A unique and different kind of TV action series, MacGyver made
its television premiere in the Fall of 1985 to much fanfare.
Audiences immediately responded to the title character and his
unusual penchant for turning everyday items like chewing gum and
paperclips into elaborate life-saving contraptions. In this way, it
maintained a slight resemblance to The A-Team, and this recurring
plot device helped MacGyver build a strong cult following...
Richard Dean Anderson plays the title role of MacGyver, an energetic
employee of the fictional Phoenix Foundation for Research. An
unorthodox hero by action series standards, MacGyver has a deadly
fear of heights. A pacifist who refuses to use weapons, he relies
heavily on his ability to use his brain and tinker with the various
materials at his disposal. MacGyver's best friend, and the director
of the Phoenix Foundation, is Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar). Pete often
sends MacGyver on Foundation missions and sometimes comes to his aid
(usually after MacGyver has saved the day). In addition, MacGyver is
joined on a regular basis by his airplane pilot friend Jack Dalton
(Bruce McGill), a man who constantly entangles himself in illegal
activities and other troublesome situations. Between the usual slew
of bad guys, the vendetta of archenemy Murdoc (Michael Des Barres),
and his multitude of troublesome friends, MacGyver is always in the
midst of interesting and dangerous events, and the show's true
entertainment value derives from watching MacGyver's distinctive
method of dealing with each one...
The MacGyver (Season 2) DVD features a number of action-packed
episodes including the season premiere "The Human Factor" in which
MacGyver and the Phoenix Foundation are called upon to test the
security of a top-secret military installation. When MacGyver makes
a bet with the security designer, Dr. Jill Ludlum, he successfully
gains entry, but the automated system traps them both inside (with a
dwindling supply of oxygen) where they're forced to race for their
lives against a ticking clock... Other notable episodes from Season
2 include "The Road Not Taken" in which MacGyver encounters his
former fiancée while helping a nun, and "Birth Day" in which
MacGyver must guard a pregnant woman from her husband, who's out to
kill her...
