Introduction:

MacGyver was conceived as a nonviolent action-adventure hero. Faced withdanger, his first reaction was always to stop for a moment and think. With a little imagination and whatever materials happened to be lying around, he applied common sense and/or basic principles of science to outwit his adversaries and keep his fans entertained for seven seasons.

What's it about?

The television show "MacGyver" debuted on ABC-TV in September 1985 and ran continuously until the middle of the 1991-1992 TV season. Since the show’s cancellation, there have also been two made-for-television movies. The program follows the adventures of MacGyver, troubleshooter extraordinaire. He carries no weapons, relying instead on his wits, his knowledge, and objects at hand to get himself out of trouble.

Where can I watch?

As of September 2001, reruns of "MacGyver" air regularly in the U.S. They are broadcast each weekday at 11:00 AM ET on the WGN Network. Most, if not all, of the episodes WGN shows have been cut to allow for more advertising time by local cable operators. "MacGyver" can also be seen on a multitude of international television networks across the globe.
