The Steve Spots written and directed by David Van Hooser, is easily one of the most rewarding television projects of Chambers’ career.

This thirty-seven episode series won six Emmys, two Gold Tellys and the prestigious George Peabody Award.

Playing the title character of Steve gave Chambers his first opportunity to work in front of the camera and taught him just how important television could be.
It happened one night when NBC aired The Steve episode on suicide. A young teenage girl was watching, a gun loaded in her hand. Her parents were out of the house and she had chosen this moment to end her life.

After watching the episode and the way the characters dealt with the suicide of their friend, the young girl called the station. With the help of Vanderbilt Medical Center the show was able to get her treatment. Later the young girl had the opportunity to tell Chambers about her experience. It is a lesson he won’t ever forget.

The Steve Spots ended its run with an NBC special called The Parent Zone which also received numerous Emmys. But, more importantly The Parent Zone gave Chambers his only chance to act with Betsy, a young actress who six months later would be his wife.
