A "Flop" Maybe, But...


Shelley starred in the 1983 TV series Cutter to Houston. It was the second time she was cast as a regular in weekly show (Charlie's Angels was the first.) The show was about a trio of doctors who were assigned to a small-town hospital in Cutter, Texas and got assistance from a big city hospital in Houston, Texas, via a computer hook up and a helicopter. In December that year, US magazine reported the show a "Flop" when it was canceled after only seven episodes. But it also reported that "the scripts were fine and the operations mostly successful." So a "Flop" maybe, but only because not many people tuned in (sleeper hits were unheard of at the time.)
