MacGyver back on TV

brav · 26-06-2007, 8:49 AM

about 2 weeks ago MacGyver re-runs starting from season one, are being shown on FX at around 6pm(8pm on fx+1) everyday.

Had to be my favourite program from my childhood.

A few things I notice now is he travels a lot, never realised he used to travel all over the world, I used to think he was just somewhere in the states the whole time.

I remember a few months ago myself and a few mates were searching through Sky trying to find s channel which showed it and then a few weeks ago we saw it on FX!!

Anyone else watching it?

Yep , cought some eps on FX but it doesnt seem as good as I remeber it was.
I suppose I am to used to RDA being Jack O'neil from stargate now.

They do like their MacGyver

I watched the reruns on Bravo a couple of years ago and I stuck with it so I must have enjoyed it and even though some of his exploits were beyond belief it never felt as silly as The A-Team.

Ive just started the second series on DVD and im loving it - its so ridiculous its funny. The episode with a very young Terri Hatcher was interesting

I have only seen the TV movies of this. I wished it was on Freeview. I find O.Neil is a lot like Macgver in some ways. Even Amanda Tapping made a Macguyer joke while filiming the first season. The look on RDA's face was priceless.

It was the very first episode, i think. I've just started to watch SG-1 from the very beginning.

It was in the special features and was the episode Solitudes. It was when they are showing the episode being filmed and Amanda decided to make a joke.

It either Children Of The Gods or The Enemy Within, as i've only watched the first 2 episodes, and it was definetly one of these.

Solitudes is episode 17, and nowhere near there.....unless there is more than one MacGyver reference?

It was a joke while filming by Amanda (not as Carter). It was not in the actual episode but the special features.

Ther was an episode in one of the seasons where she says "it took ages just to macGver a working prototype" or some thing like that.

But the way she takes the mick out of RDA on the dvd extras is just classic stuff

"You were MacGyver , mcguffin, mcgiddigt........!

I see, in that case there is a MacGyver reference in the actual episode as well.

Just watched todays MacGyver...... stethoscope + alarm clock = lie detector!

Great Stuff
