RIP Mr Larson.  I loved so many of the TV shows he was involved with, and they formed the basis of much of my childhood viewing.

What? Huh? Damn!!!
I don't know how I missed this news bit till now, but I'm extremely bummed to hear about it...

The original "Battlestar Galactica" blew my mind when I was a kid and is still a sentimental favorite to this day. "Knight Rider" was another childhood fave, and my kids are digging it on Netflix now!!

Thanks for the memories and R.I.P. Mr. Larson.

 :bluesad: R.I.P. Many of his TV Series played a major role in my childhood viewing with family....Six Million Dollar Man, Hardy Boys, BSG, Buck Rogers, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I....but the glowing red eye will live on I'm sure.

Ozzymandias speaks: Two of my favorites were Alias Smith and Jones and Buck Rogers. This is where it began for Glen Larson, as one of the Four Preps.

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

Yes:

Hardy Boys
Battlestar Galactica - absolutely love the theme music!  Seemed like a Star Wars cash-in in hindsight, but I still loved it.
Six Million Dollar Man
Knight Rider
Buck Rogers
Manimal
Cover Up (Jon Erik Hexum)

I am only just realizing how much of my childhood was filled with Glen Larson TV shows.  Just as much as Stephen Cannell.  I even watched some of One West Waikiki and Night Man when they were on TV.
