He wrote the 1953 story "It's a Good Life", which was included in ''The Science Fiction Hall of Fame''.

He wrote four episodes for the ''Star Trek'' series: "Mirror, Mirror", "Day of the Dove", "Requiem for Methuselah", and "By Any Other Name". With Otto Klement, he co-wrote the story upon which the science fiction movie ''Fantastic Voyage'' (1966), the related television series, and the related Isaac Asimov novel were based. Bixby's final produced or published work so far was the screenplay for the 2007 science fiction film ''The Man from Earth''.
