The 70's (until the very end in 1979) were very lean years for Shatner's acting career so he did quite a few commercials.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
Correct. That episode originally aired in 1963 so three years before ST: TOS.

You've got that right. Without him Airplane 2 would have been a totally forgettable sequel.

I've never seen Airplane 2. Looking at the comments, that 7 minutes with Shatner was the best of the movie. That opening gag with the door was just lol.

Actually, IMHO, it a rare example of a sequel to a movie being pretty good. I highly suggest checking out.
.I remember him as an astronaut in an Outer Limits episode from 1964,
Heh, who knows? It might have been this performance which caught the attention of Gene Roddenberry.

Not much of a Shatner fan myself, but I'm a massive Columbo fan. And Shatner's character in one of his appearances (Butterfly in Shades of Grey) had in mind to shoot Columbo. No one shoots Columbo! Thankfully his plan was foiled, as Columbo considers all.
Shatner appeared in at least two episodes that I can recall offhand. One in the late 70's and this one in the mid-90s.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Columbo ran into the mid 90's??

Yeah it was a reboot of sorts. It ran (again) from 1989 to 2003 with prominent actors of the period like Andrew Stevens, Dabney Coleman and Norm from Cheers. These run every Saturday night on Cozi TV. Leads in to the Six Million Dollar Man

+1!
Big Columbo fan here as well...been watching them forever. I liked Shatner's character in the 70's version episode as a TV sleuth matching wits with Columbo...good stuff!
Leonard Nimoy also had a good character in an early Columbo episode as a surgeon.

Oddball from Kelly's Heroes: "If we're late, it's cause we're dead"
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
