Buck Houghton
Houghton reached a pinnacle in his career when he was hired by Bill Self at CBS to produce the first 39 episodes of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" in its original half-hour format. When the network insisted the fourth season consist of hour-long shows, Buck decided it was time to move on. His subsequent collaboration with dramatist Clifford Odets, "The Richard Boone Show" (1963–64) was the only repertory company on television, in which a resident cast of actors played different roles in a TV play every week. It was nominated for the Outstanding Dramatic Series Emmy Award in 1964.
Other credits include seasons of "High Chaparral", "Leave it to Beaver", "Harry O"., "Hawaii 5-O" and the American Zoetrope film, "The Escape Artist."
