Glen Larson has died, He was 77.

Today we’ve lost someone who was an undisputed television juggernaut. Glen A. Larson, creator and writer of dozens of popular tv shows from the ’70s to the ’90s, has passed away at the age of 77. Variety reports that he died of complications from esophageal cancer at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Larson leaves behind an amazing legacy on television, creating, writing, and producing some of the most popular television programs of the day, including Battlestar Galactica, Magnum P.I., Quincy M.E., and Knight Rider to name but four. He was a huge champion and proponent of genre television, and specifically science fiction, and a great many of his best shows were in this vein. There are but a few out-and-out moguls in the television game and Glen Larson is certainly one of that select group. He only received three Emmy nominations in his career, two for the miniseries McCloud in 1974 and 1974 and one for Quincy M.E. in 1978, but his impact on popular culture still today is massive.

I remember the name in the credits for Magnum. Seems like he collaborated with someone named Bellisario, too. Amazing I can't recall anybody special and prolific in the last twenty or so years, except maybe J J Abrams.
