LOL! Yeah I always liked the show. I must be getting old; but classic TV show
Yep they've been playing them the past few weeks. Seems cheesy now, but fun none the less. Gotta love that 80s sounding music!

I'm surprised they haven't brought it back with Verizon Wireless and Google sponsoring it, with a twist: MacGyver has to get "something" from "the cloud" that further solves his problem.
Remember, it's a "bro show" written by Henry Winkler, aka Fonzie. I do like its production values, no CGI, and they go on location, even if it's Vancouver.
And this style of show, the (dumb?) action/ punch 'em up, died out with the series finale of "Walker, Texas Ranger". Everything now is more cerebral. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I watched a 1989 era Mac a little while back where they used a Fax chain mail system to organize protests against Tienamen Square.

Hey what ever happen to that character? Last I knew he was frozen or preserved in ice crystal at Antarctica on a Star Gate SG-1 episode....
Did they ever revive him?

I used to watch the show every week back in the day. But let's be honest. Going up against bad guys with guns (sometimes automatic) with his contraptions, traps, explosions, diversions, etc. would've simply got him shot in real life.
I get it that he didn't like guns, but why bring a knife to a gunfight....
Still a great show (to me, anyway) and I have quite a few episodes on DVR - and more being recorded each week.

That was one of the only shows we would watch on tv growing up.

There is a funny outtake in which his role as MacGyver is mentioned. It's from one of the earlier episodes.
