So i`m also occupying my free time these days by watching Season 1 of "MacGyver." Good ol` MacGyver. Did you know that you can put out an oil well fire with nitro-glucerin? Or that MacGyver was so folksy? "He`s part Boy Scout, part genius. And all hero." (back of the box) I`m having a lot of fun watching these old episodes but i`ve decided to alternate MacGyver with that other spy classic "Get Smart" since they`re making it into a new movie. You just can`t beat the originals. Both of them are terribly dated (Cold War, anyone?) and hilarious, though Get Smart is actually MEANT to be hilarious. I also love that, according to the logic of television, all people in the world speak English, just with different accents.
Also (i just became aware of this), did you know that Henry Winkler was one of the producers on MacGyver? That`s right "The Fonz" (sp?) from Happy Days was a producer on a whole bunch of shows throughout the `80s and `90s, including MacGyver (for 74 full episodes!!!). Weird.
AND, did you know that Teri Hatcher was a guest star on MacGyver? One episode each season for roughly 6 years. She was 22 in MacGyver`s first season!! Woah! I almost didn`t recognize her with her hair all poofed up and her voiced all squeaky and playing a total ditz. You`ve come a long way, baby. Oh wait...
