Television producer and writer Glen Larson is best known for his work with Knight Rider. But he is also known for other television series such as Quincy, M.E., Battlestar Galactica, The Fall Guy, and Magnum, P.I. Larson is also a Grammy and Emmy nominee.

His budget for Battlestar Galactica was set at an insane amount of $1 million per episode. And that was in 1978. Unfortunately, the show only lasted one season (24 episodes). But the show was later remade in 2004, ten years before Larson died of Esophageal cancer at the age of 77 in 2014.
