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?
I really enjoyed the first season. I became a George Eads fan from CSI. All of the cast were excellent. Happy to hear there is a season 2!
Glad it will be back! Why TV execs cancel GOOD shows and run bas ones like Undercover Boss is dumb. Too many stupid and infomercial shows on TV already! Homebound folks get tired of commercials and reruns. Maybe TV execs need to talk with some of us Seniors and stop pandering to only Millenials!!
I would be deeply upset if the show was cancelled. This is one of the best shows that stands out from all tbe other trashy reality shows on tv. It would be a huge mistake to cancel this show.
I would not have been happy had it been cancelled.
I love this show!!!
Bring it back
PLEASE BRING IT BACK
I want Macgyver Back on Friday Nights!!!
I want Macgyver back on Friday nights!
Please let me know.
So happy to hear MacGyver is renewed. I want to see reruns of the entire first season–hope that will happen soon.
Please keep MacGyver still on make season 2
I hope that MacGyver is still for season 2 please don’t cancel it please
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. I watched the original MacGyver as a kid. I was excited to see a reboot. I actually like it better than the original, because the modern version has a lot of humor and I love all the characters including the new boss, she puts jack in his place. LOL
I would’ve been VERY pissed had CBS cancelled this show. They made a HUGE mistake cancelling CSI: Miami. I don’t know what is going on with CBS but it seems to me they cancel all the GOOD shows that are worth watching, for instances Stalker, that was a GOOD show. CSI:Border patrol SUCK, CSI:Cyber SUCK but those shows are still available. CBS needs to reevaluate their protocol for cancelling shows. I LOVE LOVE LOVE MACGYVER.
This show is FANTASTIC!!! I love the characters and the awesome Mac science gadgets. The old MacGyver was cool, and usually I don’t like remakes of old shows but this is so well done. It reminds me of a mixture between Psych and Hawaii Five o but with a super science nerd who can make stuff happen with everyday objects. I am so excited for the second season, I can’t wait until it comes out!!!
So happy MacGyver is renewed I look for Friday nights, MacGyver then Hawaii 50 great looking man night. Love the new little boss lady. Thanks for renewing MacGyver.
