What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, MacGyver follows the 20-something year old Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till). Young Mac has created a clandestine organization within the U.S. government. There, he uses his scientific knowledge and problem-solving acumen to save lives. MacGyver’s team includes maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton (George Eads); former field agent and current Director of Operations, Patricia Thornton (Sandrine Holt); as well as the mercurial hacker Riley Davis (Tristin Mays). Back home, Mac enjoys the company of his ambitious roommate, Wilt Bozer (Justin Hires). Under the auspices of the Department of External Services, MacGyver is bent on saving the world, armed with just his raw talents, a little bubble gum, and a paper clip.

Telly’s Take
MacGyver’s ratings have slid quite a bit since the TV series premiere, particular in the demo. However, in terms of average total audience size, the drama does well, considering it airs on Friday nights. If MacGyver can maintain its ratings, it’s likely CBS will renew MacGyver for season two. The network needs new dramas. However, if the show’s ratings drop much lower, frankly, it’s going to take more than Mac himself, to save it.
3/23 update: I’ll look elsewhere for my meal. MacGyver has been renewed for season two on CBS. Details here.

What do you think? Are you happy that the MacGyver TV show was renewed for a second season? How would you feel, had CBS cancelled this TV show, instead?
This show is great! Fun to watch! Pls renew do not cancell
This show is great! Fun to watch! Pls renew do not cancel
Would love to see this renewed. It’s one of the few shows we can watch with our whole family. We look forward to watching this every Friday night. Keep it going please.
YES! Please renew this show! It’s my favorite show this season. The chemistry between the cast, especially Mac and Jack, is amazing and the way Mac solves cases is so unique, maybe not when compared to the original, but to anything else on TV right now. It really makes you think. And it’s also really funny. I look forward to this show every week as does my mom. We watch it together every week.
Renew. I enjoy the show.
I like the show a lot it’s interesting and funny, Mac & Jack have great chemistry. It’s not realistic when they are crime solving, (Zodiac episode) they never wear gloves or try to protect any evidence. Hopefully they will renew for another season, shows kids that science can be fun.
Please keep MacGyver. It’s one of the few thinking shows still on for those of us who use our brains. It’s also one of only 2 good things to watch on Friday nights (really can’t understand why everything else is on at the same time on the same 3 nights leaving the rest of the week with almost nothing to do). All we have to watch on Fridays is MacGyver and Last Man Standing. Do NOT cancel the only thinking show on Fridays. It’s such a smart, funny and entertaining show with so many layers that I don’t understand why… Read more »
I hope it’s renewed…love Lucas Till as MacGyver… and George Eads as jack! Show is fantastic!
Cancel, since you brought the new boss to the show. Do not like it, anymore.
Why cancel the whole show due to dislike of one character? Renew it. I think she has multiple layers to her personality and each episode peels one away.
I really like that show,it’s funny,got action,drama and a lot of good tricks,I watch every episode.I really don’t want for show to be cancelled .
Renew pls
I watch this with my mom every week. She says it is kind of like the a-Team used to be. Interesting for older kids without being irritating or stupid to grown ups. Please don’t cancel it!!!
I think that macgyver is one of the best tv dramas around right now it has the perfect combination of action and comedy along with the element of mac’s amazing brain and all his inventions keeping veiwers interested I personally would be very disappointed if this show was cancelled and would be more than ecstatic if it is renewed for season 2
I like the series, my family watch it every week, please keep it. It’s better then some of the dumb shows that are kept on for years.
Fun show with endearing characters. Didn’t think I’d like a reboot, but it’s quickly grown on me. Please don’t cancel this enjoyable family program.
