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.

I love the Tv series “MacGyver ” . In Italy, it have just finished the first season and I really hope that renewed this serie also in Italy. I love actors, how the Tv series is structured and the type of series. Every tuesday I saw this series with my parents and now we are very sad that it is finished. We really want to see the season two.

I love this show! It’s amazing, I love the characters and of course, Mac, but I would have Ben devastated if it had been canceled
I like the new show say well as the original
Very happy that their is a season two
I was a big fan of the original MacGyver with Richard Dean Anderson and I watched it all the time in the 80’s and 90’s. I like shows where science meets the humanities and intelligent solutions to difficult situations are found. In general, I don’t like remakes, but I was extremely impressed when I saw one of the episodes last spring, by chance. I was hooked and I can’t wait until the new season starts in Sept.
Great show. All the characters are superb!
