MacGyver: Reboot TV series
Well it been going on project. But the movie has not been made yet. The TV series great & brilliant of Character who not much of Spy but has a little Indania Jones & bit like the Saint. He hates gun never use or carry. He's environmentalist. He fight crime his own way. He does use gadget a bit but use thing in mind to escape. Played By Richard Dean Anderson Who has character in him. His Boss is Pete Thornton also a friend. His arc Enemy is Murdoch who dies but his body never found come back to life & dies again. For the movie I only think of Christian Bale. Richard Dean Anderson can the Boss Peter Thornton or uncredited role.

What be so funny is that i see some grow in time with in between watched Quantum Leap. In Leap you can see the kid from 902010 and the girl from back to the future 2. I also watched in between The Incredible Hulk. From those 2 i also own the complete series. Walter Gotell also get a part in Airwolf twice. Atleast, because i must stil see Season 3 (not own yet) and 4. Sliders also be on my wishlist.
For a new Macgyver movie Dean Anderson should return and take over that goverment years a go. There should write a scene where Macgyver visit Pete Thornton grave, the actor don't live any more and best thing to is to let this chacter not return. Macgyver having now a prive life with a son and no wife. This son can be played by Nathan Fillion from Castle. Nathan Fillion is from 1971, Anderson from 1950.

Lucas Till (26 in August) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1395771/ Examples of movies you can see earlier are X-men First Class, Stoker and World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles.
To be honest while many are upset on the hiatus 007 is having A) at least it isn't as bad as macgyver fans which even if we count the excellent comic book series from 2012 we still have a 4 year wait...
B) the fact it's coming back this fall has made me almost to busy to notice the delay with bond 25
While many scoff at the original my hope is that the reboot will be basically a Casino Royale for the character so people will realize how truly great the character is... Again a spy who is smart tough and tactical who doesn't use guns or gadgets but his wits and knowledge of science and mechanic to win.... That is freaked cool.
Agreed He must make appearance. I find him in facebook to considered a part in new MacGyver TV series or Movie version
So happy :D
And this is why Doubleego you win as long as this show does well and I get my Macgyver fix for a few years I am happy so very very happy
Why do they always think they have to cast boys to renew series/franchises these days. He's 25, the real MacGyver was 35 and had real life experience. That's just wrong and probably will not work.
I predict a huge failure. They failed at every attempt so far to renew classic tv-shows.
Judging from the trailer, the new MacGyver will have a difficult time convincing the old fans to watch this.
Having said all this I'm totally excited, George Eads will rock and maybe save this show. At least there will be one season. Can't wait.
And I admit I LIKED Charlie's Angels 2011, Knight Rider 2008 and Kojak 2005.
In the soap/drama genre there have been a couple of re-done/continued shows like Beverly Hills and Dallas that lasted for more than two seasons.
Let's start with what I don't like
1. The music for the trailer: even the horrible ghostbusters trailer had the classic theme sort of... The lack of good Macgyver music or even generic espionage music kind of bugs me slightly. My hope is with Peter (from Hawaii 5-0) the theme will return similar to Hawaii 5-0
2. He doesn't introduce himself: a minor complaint but "Hi Name's Macgver" to me is right up there with "I'm Batman" and "My Name's Bond James Bond" not that I want him to constantly introduce himself but like I said its minor but I want to hear Till say the classic line
3. No mention of his grandfather?: again a minor complaint the line "my father always said every thing I need is right in front of me" bothers me slightly as In the original it was always his grandfather that tought him things now mind you its just the pilot all scenes are from but I hope later on Mac's grandfather is introduced (and maybe even played by Richard Dean Anderson)
Things that don't bother me but every else doesn't like
1. His hair: shrugs it just doesn't bother me at all I know a lot of people say it's too long but the mullet wasn't going to come back and Mac with really short hair is well odd same with Bond having really long hair.... So for the first season I am fine with it
2. The bow and arrow: I am siding with Rdolev here. Again I see no difference beteween the bow and arrow and the bomb and vent in both instances it is clear to me at least Mac is trying to stop the bad guys from escaping and well he does a good job of it. Kiwi I am sorry you don't like it and I do hope the rest of the show you and everyone here likes as well come on its new Macgyver lets be happy about this
3. Friday night time slot: shrugs who cares in this day of TiVo and prerecording television and enjoying it when we want I just don't see Friday night as a death toll as many others do.
Things I love
1. Lucas Till as Macgyver: I love it!!! This is fantastic casting he really feels like a younger version of RDA and I am so happy about it. I don't know how Winkler casted the role perfectly three times but wow
2. The last line of the trailer: the bubblegum and q-tip thing was awesome and funny
3. Pretty much all of the macgyverism and the locations feel spot on smile.gif
Over all I am quite happy
About the hair: probably done purposely to make him look not too pretty-boyish. We will see if he keeps that hairdo.
Lucas Till is great. I just feel they should have cast someone older. This is really like they would cast a 25 year old Bond.
For me personally George Eads is the most valuable asset in this new show. He is highly popular and he is freaking great and I can't wait to see him finally in something else than CSI.
The TV reboot of Charlie's Angels was amazing! I think Bond and Batman are in better hands to be honest. Just my opinion this reboot does not grab me at all.
The trailer is to heavy made with that music, Mac is back is strange (Something you can use with second season.) and not like it whant to update with Batman Begins plane and his father never murder. But atleast he look like on his father.
Need some time/hard lessen before he can stay in shoes of his father.
I loved it...
First and fore most my wife who doesn't like Macgyver period actually paid attention to tonight episode (she's nurse) and pointed out for the first time (in either the old or new series) the Macgyverisms were realistic.. I disagree as many magyverisms from the first show the TV movies an even young MacGyver and the new show are realistic but... still She is slowly getting interested :D
but beyond that how do I feel.. well for on I feel like I am betraying the original series as I love the new show this episode is by and large the best one so far but lets do the lists as I have been doing for each show so for
Negatives
1. Wilt Bowzer...I have tried to like this character believe me I have tried I just find him so annoying
2. Thornton is back to too serious I feel I guess there was no moments for her to show her humanity but still I don't know if it's how the part is written or h actress I mean episode 2 showed her closer to Pete and episode 3 she is back to being Dench's M for lack of a better term
3. the guest star was a bit too annoying...
4. couldn't the do the "parental figure drama" garbage with Mac's grandfather who played that cliché role before it became a cliché role in T.V.'s Again cast RDA as Harry Jackson (or if he is so dead set you know what Brue McGill would make a decent Harry to be honest)
Positives
1. OMG the punch/shake of thing RDA does TILL DID!!!
2. Eads and Till have such great chemistry whoever said they don't (referring to the pilot) is either nuts or doesn't know what chemistry is. he graveyard scene the beer scene all of it was great.
3. ALL THE MACGYVERISM WERE ORIGINAL!!!!!! So happy not once did I say "oh wow they did the same thing in ..." and al of them were really cool plus I remember the big fear was Mac was going to be some annoying hacker person and with that fear the line "I am not the be with computers while everyone else on my block was playing with programs on their laptop I took mine apart to see how it worked" I laughed so hard
4. Till continues to be PERFECT he is better then any actor I pictured.
So excited for episode 4 as this is the first time an actor is going to be both from the original series and in the new series
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0059946/?ref_=tt_cl_t7
so looking forward to seeing the return of actor Elya Baskn to the world of Macgyver
