Probably inspired by the 2005 movie...though I haven&apos;t seen the film.

I have never seen the 2005 film &quot;Mr. and Mrs. Smith&quot;, though I know about the movie. So, it&apos;s easy to recognize the similarities between this film and the 2007 television pilot that was inspired by the film....but isn&apos;t a remake nor sequel. Instead of both spouses being assassins who are trying to kill each other (the film), they both are squabbling assassins who have no intention of killing the other.

This isn&apos;t a spoiler, as the summary on IMDB says both spouses are assassins in the witness protection program. If it didn&apos;t say that and you didn&apos;t read it, you might initially assume that she is the assassin and he&apos;s a clueless husband. However, later in the pilot he follows her to Prague because he assumes she&apos;s cheating on him. She&apos;s actually on an assignment...and then you start to see all of his ninja-like skills come into play.

It&apos;s not surprising that the network didn&apos;t hire Anjelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to reprise their roles...it would have cost a fortune. And, with a slightly retooled plot, having the original actors wasn&apos;t as necessary.

So is this show any good and should they have given the series the go-ahead? Well, the show looked pretty good and the actors were pretty good as well. While I wasn&apos;t thrilled with the show, it did show promise and it might have proven to be an interesting weekly series. Seeing them roam the world having assassiny adventures might have worked...but I guess we&apos;ll never know.
