Smith may have gone from US TV screens, but it lives on online. CBS is going to sell all seven completed episodes via iTunes, AOL and Amazon.com and show them free for a month on its Innertube service. All of those are US only. Sorry.
UPDATE: Ooh, ooh! Innertube works in the UK for once! UK viewers can watch all those Smith episodes right now. Or they can wait till ITV airs them. I also forgot to mention that there are copious production notes on the CBS site that explain what would have happened in the subsequent episodes that didn’t get filmed.
UPDATE 2: Actually, only episode 4 is viewable in the UK. Maybe the earlier ones are, too, but 5 and 6 aren’t. Bugger.
