Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #2 Gist of the Show: Smith is about a group of thieves who travel the country and keep their “thieving� lives and “personal� lives separate. Each episode of Smith portrays a different heist. Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory: Ray Liotta. Similar in Theme to: "True Lies", "Mr. And Mrs. Smith". Time Slot Competition: Boston Legal, Law & Order: SVU Likelihood of Second Season: 65% Final Word: Maybe I shouldn't have ranked Smith this high, it's buzz is minimal, but it looks pretty darn cool to me. The cast is great (I'm a big Amy Smart fan) and Ray Liotta is a bad ass. If Smith makes the different heists look cool, I'll be watching. (True Story: A few years back I was going to school in LA, and my roommate and I decided to go see a movie. It was around noon, mid-week, in the winter. We're in the air-conditioned theater, waiting for Martin Scorsese's “The Aviator� to start. There are roughly eight people in this large theater, so I decide to drape my legs over the seat in front of me. All of a sudden, a contingent of 12 or so elderly people meander into the theater. As I said, the theater is empty. However, a couple of these aforementioned elderly individuals decide that their seats of choice are the seats over which my legs are draped. Reluctantly, I move my legs, but remain mildly offended. Without notice, a man, roughly eight seats to our left, lets out a large grunt towards us. “F!@#$ing old people!� he says, semi-loudly. We look over at the man. It's Ray Liotta, sitting alone, munching on popcorn.) -Oscar Dahl << Return to 2006 Fall Preview: New Shows 1-10
