MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is like James Bond, except, instead of using violence, he uses his scientific knowledge and intelligence to defeat his enemies with little violence. MacGyver works for "The Phoenix Foundation" with his boss and his best friend Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar). Mac's specialty is improvising tools and weaponry from common everyday items, ranging from a flare gun to provide a jet propellant, to a chocolate bar to plug an acid leak, to household chemicals to make a smoke screen, to a light bulb filament to pick a lock. The action adventure format addressed social issues as well, and MacGyver became a role model praised by critics, parents, and teachers alike.

@SamNathan96 My aunt bought me the complete series and I won't doubt that this show is my childhood and he my hero! And oh, I also remember that before my aunt bought me the complete series you lent me the first season LOL
This must be one of the first shows I ever watched, I remember buying season 1 at WalMart while visiting family in the US, and totally got hooked on it! Growing up, this dude was my hero :D
The first show I fell in love with. A lot of episodes were even dubbed in French (which I didn't understand when I was 10 or so). I watched them many times however :)
