Telly’s Take
Perhaps only Angus MacGyver could craft a second season pickup out of the tepid demo ratings from the freshman installment of the MacGyver reboot. Fortunately, he had a decent total audience to work with. Although season two has been drawing lower numbers than last year, I suspect CBS will still renew MacGyver for season three.

More Macgyver, renew for more seasons, enjoying the series
My family and I enjoy MacGyver very much. Dinner earlier in the evening, dessert during MacGyver and trail mix during DVR shows for Family Friday Fun Night!
I live in the UK I love this new MacGyver nearly as much as the 80s series. It just needs to have another season please carry on making them!
More MacGyvery please
I love MacGyver, please let have more seasons…
some body know if the saison 3 of macgyver will come
Watched the orignal MacGyver with Richard DEAN Anderson loved it also love this one keep it on
Macgyver is a great show ,with nods to original ,great actors and good story lines should be renewed .
I loved watching season 1, and have been looking forward to watch another episide of season 2 each week more or less, depending when it will be aired. I like the interaction and friendship among them. I love the ideas, Mac Comes up with in very difficult situations. I hope very much, there will be a season 3.
I believe it should be moved to The CW to better fit it’s base audience. That worked for Super Girl, and it’s likely MacGyver can greatly benefit from a similar move.
Doesn’t make any sense just said superhero show not related to each other oposite to other macgver action adventure science better show I love both original and new show.
The CW channel for everyone when it start 20 decades ago with creepy shows now since Smallville was on the air and end been all are on these days tired of it. Macgver not made for that channel original was on abc back in 1980’s topics very good everyone even new one get ratings up please and Hawaii Five-0 too they are awesome shows to watch back to back.
I liked Super girl but lost it when it went to the CW
Please don’t cancel macgyver ! my fav show I love it
CLove this show. My daughters and I watch it. This show gets negative reviews but it is a very fun retake on the old series and the cast is fun and fresh. I think it’s one of the best reboots ever attempted and the cherry is obviously gotta be getting RDA to make an appearance!
What would be awesome, if RDA guested as Mac’s fathe
Me and my daughter watch this show together. This is our favorite show on tv. We can’t watch watch the show on fridays due to me working but she records the show and we watch on saturdays together. My daughter is 16 and it is a joy to set down together and watch a great tv show. That is very hard to find in this time and age. Please keep this show on air . AWESOME SHOW
I can only hope & pray the CBS will NOT cancel MacGyver!! Being, (I’m sure not the only one), to be sitting on the edge of my seat & anticipating the beginning of season one, of the remake of one of my all time favorite shows as a young child of the late 80’s-early 90’s, MacGyver QUICKLY became my favorite & the best part of my Friday nights!! If Mac gets canceled, my Friday’s will be ruined!! PLEASE!!! Don’t end my show!!
Amen, amen, amen
Please renewed such a great remake but not spy fiction why did Henry wrinkler do this show producer again amazing need more seasons.
