Mr. & Mrs. Smith

First Johnny Bago..now this. CBS needs a kick in the ass for cancelling a great show like this. I loved this series...

The cast was great the premise was great and they screwed up--

Oh well maybe it was for the better-not.

Series is based on two spy's being recruited by a intelligence agency to work together and pose as man and wife. What made the show exceptional was this: They were career spies, who had worked for various unnamed agencies in the past, possibly at cross purposes.

While they are eager to get the job done and learn to work together and trust each other, they are careful to avoid exposing their true identities, past accomplishments or special skills - because these are the secrets a spy lives by and the last person you want to give that information to is another spy you may be working against the next time around.

So you end up with a show full of undercurrents as they get to know each other and respect each other as equals. Who is this person? Did I ever run into them in the past without knowing it? Did I ever get in their way? Did they ever get in mine? Where have I seen that technique before? Was he/she there? Does he/she have info about something that happened that I never resolved to my satisfaction? It's been so long I don't remember specific episode plots or details about their pasts, but the undercurrent of curiosity about the other person battling each characters need for secrecy was what I remember most.

i loved this show and felt that it shouldn't have been cancelled. it had the suspense, the mystery, the excitement and as in all shows, the sexual tension between the 2 lead characters. i was utterly disappointed that they had to cancel the series in its beginning stages. Maria Bello was fantastic in the show and so was Scott Bakula. It was one of the better tv shows around.

Looking back now I really wish CBS could have kept "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the air a while longer than it did,it was a decent and fun comedy-drama to watch.There may have been 13 episodes but I swear CBS did not show them all,so sad.

About two adventurers, who were married,going around the world on secret missions,the show's stars Scott Bakula and Maria Bello should have been more than enough to guarantee success.Maria Bello is soooooo cute here it is unbelievable CBS cut this show when they did.Bello was just hitting her stride here as an actress. I want to see the 13 episodes just to see her like that again,young,cute and fresh.She and Bakula had a good thing going.

But I guess the network didn't want a watered down version of Moonlighting or Scarecrow And Mrs.King,but Mr. And Mrs. Smith wasn't that.It was a decent effort with a great cast and it had everything going for it.....except more time.

I still don't understand the reasons of its cancellation. Low ratings? It's hard to believe cause the show had a big potential. Its creators Kerry Lenhart and John J. Sakmar did a great job. It was a very entertaining Action/Adventure series with great plot, acting, directing, editing etc. Call me silly but I didn't know Maria Bello and Scott Bakula until this TV show came out on my local channel. I became a huge fan of these 2 and started watching their other projects. "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" was truly amazing and catchy spy series. You would like it guys. It was as great as "Spy Game" (1997) - another superb spy series that was canceled too soon
