I remember my aunt and uncle watched it. I liked it ok but wasn't into it like I was some other shows at the time, not sure why. I liked Richard Dean Anderson much more as Jack O'Neill in the Stargate series. But obviously MacGyver has become an internet meme and I have to admit was a good archetype for resourcefulness - the ultimate Boy Scout, able to improv just about anything he needed for any situation - a one man A-Team. One of the least of the classic wholesome family action hero TV shows before things started getting 'gritty'.
I watched this with my family in my younger days, very younger. I have a few memories of being in awe of Macgyver. He always was so calm under pressure and the way he escaped all the time was brilliant.
I also clearly remember one time he came on after his show and gave a little speech (out of character) to the kids. Saying something along the lines of gangs are bad, but I can't remember exactly. Why did people stop doing that, probably not good for the ratings?
