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?
Love the show. wont ever miss an episode. They get better every week, more of a team. His roommate is a hoot. Go for season 2 a no-brainer.
Please continue the series. This is a really great show and keep it going.
Ok I was really scared for the reboot, I loved the original series. I was scared, but I am so happy with how they’ve done this. They’ve changed it enough that it’s it’s own show, but they’ve kept the core of the show the same I feel. I will cry so hard if it’s cancelled. Don’t listen to what the critics are saying, listen to what the fans are saying! Critics, their job is to be critical of movies, in a good or a bad way, but I feel like if the fans love it, the fans will continue watching… Read more »
no please dont cancel this series
This show is in its first season and the ratings are awful. However, the ratings are better than the ratings for Code Black. If you have to get rid of one, which one do you keep?
Was a huge fan of the original and I love this just as much. I think Lucas is the perfect Macgyver and George is a better jack dalton than the original. I love the way the rebooted this show which is now one of my favorites!!
Love it! Keep it! Each episode gets better! I DVR it and I’m fixin to watch last night’s episode now! Mac is Hot!
I watch it – just because there’s nothing else on Friday nights. But, it is a bit 70’s style cornball-ish. Also, I found the Stepin Fetchit character (aka, my man Friday), played by Justin Hires, a bit superfluous and annoying.
Give it at least one more season
I love Macgyver I think it’s funny had a lot of action and love how Macgyver comes up with different things for different situations. Please give it a chance
Love the show appreciate that it is a clean family show !!!
I think they should keep it going . If they are trying for that age demographic Friday night might not be the time to place it .
I enjoy it as a clean family show . I appreciate that .
Like the show, give it a chance! Enjoying each week, definitely getting better with each episode!
The show is getting better with each episode. Keep it running as it seems to be improving with episode.
I really like it. As I enjoyed the previous MacGyver, this show keeps improving with each episode. I would like it to continue for a long time.
