Directed the pilot episodes (remember, they aired on consecutive nights) of 
"Batman" (with those "Dutch angle" shots of the villains!), original "Star 
Trek" pilot "The Cage" (we all know what happened with that), and "Hogan's 
Heroes," all in the mid-60s, and "Hill Street Blues"' opener in 1980 (aired 
Jan '81), a show he wanted to look "messy"... also co-created "Remington 
Steele," and helmed the pioneering Joe Wambaugh miniseries *The Blue 
Knight,* for which he won two Emmys, followed by one for "Blues"... Nov 3rd 
in L.A.; 95.
