Robert Butler Dies: TV Director For ‘Batman,’ ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Hill Street Blues’ & ‘Moonlighting’ Pilots Was 95
He did the Cage and The Menagerie. I liked his episodes on Columbo (double shock and publish or perish).
The bulk of "The Menagerie" was Marc Daniels, but obviously the footage from "The Cage" was Butler's.
Those two episodes still gave us the character of Christopher Pike which gave us Strange New Worlds so I will mourn this man.
