Series overview
Main articles: List of MacGyver episodes and Organizations in MacGyver
The series revolved around Angus MacGyver (known to his friends as "MacGyver" or "Mac"), whose main
asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common itemsalong with his
ever-present Swiss Army knife. The clever solutions MacGyver implemented to seemingly unsolvable problems
often in life-or-death situations requiring him to improvise complex devices in a matter of minutes were a
major attraction of the show, which was praised for generating interest in the applied sciences, particularly
engineering,[3] and for providing entertaining story lines. All of MacGyver's exploits on the show were
ostensibly vetted to be based on scientific principles (even though, the creators acknowledged, in real life one
would have to be extraordinarily lucky for most of MacGyver's ideas to succeed). In the few cases where
MacGyver used household chemicals to create poisons, explosives, or other things deemed too dangerous to be
accurately described to the public, details were altered or left vague.[4]
The use of ordinary household items to jury rig devices shows an influence from The A-Team (though
MacGyver eschewed firearms). The idea has entered United States popular culture: such constructions are
referred to as "MacGyverisms" (a term first used in episode 3 of season 2, "Twice Stung"). MacGyver has
become a verb, as in "The car broke down but he MacGyvered a fix to get home", and was even used in
Stargate SG-1, a later show featuring Richard Dean Anderson as a protagonist. The show often dealt with social
issues, though more so in seasons 47 than 13, which were mostly about MacGyver's adventures working for
the United States government and then later the Phoenix Foundation.
Format
Several episodes began with a cold open, finding MacGyver already on a mission. MacGyver often narrated
himself with a story from his childhood relating to his current situation. MacGyver resolves this situation
quickly, and the main story commences after the opening credits. This opening sequence is called in the credits
the "Opening Gambit" and is far more common in earlier episodes than in later ones. This segment is often
written and directed by a different team than the main story of the episode. After the credits, the main story
plays out in standard three-act structure. In many episodes, the opening sequence occurs after the opening
credits and often does not involve MacGyver on a mission but rather in a situation used for character
development. In the same manner as the "Opening Gambit" sequences, these opening segments often do not
directly relate to the main story.
Cast
Main article: List of MacGyver characters
Richard Dean Anderson as Angus MacGyver, refuses to carry or use a gun, due to a childhood
accident with a revolver that resulted in the death of a friend.[5] However, in the pilot episode,
MacGyver is seen firing an AK-47 on a mission in the opening Gambit (7:51 into the episode), then
seen using a gun in the TV movie Trail to Doomsday. He also holds two kidnappers at gunpoint in the
opening scenes in episode 10, season one.[6] He is often suspicious of militaristic attitudes within the
government; he sees his Phoenix Foundation employer as an alternative to the more conventional
(and violent) means of law enforcement.[7]
Dana Elcar as Pete Thornton, MacGyver's boss and best friend. He is an operative at the
Department of External Services (DXS), which is where he is impressed by Mac's ingenuity while
tracking down Murdoc, an international assassin. When Thornton becomes director of operations at
the Phoenix Foundation several years later, he brings MacGyver into the program. In addition to
sending Mac out on various tasks for the foundation, Thornton is many times forced to bail
MacGyver out of the trouble he gets into. Thornton has a son named Michael.
Production
See also: List of MacGyver episodes
While creating the series MacGyver, John Rich worked on the American series, Mr. Sunshine, which was
eventually canceled by ABC. After this Rich teamed up with Henry Winkler and Lee David Zlotoff to create the
series which would later be known as MacGyver.[8]
The series was filmed in Southern California for its first two seasons and again in its final season. From seasons
36, it was filmed in various locations around Vancouver in Canada.[9] The estimated budget for each episode
was around US$ 1 million.[10]
When the series was in pre-production, Winkler and Rich were looking for a suitable actor for the lead.[8] After
Richard Dean Anderson's appearance in the American television series, The Love Boat, Winkler got Anderson
to audition for the part of MacGyver.[11] According to Rich, every auditioning actor "hulked" his way through
his audition. When Anderson eventually auditioned for the role, Winkler and Rich felt that he gave the character
a human touch which the other actors couldn't. Both believed that Anderson would become one of the new
"breakout" stars on American television.[8]
Anderson is known for having done many of the stunts in the series, though in later seasons he reduced his stunt
participation because of accumulating injuries. He injured his back and required a foot surgery because of his
accidents working as a stuntman.[12]
The producers of MacGyver had a tendency to use the same actor in multiple roles throughout a series run. Kai
Wulff played Stepan Frolov in season one's "Every Time She Smiles", Hans Visser in season four's "Collision
Course", Ladysmith in season five's Black Rhino, and Nicolas Von Leer in season six's episode "Eye of Osiris".
