Battlestar Galactica

Post by Anchorhead-Autos »

Glen A. Larson creator of the original Galactica and Knight Rider has died aged 77. I hadn't realized he composed the themes for BSG and Knight Rider, sadly missed... fyi he was also behind BJ and the Bear if anyone remembers that one?

I certainly remember BJ & The Bear, and so many more of Glen A. Larson's creations/contributions. Some of my much-watched favourites (in addition to BG and KR) include Magnum PI and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

He has quite a legacy that he will be remembered for.

Rest in peace Mr Larson and thank you for Galactica.

Copied and pasted this from the Herald: Edward James Olmos, who starred as Admiral Adam in the 2004 Battlestar Galactica reboot series, wrote, "Glen Larson, we thank you for the ride, you are battlestar, we will miss you. See you on the other side. #Sosayweall Admiral Adama."

By Your Command.

Caught myself watching the newer Galactica reruns on The Zone on Fridays. Still a good show but just as I started getting back into it they have dropped it from Fri nights and moved it to Sat nights grrr

And unless I missed an episode during the week that wasn't advertised they played the episode on Sat out of synch. Missed the episode where Apollo has to destroy the passenger liner that's full of nukes heading for the Galactica grrr :cry:
