It's Official: CBS Pulls Smith
By Jim Benson -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/6/2006 10:37:00 AM
In a move that had been expected, CBS has pulled its 10 p.m. Tuesday criminal mastermind drama Smith from the schedule, but a network spokesman declined to label it as a cancellation.
CBS will air a rerun of CSI this coming Tuesday and encores of Criminal Minds the following two weeks. There has been no decision yet about what will happen after that.
In its three outings so far, Smith has steadily declined, from a 3.6 rating/10 share to a 3.3/9 and a 2.8/8 this past week in adults 18-49.
CBS ordered 13 episodes of the series starring Ray Liotta from Warner Bros. TV. Production was underway on the seventh episode when the decision was made to yank it.

I cant believe CBS pulled Smith, I am so disappointed I stay in the Scotland,UK and when I saw the pilot I looked forward to watching future episodes. How can they justify cancelling so soon, they didnt give it a chance. All the actors worked really good together and storyline was interesting. Maybe they will see sense and give the program another go, or pass it to other tv stations that would see its potential. All we can do is hope.

I was upset myself when CBS pulled Smith off the air, I really do not think they gave it a good chance to run. I watch every show on the my computer and was ready to watch the last series when they just pulled off the web site. Does anyone know if perhaps they will put it out in DVD form? I thought the actors were very good. Oh well I guess we can watch Miss America and then read about them in the papers with The Don!!
