''Undercovers'' is a lighthearted espionage drama from [[JJJ.J. Abrams]] and co-creator Josh Reims. Word from [[NBC]] is that it will avert the [[Noughties Drama Series]] formula of Abrams shows like ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'' and increasingly ''[[Fringe]]'', concentrating on self-contained episodes.
 
Steven and Samantha Bloom are a married couple operating a catering business in Los Angeles. They are also once-formidable agents with the Central Intelligence Agency. Through assistant director Carlton Shaw, they are re-enlisted to rescue—or capture—missing agent Leo Nash.
Line 33:
* [[Good People Have Good Sex|Good People Have Good Sexpionage]]
* [[Happily Married]]
* ~Hey, It's That Guy!~: Samantha looks a lot like [[Doctor Who (TV)|Martha's little sister Tish]].
*** [[Uncanny Family Resemblance|Probably a cousin]].
** And Steven looks like [[Resident Evil Afterlife (Film)|Luther]].
** The Blooms run missions for [[Major Dad]].
** In 1.02, [[Burn Notice|Nate Westen]] took espionage lessons from his big brother.
** [[Alias (TV series)|Julian Sark]] shows up in episode 7 as a reporter / corrupt oil executive. His name? Matt ''[[Mission Impossible|Hunt]]''.
** Hoyt tried to buy a nightclub with [[Parks and Recreation|Tom Haverford]].
** Apparently [[Dollhouse|Boyd]] and [[Dollhouse|Victor]] are involved in busting and aiding (respectively) the world of counterfeit.
Line 52:
* [[Minored in Asskicking]]: Hoyt. At first you thing that Hoyt was just a techie, but he showed that he had game!
* [[The Other Marty]]: Mekia Cox replaced Jessica Parker Kennedy as Lizzie in the original pilot.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: The show has been described as ''[[Hart to Hart]]'' (or ''[[Mr. and Mrs. Smith]]'') <small>WITH A BLACK COUPLE</small>!
* [[The Resolution Will Not Be Televised]]: Though episodes were still airing after the cancellation was announced NBC has held back on airing the season/series finale.
* [[Running Gag]]: Every episode has an ongoing fight between the Blooms, ranging from Samantha's "sexpionage" to Steven not-reading the directions for an espresso machine to reliance on technology.
