a glimpse of fans and flunkies fawning all over Fawcett, telling her how great she is all the time." [1] The Fort Worth Star-Telegram television critic Robert Philpot gave the show a grade of C, stating, "Fawcett is likable enough, but she's unusually tame for this sort of fare. In this genre, you need something outrageous to be worthy of sticking around." [2]

The Star-Ledger 's Matt Zoller Seitz said, "Rather than ignore the manipulations of so-called reality programming, Chasing Farrah folds them into the show. That's not enough to cancel out the familiarity of the show's concept, but it's intriguing all the same." [3] Steve Murray of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution gave the show a D, stating, "The producers even make a point about the aptness of the title: Even they don't seem to know why they're chasing Farrah, or, for that matter, who Farrah really is. The giggly, blonde-maned icon doesn't help them out much. It's like there's no there there worth chasing." [4]
