http://deadline.com/2014/11/glen-a-larson-iconic-tv-creator-of-knight-rider-magn...All of GLEN A. LARSON's shows may not have been great, but, he certainly had his finger on the pulse of the public during the 70s & 80s.
His SF shows BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25 CENTURY were turned into feature films (two BATTLESTAR movies have played the Marathon). He also did genre related items like KNIGHTRIDER, AUTOMAN, NIGHTMAN, MANIMAL etc.
His most critically acclaimed series were QUINCY M.E. and MAGNUM P.I..
A TV legend for certain. R.I.P.