Gregory Sierra appeared in the season one episode "The Gauntlet", playing General Antonio Vasquez, the
season two episode "Jack of Lies", playing Colonel Antunnez, and the season five episode "The Treasure of
Manco", playing Captain Diaz. Nana Visitor appeared in the season one episode "Hellfire" as Laura Farren, and
in the season two episode "DOA: MacGyver" she appears again as Carol Varnay. David Ackroyd appears in the
season one episode "Trumbo's World" as Mr. Trumbo, and in the season three episode "The Negotiator" as Mr.
Knapp. Elyssa Davalos played Lisa Kohler/Kosov in "Lost Love: Part 1 & 2" in season 3, then just a few
episodes later (in the same season) she re-appeared as Nikki Carpenter, a role which she reprised in several
more episodes. Dana Elcar first appeared in the pilot episode as the chief of operations for KIVA laboratories
under a different character name, Andy Colson.[13] Elcar returns later in the first season to play the main
character, Pete Thornton.[14]
Several episodes of MacGyver's first season were written, or co-written, by Terry Nation, a British writer best
known as the creator of the Daleks in Doctor Who.
History
Initial broadcast history
Main article: List of MacGyver episodes
After a slow start in its first season, MacGyver became a sleeper hit for ABC in its second season, during which
it began a six-year run as the lead-in to ABC's Monday Night Football (the longest such run in history).[15]
During the show's fourth season, Richard Dean Anderson complained that ABC was not marketing the series
enough. Saying that the series is "just another action show" for ABC, he further stated that ABC didn't give the
series enough promotion.[16] MacGyver was canceled after the seventh season because ABC wished to
broadcast a new series, entitled Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (from the same production company as
MacGyver, Paramount Television), which became a minor success compared to MacGyver.[17] When asked
why the series was cancelled, Anderson replied: "The only reason it went off the air was that everybody was
ready to move on. I was physically exhausted and had no life."[18]
Syndication and movies
In 1994, the series was released in over seventy different worldwide markets.[19] Because of popular demand,
two TV-movies were created, both released in 1994. The first movie MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis
premiered in the United States in May. The film was shot in England and Greece. The second movie was
entitled MacGyver: Trail to Doomsday. Anderson served as executive producer for both films,[19] which were
filmed in Europe.[20] Re-runs of the series still air in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.[21]
Spinoffs
In 2003, The WB Television Network had a pilot for a possible new Young MacGyver series starring Jared
Padalecki as MacGyver's nephew Clay, but opted to pass on it.[22] In an August 2007 survey commissioned by
the McCormick Tribune Foundation, Americans polled voted MacGyver as the favorite fictional hero they
would want to have if they were ever caught in an emergency.[23] Lee David Zlotoff, creator of the series,
announced on May 3, 2008, that a MacGyver film was in the planning stages.[24] He would produce the film
along with Martha De Laurentiis and Raffaella De Laurentiis through her Raffaella Productions.[25] Richard
Dean Anderson has expressed interest in revisiting his role,[26] however there is no confirmation on who would
be playing the role of MacGyver in the film.[27]
Home releases
Paramount Home Entertainment has released all 7 seasons of MacGyver on DVD in Regions 1, 2 and 4. On
October 16, 2007, CBS DVD released MacGyver: The Complete Series, a special collectors' edition box set that
features all 139 episodes of the series as well as the two TV movies that followed.
On June 15, 2010, Paramount released the two TV movies on DVD in Region 1 in a separate single-disc release
entitled MacGyver - The TV Movies.[28]

Legacy
In 2006, Anderson appeared in a MasterCard television commercial for Super Bowl XL. The spot poked fun at
the character's ability to use everyday objects to perform extraordinary feats: In it, he manages to cut the ropes
binding him to a chair using a pine tree air freshener, uses an ordinary tube sock as the pulley for a zip-line, and
somehow repairs and hot-wires a nonfunctional truck using a paper clip, ballpoint pen, rubber band, tweezers,
nasal spray and a turkey baster. In contrast to previous MasterCard commercials showing people making
extravagant purchases to accomplish some mundane task, MacGyver is here portrayed as escaping from some
sort of deathtrap using less than $20 worth of common household items. The commercial ends by showing him
purposefully buying an assortment of such things at a department store with his credit card (as a tongue-in-
cheek explanation for how Mac seems to always have items he needs on hand no matter where he goes).
