More on Fred Freiberger
Description from Wikipedia:
Fred Freiberger (born on February 19, 1915; died March 2, 2003) was an American television producer and script writer. He is best known for his work as producer of the third and final season of science fiction series Star Trek from 1968–1969. He was later contracted by Gerry Anderson and became the producer of the British-made science fiction series Space: 1999 for its second season. He wrote three episodes for Space: 1999 under the pseudonym "Charles Woodgrove" as he had done when writing episodes of the Western series Rawhide.
Freiberger's career began as a writer for film in the 1940s, and by the late 1950s he was working extensively in television, writing Westerns and other genres. In 1960, he became producer of the popular medical drama, Ben Casey, which was followed by a stint as producer of The Wild Wild West during its first season in 1965-66. In 1968, Gene Roddenberry, as a result of differences with NBC, stepped down as showrunner for Star Trek, and Freiberger was hired as producer. The season was derided by critics and fans, was plagued by reduced production budgets from NBC, and was scheduled in the so-called Friday night death slot which resulted in it failing to attain sufficient ratings numbers to continue; it was cancelled in the spring of 1969.
Freiberger went on to write episodes for a number of popular early-1970s TV series, such as All in the Family, Emergency!, Starsky and Hutch, and Ironside before being hired to take over from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson as producer for the second season of Space:1999.
