Thieves

The chemistry between Johnny and Rita makes for an enjoyably curious evening each Friday night. John Stamos is again his funny self, yet at the same time delivers a side I haven't seen much -- action and drama. So this show has it all! Very nice and refreshing new series. Both of the main stars look great and their acting is really good, and the stories make sense. The addition of Tone Loc however is surprising, considering he's yet another rap star-turned-actor, but with a very strange voice of course. I guess he's somewhat convincing for his role, but we'll see.

Two TV stars John Stamos (Full House) and Melissa George (Home And Away) star in "Thieves" as Johnny and Rita, two professional thieves who, after being caught, are given an ultimatum by the Government: serve time in jail or serve America.

And so, Johnny and Rita are blackmailed into stealing things for the U.S. Government. Of course, the mounting sexual tension is there, the quick wit is there and the cool butt-kicking fight scenes are there. It's perfectly made television.

An hour escape a week - let's face it - the world of 'Thieves' is much more interesting than who's dying on 'E.R.' or who's kissing who on 'Dharma And Greg'! Let's hope this action-packed crime-comedy will be around for a while. 10/10

This series seemed like it had promise. A flexible premise, a tongue in cheek sense of humor, and the ever-telegenic John Stamos at the helm. So what happened? I'd lay the blame with the show's direction. Both action and humor require exquisite pacing...yet scene after scene thuds along with no sense of momentum or energy. The pictures are framed nicely, the talents know their lines - and yet it seems no one behind the camera knows how to breathe life into a scene. A pity...and entirely unsurprising that the series died almost immediately. Here's hoping that Stamos, a genuinely appealing performer, can find talent behind the camera to match his own next time.

Now i'm a big fan of John Stamos(Johnny), but there is a new babe on t.v. and she is SEXY! Her name is Mellisa George(Rita), and she kicks butt! The show is based on two thieves who get caught and have to work for the FBI and the pilot episode say they will keep doing jobs or go to prison. It's really a promising show and I like it a lot! Very sexy and action is non stop. Just watch every Friday at 8pm central. A great show and Mellisa George is just delicious and sexy. Out of 4 stars it a strong 4! Must new t.v.

I thought that this was the best new show of the fall--even better than Scrubs and Alias (which have garnered a lot more praise). Action, charm , romance, humor--this show had it all. It also had the kind of fiery chemistry between leads (Stamos and George) that doesn't come along very often. I hope any fans of the show who read this won't let ABC cancel "Thieves" without letting the network know how they feel about it.