Although the commercial indicates Anderson is portraying the role of MacGyver, he is not identified.[29]
The series is referenced in episodes of The Simpsons, primarily detailing Marge Simpson's sisters Patty and
Selma's obsession with the show and their crush on the MacGyver character. The sisters' regular viewing of the
show is an unalterable element of their daily schedule to the point of death as demonstrated in the episode
"Black Widower". The episode featured a fictional scene of MacGyver where he downplays his role in saving a
village ("Don't thank me. Thank the moon's gravitational pull").[30] In another episode, "A Star is Burns",
Homer tricks Jay Sherman into insulting MacGyver in front of Patty and Selma; Sherman ends up being hung
from the rain gutter by his underpants, and Bart asks "You badmouthed MacGyver, didn't you?" Anderson
himself is an avid fan of The Simpsons, and even provided his voice for an episode of the show titled "Kiss
Kiss, Bang Bangalore", which first aired April 6, 2006, where Patty and Selma kidnap Richard Dean Anderson
after he admits that he never liked doing MacGyver and only did the show for the money.
In the first episode of Anderson's later show, Stargate SG-1, Amanda Tapping mentions that the Air Force had
to "MacGyver" a Dial Home Device for the Stargate (a split-second shot following this shows Anderson
twitching an eyebrow). There is a blooper reel where Tapping's character, who is trapped with Anderson's
character on a glacier, begins ranting about how "we got belt buckles, shoelaces and a piece of gum. Build a
nuclear reactor, for cryin' out loud! You used to be MacGyver, MacGadget, MacGimmick... now you're Mr.
MacUseless... Dear God, I'm stuck on a glacier with MacGyver!"
In 2007, the NBC sketch show Saturday Night Live featured a parody of MacGyver called "MacGruber" with
Will Forte as the title character. The intros for these skits featured scenes from the MacGyver series. MacGruber
and cohorts are always locked in a control room of some type with a bomb set to go off in 1520 seconds.
MacGruber has his co-stars hand him components to defuse the device, but something inevitably gets in the way
(either situational, because MacGruber himself interferes, or because no one wants to touch what he has asked
for) and the bomb detonates. In the March 7, 2009 installment of the "MacGruber" sketches, it was revealed that
MacGyver is MacGruber's long-lost father. In 2010 the character was featured in its own R-rated spinoff movie,
entitled MacGruber; the film was released by Rogue Pictures.
In February 2008, the science show Mythbusters featured a MacGyver special which tested several of
MacGyver's tactics.
In 2008 the phrase "What would MacGyver do?" was used in a New Zealand television commercial for Gregg's
"freestyle cooking" range of herbs and spices. The commercial featured the word MacGyver unfolding like a
puzzle with a potato peeler and chopping knife opening out like the blades of a Swiss Army Knife.[31]
MacGyverisms
MacGyver employs his resourcefulness and his knowledge of chemistry, physics,[4] technology, and
outdoorsmanship to resolve what are often life-or-death crises. He creates inventions from simple items to solve
these problems. These inventions became synonymous with the character and were called MacGyverisms by
fans.[32] MacGyver was unlike secret agents in other television series and films because, instead of relying on
high-tech weapons and tools, he carried only a Swiss Army knife and duct tape but never a gun.[4] One episode
shows the reason being that a boyhood friend of his was accidentally killed by a revolver he was not supposed
to have. One other episode shows him only using a captured gun by taking it apart to use as a kind of wrench,
with the trigger guard doing the job of shutting down a valve tap. In the opening gambit of the pilot episode,
MacGyver is briefly seen shooting an AK-47 at a group of enemy soldiers before passing the gun off to the man
he was rescuing. This is the only time MacGyver fired a weapon during the series.
This also led to the verb, "to MacGyver". "MacGyverism" was first used by Joanne Remmings (played by
Pamela Bowen) in the third episode of Season 2. When MacGyver introduces himself to her, she uses the term
in a manner that suggests other people had used it before:[33]
"Oh I've heard about you! You're the guy who does the whatchamacallits, you know,
MacGyverisms; turns one thing into another?"
In an 1989 interview with Richard Dean Anderson, Arsenio Hall said that he had heard the word MacGyver
used as a verb meaning "to do the impossible." Anderson then used it as an adjective meaning "impossible."
Anderson stated that his show's producers had just missed out on getting the word "MacGyverism" entered into
the Webster's Dictionary and that "we" intended to try to get it in the next update.[34]
The show's writers based MacGyver's inventions on items they found on location, concepts from scientific
advisers John Koivula and Jim Green, and real events.[4] The show offered a monetary prize to people who sent
good ideas for the show. A young fan suggested that MacGyver could patch up a vehicle's radiator by cracking
an egg into it. The episode "Bushmaster" was constructed around this trick, and the fan was rewarded (producer
Henry Winkler said in a 2005 NPR interview that that was his favorite "MacGyverism"). Although staff read
every letter, few usable ideas were obtained in this way.[32]
