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.

Will there be a season 3
So glad this show is being renewed
I love the Friday night lineup as well.as Tuesday night lineup
So glad this has been renewed. It’s a great show and I love its originality and subtle humor.
Love this show
I love this show, I am so happy it is renewed.
Very glad it’s renewed. I do enjoy this show.
Keep him on the air
I am glad it was renewed
I love this show, and very glad it has been renewed!!
I love MacGyver!! I have it set as one of my priority record programs. It’s entertaining & interesting! I’m old enough to remember the original one that aired years ago’ (It’d be neat to bring Richard Dean Anderson back as a mentor of the current Mac)
That would’ve been ideal to have him as Mac’s dad instead of the guy who played him.
LOVE MacGyver, NEED another season!!! All my friends are obsessed!!!
I really hope MacGyver gets renewed. This is one of the only shows I watch faithfully. The constant action keeps my attention and I would like to find out about his father….does he find him? How about the romantic relationships that are forming? Yes a renewal is definitely needed…please.
I hope they renew MacGyver. I do wish he would be a little more old school with they science, but I love this show and have been waiting a long time for it. It would be a shame to loose it this early.
Please continue to air the new MacGyer show. I think they would have more viewing if the show were aired on a different day and time. I really like this show as opposed to some other inane shows that seem to hang on forever. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.
