So now we've lost the creator of Night Rider, Battlestar Galactica, Magnum P.I., Quincy, Manimal, Buck Rodgers, The Fall Guy, Automan & BJ & The Bear.....

A hell of a year for losing people connected with my childhood memories! I must be getting old! :(

    I have good memories of Automan, especially when he turns into a car and his passenger is flung against the windows.

    I didnt like Battlestar Galactica despite liking Scifi.

    Wow, end of an era. So many memories watching the shows he was responsible for. Knight Rider has to be my favourite though. RIP Glen

    Man that's sad, I loved his stuff.

    Battlestar Galactica, despite the too often repeating of the same special effects was something that could've been soo much greater had it been given a chance. If you watch it as an adult I feel you do get more out of it story wise.

    But I do love many of his other shows, and have Galactica, Buck Rogers and Knight Rider on DVD.

    His name sounds familiar to me, seen in many TV show credits of those years... "created by Glenn A. Larson"

    Rest in peace.

    I'm a big fan of his, very sad news. Currently watching Magnum reruns on ITV4, great show and Alias Smith and Jones too.

    This is a shame, he's definately a TV legend.

    As a kid I loved Battlestar Galactica, Magnum, Knight Rider and even Quincy!

    I always wondered how those Cylons could fly those spaceships and a straight line though... :-P

    R.I.P

    Loved Six Million Dollar Man as kid. Galactica allegedly cost $1 million an episode which in 1979 was colossal!!
