MacGyver, A Hero for All Time
****Just a note that this lens is a work in progress. I'll be adding the other seasons, polls, and more info to all the sections as time allows (which varies when you're a mother of 2 young children). It is by no means complete. MacGyver is one of my fave shows so it's my fun escape to write about it. Check back for updated info.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When MacGyver first appeared, he was a different kind of hero, one that hated guns and violence and preferred to use his intelligence to solve problems. He invented all kinds of great MacGyverisms to find his way out of the most difficult situations.
The show ran for 7 seasons, beginning September 29, 1985 and ending May 21, 1992 with 2 television movies airing in 1994.
