Larsen was awesome. With hsi shows he really nailed the "awesome opening premise narration" mixed with bombastic music theme. Such an important part of my childhood
Bummer.
Thanks for the memories Mr Larson, I thoroughly enjoyed BSG, Buck and much of your output during my childhood. RIP.
He didn't create either. The only thing he created with Lee Majors in it was fall Guy.
RIP Glen, you gave us so much television entertainment. I was a mere boy when the original BSG on abc captured my imagination.
Rest in Peace, Glen You will be missed.
A good body of work to leave as a legacy, but still to young to pass on. RIP.
Hmm, he was the creator of my favorite show of all time:
Automan. That's the show that introduced me to science fiction, and I still love it. So corny but it all worked so well.
I saw Tron years later, and thought it was a horrible story, and to this date I haven't seen it more than once.
It is really too bad that Automan gets called a Tron knockoff, because other than the visual effects and the superficial similarities (two shows about computer holography), Automan is 20 times a better story, and had amazing optimism that plays beautifully as an entrance to the 80's optimism in computer technology.
TOS BSG was a good show as well. It was a bit tongue-in-cheek with is what made it great. I even loved the first episode of Galactica 1980, and it's too bad the rest of it sucked balls.
I was looking foward to the remake of BSG with Larson. Is that still in the works?
