Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
ABC burned off four unaired episodes in summer 2002 at 1 AM, which is somehow the perfect energy for this show.
This arrived right as USA's 'Monk' proved crime-consultant premises could work — 'Thieves' just couldn't find its Monk. The cancellation paved the way for Melissa George's 'Alias' arc, so thank this mess for that.
