Carey wrote scripts for a host of television dramatic series during the 1960's, 70's, and 80's -- for both daytime and nightime shows. Perhaps the most well-known of his work was  "The Ice Princess", a bizarre science fiction story line that made General Hospital one of the most talked-about shows in the history of television in 1981.

The 1960's television series Tarzan featured more episodes by Carey Wilber than almost any other writer. In addition, Carey authored two full-length movies: Tarzan and the Four O'Clock Army (1968), and Tarzan and the Perils of Charity Jones (1967).

Other shows Carey wrote for included Emergency!, It Takes a Thief, Lancer, and The Rogues.
