Details
MacGyver is one of the most exciting action adventure television series to be aired in the history of television. MacGyver originally was broadcast on the ABC television network in the United States. MacGyver ran from 1985 until 1992. MacGyver also broadcast in some other countries around the world.
Richard Dean Anderson played the title role of MacGyver in the series. He was considered to be a laid back and very, very resourceful secret agent. In addition to the television series itself, two MacGyver made for television movies were released during the 1990s. Word on the street has it that a large budget feature motion picture based on the television series currently is in the works. Anderson has stated that he is interested in again playing the title role. However, no decision has yet been made in that regard.
One of the common themes of MacGyver involved the main character finding himself in very dangerous situations. At these moments he is able to take some very common, every day items to create some sort of complex device or mechanism that was useful to him in resolving the situation in which he had found himself at the moment. This unique approach to saving himself really made the show all the more entertaining.
As an aside, MacGyver often narrated himself with a story from his childhood that was somehow analogous to his current situation. MacGyver resolves his current situation quickly and the main story commences after the opening credits. This added what can only be considered to be a unique feature to the program.
Throughout its time on the ABC television network MacGyver was a very popular television show. The series consistently garnered high ratings. Moreover, MacGyver also was a critically acclaimed television program as well. The show did receive some important awards during its original run as well. The success of MacGyver has kept the public interested in the television series up until this very point in time.
In some television markets, MacGyver can now be seen in syndication and in re-runs. However, at this juncture in time this availability is far from universal. Therefore, if you are interested in watching MacGyver again (or for the first time) you definitely will want to consider the comprehensive MacGyver box set.
