Mr & Mrs Smith Wonderful, short-lived series from the mid-1990s, about two spies working for private interests, sometimes pretending to be a married couple, using the code names Mr & Mrs Smith. Not all the episodes were great, but the good ones were very good. Then along came a movie which allegedly was not a remake of this TV series, with the same basic plot, and for some reason everyone remembers the copy.
