Doheny also directed television films. In 1974, he directed Houston, We've Got a Problem, the first dramatization of the Apollo 13 mission. In 1975, he directed The Unwanted, a drama about a plot to smuggle impoverished Irish immigrants from Canada into the United States. He was married to Margaret Mangan, and had three children. He died in Los Angeles at the age of 58.
