Re: [TV orNotTV] MacGyver review - pilot

As seems to be the case with modern reboots, they take a few character names and assume that alone made the series. The characters are only barely like the originals, and the cosmetic changes don't add value to the original concept. I agree with David that much of the original series didn't age we

[TV orNotTV] MacGyver review - pilot

The reboot was developed by the same fellow we can thank for the 'new' Hawaii Five-0.  If you like that program, you might be down for this update of the 80s program. I'll admit that the original program has not aged well, based on a recent rewatch of the TV movies done shortly after the show en
