The original MacGyver TV show enjoyed a seven season run back in the 1980s and was a ratings success for ABC. How will this new version perform for CBS? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned to find out.

What do you think? Do you like the MacGyver TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season CBS?
Best show on tv. I love it and Lucas Till is gourgous.
I think it should continue! I love the original and I love the remake!!
I love this show and I it stays on the air for a Long Time.
I don’t understand that this is now being renewed for a third season.. And that it attracts so many viewers. Apart from Eads’ the acting is awful . And let’s not mention the terrible plots. I mean, even Hawaii 5-0 isn’t as bad.. And they are bad..
I can’t wait to watch it Netflix so good one need more of it. Semptember 29 at 8 so ready to watch families wish little like 1980’s think Henry wrinkler still excevitve producer again.
Love macgyver
Love this show!! Hope they keep it going.
I am very glad this is going on for another season, it is one of the few shows we can all watch together as a family. Plus, my son LOVES this show!
Watched MacGyver tonight. Mattie, the boss, is taking away from the show and why is she being shown as a “bitchy” boss. If MacGyver was smart he would just leave. May stop watching if she continues to be on.
