I can't believe that Glen Larson is dead. I guess that he won't be able to see the movie based on his creation, Battlestar Galactica.

Wow, I feel sorry for Larson's family -- sad to hear about his death. It's amazing just how many of Larson's T.V. creations, and shows he worked on (like Buck Rogers) were a big part of what I watched growing up.

I had hoped Glen Larson would also get to see the Knight Rider movie get off the ground that he spent so many years working on. A KR movie was pretty close to getting greenlit back in 2007-2008 but NBC-Universal threw a hissy fit because Larson didn't want to go through Universal Pictures for the movie and they rushed out the 2008 tele-movie and series to stall production of the feature film which was unfortunately worked. (As with Battlestar Galactica, Larson owns the the movie rights for Knight Rider while NBC retains the television rights)
