Smith is gone; Kidnapped might as well be…
CBS has cancelled (”placed on hiatus”) the Ray Liota-fronted Smith, while NBC has told the producers of Kidnapped to wrap up the storyline in the thirteen-episode order, and has banished the show to the vast television wasteland of Saturday night.
The carnage begins…

Gotta love those copy-and-paste comments…you’d think they’d be excited aboiut a better series than Smith, though. –cfs3
For those of you upset that CBS cancelled Smith, consider filing a complaint.
With enough viewer complaints, CBS may reconsider its cancelling of the marvelous fast-paced Smith with its excellent cast including Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Simon Baker and Amy Smart and the show’s superb writing.
Blame it on CBS’s bad marketing, its only giving the show three episodes of airtime, and CBS’s lack of promoting online viewing of earlier episodes of Smith for those who needed to catch up.
CBS could have given a better re-cap at the beginning of episodes for new viewers just tuning in. It could have re-run the episodes during off-hours, much like Bravo does, to allow viewers to catch up.
To complain, call CBS Audience Services at any time day or night to leave a message, or, to reach a live person, call during the hours of 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. EST - telephone CBS audience services at 212-975-3247.
You may also email audsvcs@cbs.com (short for audience services).
You may also go to CBS’s feedback form online to submit your complaint at http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.shtml Smith is still listed in the shows on that feedback form.
You may also sign this online petition to CBS to bring back Smith. http://www.petitiononline.com/cbssmith/petition.html
