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?
I really enjoy the show and would like it to continue without Miranda. If Miranda stays I won’t continue to watch it. MacGyver and Jack are good together.
Macgyver is to young to be believable so seriously it would be better played tongue in cheek.George Eads is even less believable it needs someone more rugged to be the serious one as a balance to Macgyver
i completely disagree with you there. i think they all suit their roles quite well
I love MacGyver and especially George Eads as Jack Dalton! Also love the addition of Meredith Easton – also loved her when I first saw her on CSI. The bickering between her and Dalton is hilarious!! I really hope to see a season two!
I love MacGyver until they brought the new boss in, Meredith Easton is awful.
She has to go, or I will stop watching. Thank you.
So far the show has been relatively fun and enjoyable. Cheesy certainly comes to mind most episodes and some of the story lines seem pretty hoaky and unbelievable. Up till recently I have been enjoying the combination of actors and actresses. The addition of Matty has been a huge flop in my opinion. You add in a little person and give her a child like name with a Napoleonic attitude just screams bad writing and bad casting. Not to mention the actress is not very good. Nothing about her is feasible and she would never pass the psych eval that… Read more »
I think macgyver is loads of fun! I think the newest cast member, Miranda?, is a horrible addition to the already quirky cast of characters. Her acting is flat and I find close to impossible to believe her back story. Her addition just makes the story more comical than interesting. It has turned me off the show.
I agree with the ratings. It is either good or boring. that is the writing and directing. Keep the show and evaluate the writer and director. It has the possibility of being as good as the first but it is not there yet.
I love the show, I think they should keep it
I absolutely love Lucas till in the show MacGyver. Please please please please please please please please please renew it for second season. He is adorable and he and his sidekick are hilarious together. I like your adding the little person. She is amazing.
Love the Show! Please renew for season 2! Lucas Till & George Eads are like kids, but they take their roles seriously. They pull it off. It would be a great waste of talent to pull the plug on this show. Ratings don’t show everything. #LoveYaBoys
I enjoy the show, and would like to see it renewed.
outstanding series that I love the way MacGyver uses physics other sciences
Macgyver is getting better with mor action each week so please don’t cancel it. I think the new head of the Phoenix will really keep things stirred up.
Please renew MacGyver. I love this show!!! It is very entertaining and the characters are completely likable and have wonderful chemistry with each other. I love Lucas Till as MacGyver. He has the perfect temperament for the role. I love the relationships of the characters and hope the series continues. The show is not very heavy or mean spirited. Sometimes it’s nice to watch a show where at the end of an episode, you almost feel like after you’ve hung out with friends.
I like it don’t cancel it! People who compare it to the first show shouldn’t , he is a completely different character. It may be cheesy but I get tired of the crap that’s on T.V. now. It get’s better once you get invested in the characters. Clean show need at least a few out there.
