MacGyverWho remembers the greatness of MacGyver?

Here is what Wikipedia has to say…

MacGyver was a Canadian-produced adventure television series about a laid-back, extremely resourceful ex-secret agent, played by Richard Dean Anderson. It ran for seven seasons from September 29, 1985 to May 21, 1992 filmed primarily in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Of the 139 one-hour episodes, three had two parts. Additionally, two made-for-TV movies were produced in 1994.

MacGyver’s main asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items - along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife and duct tape and the usual coincidence of being locked up in a room full of useful materials. The clever solutions 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, which was praised for generating interest in engineering as well as providing entertaining storylines.
