RIP Glen A. Larson, Creator of Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica, Magnum PI, $6M Man, more

From the Hollywood Reporter:

And not just those. Also The Fall Guy, Quincy M.E., and more. A hell of a lot of 70s and 80s TV culture started with this one writer/producer.

He will be sorely missed. I can only hope Glen & Stephen J. Cannell are together working on that Knight Rider/A-Team crossover I've always wanted.

They weren't shows I grew up with, but that's a lot of geek cred right there. Plus, we never would've had the updated BSG without him. So rock on, sir!

These were shows I grew up with and always enjoyed. Like most things, some hold up, others do not but in this era of Netflix I was able to remind myself of how much I loved his output. RIP

Man... a good portion of my brain was nurtured by that man's work. There was NOTHING better than watching the Six Million Dollar Man, and later Battlestar Galactica, when I was a kid.

Speaking of Larson, someone is trying to convince the "powers that be" that a upgrading / re-mastering of the original series is in order and here is their sizzle reel. Looks good.
