What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the CBS television network, MacGyver stars Lucas Till, George Eads, Tristin Mays, Justin Hires, and Meredith Eaton. The reimagined drama centers on Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Till), a 20-something adventurer. Mac creates a secret organization within the US government. There, he uses his vast scientific knowledge and an extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving to save the world.
 

Season Two Ratings

The second season of MacGyver averaged a 0.83 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.86 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 23% and down by 11%, respectively. Find out how MacGyver stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
 

 

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.
