Scapegoat?

Shelley on the cover of the Greek mag Manina, 1980

Shelley joined the cast of Charlie's Angels in 1979; but by 1980, she was leaving the show. It seems the show was down in the ratings and the blame was being put on Shelley's shoulders. It's quite astonishing since she wasn't given much to say or do during the start of the season (which was when the ratings began to drop); so she was supposed to save the show by her "mere presence alone"? There was so much fanfare and interest in her when she joined the cast; and then when the season started, after the second episode, you hardly heard from her. They said she couldn't act, but how come she gave good performances in Death Car on the Freeway and the Love Boat episode she was in? Both aired during her Angels season. Could she have been a mere scapegoat? They "can say I didn't work out, but it isn't true. What happened was a network war. A business decision was made. Change the time slot or bring in some publicity. How to get publicity? A new Angel hunt. Who is the obvious person to replace? I am — the new kid on the block," Shelley told People magazine in 1980.

Cutter to Houston Premiere Promo

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.
