[80s TV] MacGyver

Who enjoyed this show? I liked/still like it because
Richard Dean Anderson rarely if ever resorted to violence.
There was always a solution to every problem, a way to be a
thorn in the side of heavily armed men using just a bunch of
household items and some good old fashioned ingenuity. I
just watched him ''invent'' a torch that cut right through
an armored van to free a man. What did he use? Just a
bicycle, and some rust from old paint cans. Like a knife
through butter.

There was also a funny part in today's episode where he was
being guarded by a terrorist who was forcing him to fix his
getaway plane. McGyver showed him a funny looking tool, and
when the clueless terrorist asked him what it was, McGyver
said... ''a lateral... cranial... impact... enhancer.'' And
bashed his brains in.

yeah, i liked macgyver.

one episode where he made a hot air baloon to make his
escape... that was awesome.

towards the end they started getting all depressing though,
when pete had glaucoma.

Yeah, I've learned a lot from him! I no longer fear being
trapped in a closet full of cleaning supplies. I could just
invent an acid to burn down the door or something.

i used to really love this show. i carried around a red
Swiss-Army Knife and did MacGuyver impressions. My Dad had
a MacGuyver haircut.

a memorable episode was when he filled lengths of bamboo
with swamp gas to make these javalin-like bombs.

i also remember an episode where he was driving an army jeep
along a railroad track (because the wheel bases were nearly
the same) and he made a mortor cannon that used the jeep's
gearshift knob as a projectile.

The best episodes were the ones with the recurring Murdoch
character.

instead of using a terrorist's fully automatic weapon
against him he'd distract him with some sand to the eyes,
kick him in the face, and tie the guy up with his own
shoelaces!

how could you not love that guy?

throw the gun into the bushes becuase you hate those damn

Hahahahaha! Oh dear.

Today, he jacked a firetruck to escape from the plane
hangar. And he used the hose to knock out the bad guys, but
in hindsight... I guess that's pretty unimaginative compared
to a flaming gearshift.

Get Ikaruga tomorrow and put your week long vacation to good
use.

I built this ban-cannon using some vaseline, a portable tire
pump, some marbles, and a LOT of elbow grease.

Godspeed, soldier.

Hahaha! They send MacGyver every day on one of the national
tv stations in Norway at the moment. It's hilarious! The bad
guys are so bad! I saw an episode a few months back where
MacGyver dozed off to sleep in front of the TV while
watching and old western movie... The entire episode turned
into Western MacGyver. It was awesome! He came into this bar
packed with drunks and ordered a glass of milk!
Heeeeeeehaaaaa!

I remember the one where a whack to his head sent him back
in time, and then he was with the knights of the round
table, trying to get to some wizard or something, and the
scene where the guy falls into the lava, and you see the
burning skeleton in the lava! AND to top it off, it wasn't
the chinese that invented gunpowder, it was Merlin.. or
something...

He must have but i can't remember...

Its a perfect show. The fact that MacGyver allways managed
to get himself out from those situations, not using force,
but with his brains and the stuff he got in his hands.
These days there is nothing like this, everything is just
shit. A few years back they where showing some re-runs of
MacGyver, an i watched all of them, it was pure perfection.

Bump. I love hearing all these anecdotes, he's such an
adventurer. It's on Spike TV every evening, in case
anybody's unaware.

Shope- yeah, I should post more, I've only got like 15....
THOUSAND posts.

i remember one where he was locked in a freezer. he busted
a water pipe and diverted it to fill the lock with water.
when the water froze and expanded, it broke the lock.

macgyver rules. he's like a sexy nerd.

movie of Macgyver (and you know they will) who should they
cast?

I got a big 30 minute compilation of nuclear explosions off
of Kazaa a couple years ago, that nuclear cannon was on
it... wicked stuff. But yeah, I'm interested in whatever you
got, I think those videos are breathtaking. I'd also like to
know the backstory to that thing.

i remember that episode, but it wasn't a water pipe.
Remember? He melted an ice cube on the lightbulb and
directed that water down a pipe and into the lock!

i remember an episode where he plugged a toxic waste leak by
stuffing it with chocolate bars. the heat melted the
chocolate and carmelized the crack shut.!
