I totally agree with Mrs. Johnny Williams (Viewers’ Views, June 23) about the cancellation of ABC’s “Matt Houston.” It’s absurd. To cancel the series without pairing Houston and C. J. in some way is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. The chemistry between Lee Horsley and Pamela Hensley as Houston and C. J. was excellent, and putting them together would have done wonders for the show. Thanks to a dumb move on ABC’s part, however, what could have been prime-time television’s best couple is now a lost cause.
