Glen A. Larson, who decided that the only thing that Tron was missing was Desi Arnaz, Jr, has died at the age of 77. At one point, Larson had 5 shows on the air at a time, usually high-minded fare like a self-righteous medical examiner on Quincy, ME; a babe-chasing truck driver with a chimp for a best friend on BJ and the Bear; a professor who was the master of the secrets that divide man from animal, animal from man on Manimal; a shadowy organization relying on a talking car to enforce peace on Knight Rider; a handsome but somewhat inept PI on Magnum, PI, and his allegory for anti-semitism (interspersed with repeated shots of the exact same explosion 5 times an episode), Battlestar Galactica.
