He was on other shows, such as The Virginian, The Big Valley, and of course, Boston Legal, and others. In one classic Boston Legal episode, they showed clips of a very young Shatner with Ralph Bellamy, as lawyers from a 1950s show.
That show you "mentioned" was called THE DEFENDERS. It ran on CBS for 4 seasons {1961-1965.} 2 years before he would construct his "office" {courthouses other buildings, etc}. and wound up in the same line of business as Wilbur Post; Robert Reed was also on this show.
Clarrification: The Defenders starred Reed and E.G. Marshall as father and son. Shatner played Reed's role in the pilot 4 years earlier, and that clip was used as Denny Crane's first case. Fun Fact: the 1957 client was Steve McQueen pre-WDOA!
D'oh! I forgot he was in Airplane II. I was thinking of the first movie.
