The series was created by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, who also served as executive producer alongside husband Harry Thomason and series star Robert Wagner. PremiseJames Culver (Wagner), a widower, raises his two daughters, Elizabeth (Smith) and Margaret Ann (Brewton) with his own father (Ayres) and investigates insurance cases with the British Edward Wingate (Standing). ProductionThe cast of Lime Street included veteran Hollywood star Robert Wagner and Samantha Smith. Smith, a schoolgirl in Manchester, Maine, had written then-Soviet premier Yuri Andropov a letter asking him whether he was truly desirous of a nuclear war with the United States, as she had heard suggested by some. He wrote her a reply stating that he was not, and then invited her to visit the Soviet Union; the event, which was followed by media in both countries and elsewhere around the world, gained her fame. Two versions exist of how Smith was cast into the show: one story states that she had caught the attention of Bloodworth-Thomason in early 1985 when the latter's brother-in-law spotted her on a talk show and suggested that she might fit the role of the elder daughter in the series, at that time known as J.G. Culver.[1] Another suggests that Wagner, who had first seen her on The Tonight Show, called her up, asking her to audition for the role.[2] Three episodes and the pilot had been shot when Smith was killed on August 25, 1985, in the crash of a small plane belonging to Bar Harbor Airlines.[2] Smith's death occurred prior to the airing of any of the programs, the premiere being on September 21. Although production continued, her role was never recast.[3] Auditions were held instead for a new character, another daughter to Wagner's character,[4] but the notion was entirely dropped. The plan had been for Samantha's character, Elizabeth, to live on off-screen, moving to Paris to be with her divorced mother. The show was subsequently dedicated to Smith's memory.[3] Critical reviews on Lime Street were not enamored of the program itself. Bill Kelley of the Sun-Sentinel said, "Apart from the fact that the pilot devotes a large volume of boring time to depicting Wagner's J.G. Culver character as a doting father, there is virtually nothing to separate Lime Street from such Wagner series as It Takes a Thief, Switch or Hart to Hart....The series pins its hopes squarely on the TV audience's fondness for the Wagner they have come to know over the years, rather than on plot turns or originality."[5] There was genuine praise for Smith's talents and acting ability in the few episodes she had completed. John Leonard of New York said "...Samantha was wonderful - gawky but sincere, life-loving, a saint with bangs...."[6] However, the series had trouble finding much of an audience, mainly due to competition from NBC's Top 20 hits The Golden Girls and 227, both also debuting that same season.[3] The fifth episode aired on ABC on October 26, 1985, after which the show was cancelled at the request of the producers,[3] the episodes recorded after Smith's death having made them realize that going on with production had not been a wise decision.[7][8] However, three then-unaired episodes were shown on the Lifetime network in 1987.[7] Cast
