During its first season on CBS, the MacGyver TV show reboot didn’t exactly set new demo ratings records. However, it was among the Tiffany Network’s 10 most-watched programs, which was enough to score it a second season renewal. Does it have enough bubble gum and paper clips to go for a repeat? Will MacGyver be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A CBS action-adventure series, MacGyver stars Lucas Till, George Eads, Tristin Mays, Justin Hires, and Meredith Eaton. The reimagined drama centers on Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Till), a 20-something adventurer. Mac creates a secret organization within the US government. There, he uses his vast scientific knowledge and extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving to save the world.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The first season of MacGyver on CBS averaged a rating in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and a total audience of million (live + same day).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Keep this show going renew please. Mac Gyver inspires my 9 year old inventor and my 6 year old spy to do their science , math and other work. I really like this show we use it in homeschooling, it teaches teamwork, ingenuity, thinking outside of the box ( my 9 year old has caught on to this and has come up with solution to many things just like Mac Gyver) Great team, great level of effect for even the young. Just a great show.

Macgyver and Hawaii five O are the only reason I watch CBS please renew both or you will lose a viewer.
I like this MacGyver better than the original one and the original one was really good. Please renew it. The cast is amazing and they have a wonderful chemistry. Each actor brings their own unique pizzazz to the show. Please, please renew it for Season 3!
