He directed hundreds of television episodes from Wagon Train to Star Trek. Pevney helmed several TOS episodes that are widely regarded as being among the best of the series

More about Pevney at the Internet Movie Database.
His obituary can be found here.
The original Star Trek episode "Amok Time" introduced the Vulcan home world, and was in fact the first time viewers would see Vulcans interacting with one another. During the shooting of the episode, Leonard Nimoy felt that something was missing, that Vulcans should be seen as having a deep and complex culture. So, rather than shaking hands like Westerners, or bowing like Asians, Nimoy suggested to director Joseph Pevney that Vulcans should have their own distinctive greeting. "What do you have in mind?" asked Pevney. After some thought, Nimoy held his hand up in an unusual but now familiar gesture. Pevney liked the idea, and the rest is history.
