Matt Waters is an American drama television show which aired in 1996 on CBS. The program starred talk show host Montel Williams, and was created by James D. Parriott. The show, which was a midseason replacement, failed to garner a significant audience and was canceled after just six episodes. Williams played a retired naval officer who becomes a high school science teacher at Bayview High School, the school he had attended 25 years earier. Williams's character had returned home after his brother was killed in a gang related murder. Portions of the program were filmed at Bayonne High School in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Directed by James D. Parriott, Matt Waters leans on a strong ensemble — Sam McMurray, Nathaniel Marston, Montel Williams — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1996.
