screen captures of Shelley, Alec Baldwin and Jim Metzler
in their new series Cutter to Houston, 1983
In 1983, Shelley starred in her second TV series Cutter to Houston. It was about three young doctors from the world-famous Texas Medical Center in Houston who were recruited to run a small hospital in the fictional rural town of Cutter, Texas. Shelley played ambitious surgeon Dr. Beth Gilbert, while Alec played internist/ladies man Dr. Hal Wexler and Jim played the idealistic GP Dr. Andy Fenton. All three had their reasons for being there, a stepping stone for Beth, a probation for Hal and a thank you for hometown boy Andy, who was sent through medical school by Cutter. The series was put in a bad time-slot and, in spite of some good reviews, was canceled after just seven episodes, leaving two finished episodes unaired during its initial run. Let's hope the series is finally released in DVD.
