MacGyver (1985-1992) IMDB Listing
Comments:
MacGyver was an agent of the humanitarian Phoenix Foundation, who had an immeasurable amount of scientific knowledge. He was able to use this knowledge to take innocuous equipment and make devices that would aid him in escapes and traps and other situations. The only time this wore thin was when he would dismantle an available gun and use its parts (such as using an automatic weapon to open a fire hydrant), rather than just use the gun. He was like a 'green' (environmentally friendly) secret agent.
