Description:
Angus MacGyver is a secret agent who refuses to carry a gun with him, but fortunately never needs one. Drawing on a vast practical knowledge of science, MacGyver is able to make use of anything around him to create solutions to any problem he faces. Underestimating MacGyver is a major mistake made by his enemies and always results in the destruction of their plans
Amazon.com:
Like James Bond--but without the high-tech gadgets--Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is one of those rare beings who can avert any crisis without mussing a hair. (The rest of us should be so lucky.) In the pilot alone, the secret agent dismantles a missile using a paper clip and fashions a rocket thruster out of a pistol. Is there anything MacGyver can't do? As the first season of ABC's long-running adventure series proves, the answer is a resounding no. MacGyver's secret: the everyday items he "finds along the way," like matches or gum wrappers, and the ingenuity to put them to a myriad of uses (a background in physics and chemistry doesn't hurt). Unlike Alias' Sidney Bristow, he isn't a multi-linguist, a martial artist, or a master of disguises. Wits are MacGyver's weapon of choice.
Produced by Henry Winkler (Arrested Development), The Complete First Season includes all 22 episodes from 1985-1986 (alas, there are no extras). MacGyver is joined by Phoenix Foundation director of operations Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar), who is introduced in "Nightmares." Also, his grandfather, Harry Jackson (John Anderson), makes his first appearance in "Target MacGyver," while friend Penny Parker (Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives) makes hers in "Every Time She Smiles" (they will appear more frequently in future seasons). Other notable guest stars include Joan Chen (The Last Emperor) in "The Golden Triangle," Nana Visitor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) in "Hellfire," and John De Lancie (Star Trek: The Next Generation) in "The Escape."
MacGyver ran for seven seasons and was followed by two made-for-TV movies in 1994, Lost Treasure of Atlantis and Trail to Doomsday. In 1997, after a short-lived series for UPN (1995's Legend), Anderson landed the lead in an even longer-running series, Stargate SG-1, based on the sci-fi extravaganza with Kurt Russell. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The first season is a great season with many exciting parts. However...there is an episode with killer ants that was quite frightening for my neices and nephews.

One of my favorite shows, as a kid at least. It gets repetitive, but it's still fun to watch an episode or two every once in awhile. If you grew up with Macgyver as a kid, you know how great it was. It was like a 47 minute b-action movie. Sometimes nonstop action. Macgyver made a great debut in it's first season, and would go strong for years after. Season one has a few really good episodes, but my favorite by far is "Thief of Budapest". It starts out with a cold intro, meaning it doesn't have anything ... Read More

As a kid I loved MacGyver - the quick witted secret agent who, given a stick of gum and a hair comb, could get out of any situation.
As an adult I still love MacGyver but for very different reasons.
There are the clever scientific escapes that could give the Mythbusters a couple of seasons worth of material, but this is not the best part. The episodes are so badly written, the plot lines so thin and riddled with logical errors that they are the very height of entertainment. There ... Read More

Richard Dean Anderson plays secret agent Angus MacGyver, a man so brilliant he can make land mines out of pine cones, he can fix the brakes of a car while it's moving, and he can single-handedly defeat the armed forces of the Soviet Union multiple times, once even in Afghanistan. This is the first season of the series on DVD, and it is impossible not to be entertained and amused by the cheesy irrepressibility of this show.
Every week MacGyver gets himself into some kind of impossible jam, but ... Read More
