MacGyver is an American adventure television series, about the laid-back, extremely resourceful secret agent MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson. The show highlights MacGyver's adventures working for the United States government, and then later at the Phoenix Foundation.Created by Lee David Zlotoff, the tv show ran for seven seasons from September 29, 1985 to January 13, 1992 and was shot in United States and Canada. In addition, two made-for-television movies were produced in 1994.
The series revolved around Angus MacGyver (known to his friends as MacGyver or "Mac") who favors brain over brawn in order to solve desperate problems. His main asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items—along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife. The clever solutions he implemented to seemingly intractable 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. The series was also praised for generating interest in the applied sciences, and particularly engineering.
This was used to be one of my favorite action tv series to watch. Wondering if there is a dvd collection of this series.
