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.
On MacGyver, a twenty-something adventurer named Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till) creates a secret organization within the US government. Mac uses his extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving and vast scientific knowledge to save lives. Co-starring are George Eads, Sandrine Holt, Tristin Mays, and Justin Hires.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

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?
We watch the show, but the new boss lady and the constant negative attitude is getting old. By the look of the recent drop in ratings we may not be the only ones who are tiring with this part of the story line.
Just started watching this show. Pleasantly surprised. Enjoy watching. It was nice to see that it has been renewed.
Love the show. Enjoyed the original. Love to see Richard Dean Anderson as a guest star on the new version.
Renew, I grew up with the first and wanting more with the current.
My entire family loves watching MacGyver, it’s our Friday night popcorn and movie time.
Please don’t cancel.
It’s fun exciting and clean. Not very many shows can claim that but you can.
Thank you
Definitely want to continue watching. Renew for another season or 2…!!
Renew. Enjoy both the old and new.

Please renew for season2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Stop comparing it to the original, this show is good as its own, and deserves another season
Please, renew for 2,3,4,5-100 Seasons please
Cancel this terrible remake. The actor playing McGiver is too young and I find it hard to believe he could do any of the tricky tricks I can’t watch it because it seems so contrived
I love that series, please renew for season 2
