I just learned about the untimely death ofwriter and producer Glen A. Larson.
The creator of the original Battlestar Galactica TV series, of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century TV series, of Magnum PI and a lot of other works, he was a pillar in the education of a kid growing up on TV in the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Geez, I loved Buck Rogers! (well, ok, the first series)

… even if, admittedly, the song was kinda sucky.
