MacGyver

Newest Review: ... of The A Team, who used muscle to overcome situations and beat the bad guys. MacGyver was like the A Team all rolled into one with some sensitivity thrown in for good measure. The creativity of the character is often exaggerated. Only the other day I heard someone say they swore MacGyver once found himself in an airlocked room with a rubber band and some drawing pins, and he made a tank and drove through the wall. Naturally, they were joking, but sometimes the character's creativity was bordering the amazing. Interestingly enough, society recognises this program in any strange contraptions that have been made out of such household items... more

MacGyver is an American TV series that ran from 1985 to 1992. It featured a government agent named Angus MacGyver and his adventures. The earlier seasons followed his exploits for the government and then subsequently the Phoenix Corporation, and the last 4 seasons focused on social issues and problems, with moral messages to send to viewers. MacGyver is probably best known for the main characters's uncanny ability to create something out of nothing, and I don't mean salvaging a situation, I mean taking what look like a group of random objects and making something relevant to any situation. The use of brain over brawn was a reaction to the popularity of The A ... Read the complete review

Ok, picture the scene.....its the early eighties....you're trapped in a small hut in the middle of the desert...you're surrounded by 100 guerillas all pointing a machine gun at you.... all you have is a piece of paper....some chewing gum.....a piece of fluff you found in your pocket......and your trusty swiss army knife. Any normal person would be dead, but oh no! not MacGyver! MacGyver managed to get out of EVERY bad situation no matter what only with the use of stuff lying round....like a pebble, or a dead fish.

This is a classic action TV show for me. I still remember I watched and love this TV program when I was about 13-16 years old, which means about 10 years ago. You can see how attractive this TV program is because it could attract a young kid's interest. In fact I still remember I liked to discuss this show among my friends, who are also "MacGyver" fans. I have to say that I have forgotten the actor's name who acted MacGyver in the show. However I still can remember he is a very handsome and smart guy. The thing that was really interesting about MacGyver is seemed like he can solve all the problems with stuff around him - make a bomb to burst ... Read the complete review
