Smith is an American television drama that premiered on September 16, 2006 at 10:00 PM ET on CBS and on September 18, 2006 on CTV in Canada. Created by John Wells, the show follows a group of professional thieves who struggle to keep their work separate from the rest of their lives.
The leader of the group Bobby Stevens (played by Ray Liotta) seeks to end his criminal ways after a few more big scores. His plan is not successful and his wife Hope (Virginia Madsen) becomes suspicious. Bobby has a day job as a salesman for a paper cup manufacturer, which allows him to travel frequently. Each episode portrays a heist or preparation for other jobs the thieves plan to undertake. Ongoing subplots examine each of the characters' double lives, a necessity in order to stay one step ahead of the authorities and shield their families.
In the pilot episode the team's electronics expert Shawn (Mike Doyle) is fatally wounded by the Pittsburgh Police after the crew robs the fictional Tanner museum (actual Mellon Institute) in Annie's hometown of Pittsburgh and escapes with a dramatic downtown chase scene, complete with diversionary explosions, and switching to a speedboat at the Lawrence Center
