R.I.P. Glen A. Larson, 1937-2014

The prolific TV writer/creator/producer gave us The Six Million Dollar Man, McCloud, The Fall Guy, Battlestar Galactica, Quincy M.E., Magnum, P.I., and many other beloved shows.

From The Hollywood Reporter: "Glen A. Larson, Creator of TV’s 'Quincy M.E.,' 'Magnum, P.I.' and 'Battlestar Galactica,' Dies at 77"

You have to admire his versatility -- he gave us detective shows, cop shows, sci-fi, adventure shows, Westerns, and more. On the other hand, many of his shows were carbon copies of successful movies; I recall one TV critic saying his initials should be "V.C.R.", and Harlan Ellison called him "Glen Larceny."

  • Whenever I hear his name, I think of this.

  • I was thinking he did Airwolf as well but that was Bellasario. If nothing else I always know those two series from the great music they had.

    I grew up watching all of his shows, never really noticed who produced them. But I do remember the shows.
