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.

Love the new Mac guyver huge fan of orginal love this one also please renew
I would be very disappointed if it was cancelled. Looking forward to seeing it again.
I grew up with the original MacGyver was my favorite show as a kid. Even though the new show is not like the original I still love it. This is a new era and nothing will ever be like the originals. It saddened me greatly how The 2008 Knight rider got cancelled it was great fie the new era. Gotta keep up with the times.
Like the program. Hope it has a season 2.
Renew! I loved the show. Sadly, I only caught about half the episodes, but all the ones I saw were great.
RENEW! Love all the characters except the new woman director. Too sarcastic, caustic, and just plain rude.
RENEW! This show is family friendly and encourages kids to go out an try to experiment. A Super-Spy show that makes science cool? Jump on this parents!
Please renew McGyver! My entire family looks forward to Friday evening so we can watch McGyver together. Voting for Season 2!!!
Only watched a handful of the old MacGyver back in the early 90’s and in our early twenties I use to leave my mother inlaw to enjoy her MacGuvvy fix. A term her husband teased her with. She was a huge fan. The new MacGyver, for me anyway, stayed true to the format, but has evolved the character. In today’s world it couldn’t be what it was. But I like that it shows the generation of today that not all things are learned behind a screen.
Really like MacGyver please don’t cancel it
