Fred Freiberger was created and elevated in New York’s Bronx. For some time, he proved helpful in marketing. During World Battle II, he became a member of the 8th Atmosphere Force being a navigator, was shot down and spent 22 a few months being a POW in Germany. Upon his repatriation, he briefly researched on the Institute of Film at Speed University and finally made his method to Hollywood on his Atmosphere Force back pay out. Hoping to secure a job being a publicist, Freiberger discovered himself sidelined by a business strike, staying unemployed and without money. While looking forward to the strike to become resolved, he begun to compose. He were able to sell his initial tale to Comet Productions, that was possessed by Mary Pickford. This is accompanied by his initial science-fiction work for an anthology Television series, The Clock (1949). Free-lancing through the next couple of years, he co-wrote the script for the cult traditional The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) and created the original tale for an excellent outdoor western, Backyard of Bad (1954), which starred Gary Cooper and Susan Hayward. Through the next a decade, Freiberger became probably one of the most prolific authors of traditional western teleplays available, focusing on such well-known fare as Cheyenne (1955), Rawhide (1959) and Laramie (1959). Freiberger’s 1st significant contribution to technology fiction was while producer from the Wild Wild Western (1965), that he was earned to devise clever cliffhangers and off-beat futuristic devices. This necessitated larger budgets and caused innovative clashes with CBS professionals who didn’t understand the show’s idea. Freiberger was sacked after ten shows.

Freiberger frequently butted mind with authors and directors and was criticised for overemphasizing actions at the trouble of character advancement. In the long run, many people laid blame for the cancellation of “Celebrity Trek” securely at Freiberger’s ft. Nobody, including William Shatner and Robert H. Justman) decided. Furthermore, NBC’s unreasonable re-slotting of “Celebrity Trek” towards the Fri ‘hour of loss of life’ (10 P.M.) was certainly a main contributing factor towards the show’s demise. After “Star Trek”, Freiberger got Space: 1999 (1975) to become found for second time of year, originating the brand new characters, dashing Tony Verdeschi and shape-shifting Maya (performed by Catherine Schell), in order to enhance ratings. He also penned three shows himself under nom de plume Charles Woodgrove. Nevertheless, the series didn’t survive and Freiberger’s following unsatisfied association with the ultimate time of year The Six Mil Dollar Guy (1974) place him once again in the general public mind like a scapegoat, making him in a few quarters the unkind, and certainly undeserved sobriquet ‘the series killer’. The 1st interracial kiss on U.S. tv (between Kirk and Uhura in the show “Plato’s Stepchildren”) occurred on his view, though the compliment visited Roddenberry who was simply not at all from the episode.
