This man was TV for me in the 70s-80s. "Quincy, ME," "Magnum, PI," "Battlestar Galactica," "Knight Rider," "Six Million Dollar Man" and tons of others, not to mention stuff he "just" wrote in his tenure in Hollywood. A run-down of his amazing career here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0488991/
(Oddly enough, I have an indirect connection to Larson; he was a founding member of the singing group "The Four Preps"; my high school choir director, Don Clarke, was in that group for a time.)
Larson's work isn's Shakespeare in terms of its eternal appeal (or, at least, I doubt it), but it gave me many, many hours of entertainment in that era. Thank you, sir.

The Hardy Boys!
He and Stu Phillips created some great theme songs, too.
Yeah, I noted the "Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries" — which, sadly, were most famous for unleashing Sean Cassidy upon an unwitting populace.
Ooof. So much of his stuff is a part of my childhood.
