Cheaters follows Joey and his team of private investigators as they
sneak their way into suspects' houses and plant surveillance cameras
to keep a beady eye on what the mice get up to when the cat's away.
Discretion and tact are never allowed to get in the way of a good
catfight on this show, and Grand's clients are always shown the
steamy evidence against their naughtier halves before being led
by the crew to confront them.

dangerous and devilishly clever: Daring Capers involves con artists
to cat burglars, who tiptoe through the high-stakes world of the
cunning crooks who mastermind the world's most daring capers. Daring

debonair con artists who tried to steal their way to wealth through
brilliant ploys and slick transactions.
