Didn't Gene Roddenberry produce the second season of SPACE:1999? No, but another famous STAR TREK producer did--Fred Freiberger, who produced the third season of STAR TREK for NBC and who was hired to replace the outgoing Sylvia Anderson in an attempt to make 1999 more palatable for the U.S. audience, which was the only country where 1999 was even close to the success originally desired.
