The "MacGyverisims" shown in the series are all based on scientific fact, but not all of the steps needed to create the experiment were shown. This was done to prevent children who were watching the show from duplicating the experiments themselves and possibly getting injured.
As a kid, I was brought up with a couple of TV-heroes that I adored over all, and that I wanted to be just like. One of these heroes was special agent/survival-expert Angus MacGyver, a guy that, unlike other action-series heroes, didn't grab the nearest firearm when things got hot. For him, an used paper clip, the wrap from a bubblegum, a spring from the bottom of a rusty old bed and his trusty Swiss army knife (which has become MacGyver's trademark) would do the job. The thing with MacGyver is that it's original. Rare to any other series today, it focuses on the brain instead of brute force, which is actually a good thing, considering that television today is heading for a more "brains-off, action-on"-attitude. Angus MacGyver hates weapons and therefore never uses them, but instead, combining limited resources, he finds simple and elegant ways of dealing with the problem at hand. And the best part is, that (atleast in theory) MacGyver's inventions would really work, making it even more fascinating (even though some of them are not to be recommended to try). Admittably, some of the episodes may not feature the best acting according to modern-day standards, and some of the ideas and solutions may be slightly used up, but seeing as the series aired in the mid-80's, I don't find it in anyway disturbing, rather the opposite, I find MacGyver to be a true treasure among the TV-series of today, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys wit, humor and a good time spent getting surprised by the geniousness of MacGyver's contraptions!

MacGyver : If I had some duct tape, I could fix that.

Following a recent hack on Wikidot servers conducted from the Russia territory, as well massive abuse of human rights, international laws and sovereignty of other countries, we have decided to block access to Wikidot to the following regions: Russian Federation and Belarus.

We cannot stay quiet about the fact that over the last years we've seen numerous abuse and hacking attempts of Wikidot services originating in Russia territory. Now, since the start of war in Ukraine, these incidents increased in numbers and started posing a real threat. We cannot accept the fact that such attacks on foreign companies and institutions are silently approved or even encouraged by the Russian state.

As a result we cannot provide services in countries that do not respect common human values and at the same time pose a threat to Wikidot itself.

Although we believe there are good people in both Russia and Belarus, our decision to block Wikidot is a direct result of recent abuse and hacking events and state-level policy of these countries.

Пасля нядаўняга ўзлому сервераў Wikidot з тэрыторыі Расіі, а таксама масавых парушэнняў правоў чалавека, міжнародных законаў і суверэнітэту іншых краін, мы вырашылі заблакаваць доступ да Wikidot для наступных рэгіёнаў: Расійскай Федэрацыі і Беларусі.

Нельга маўчаць пра тое, што за апошнія гады мы назіраем шматлікія злоўжыванні і спробы ўзлому сэрвісаў Wikidot, якія паходзяць з тэрыторыі Расіі. Цяпер, з пачатку вайны ва Ўкраіне, гэтыя інцыдэнты павялічыліся і сталі ствараць рэальную пагрозу. Мы не можам змірыцца з тым, што такія напады на замежныя кампаніі і ўстановы моўчкі ўхваляюцца ці нават заахвочваюцца расійскай дзяржавай.

У выніку мы не можам аказваць паслугі ў краінах, якія не паважаюць агульначалавечыя каштоўнасці і ў той жа час прадстаўляюць пагрозу для самой Wikidot.

Нягледзячы на тое, што мы лічым, што і ў Расіі, і ў Беларусі ёсць добрыя людзі, наша рашэнне заблакаваць Wikidot з'яўляецца прамым вынікам нядаўніх злоўжыванняў і ўзломаў, а таксама дзяржаўнай палітыкі гэтых краін.

После недавнего взлома серверов Wikidot с территории России, а также массовых нарушений прав человека, международного права и суверенитета других стран, мы приняли решение заблокировать доступ к Wikidot в следующих регионах: Российская Федерация и Беларусь.

Мы не можем молчать о том, что за последние годы мы стали свидетелями многочисленных злоупотреблений и попыток взлома сервисов Wikidot, происходящих с территории России. Сейчас, с началом войны в Украине, эти инциденты участились и стали представлять реальную угрозу. Мы не можем смириться с тем, что подобные атаки на иностранные компании и учреждения молчаливо одобряются или даже поощряются российским государством.

В результате мы не можем предоставлять услуги в странах, которые не уважают общечеловеческие ценности и в то же время представляют угрозу для самого Wikidot.

Хотя мы считаем, что и в России, и в Беларуси есть хорошие люди, наше решение заблокировать Wikidot является прямым результатом недавних злоупотреблений и хакерских атак, а также государственной политики этих стран.

Angus " Mac " MacGyver is the title character and the protagonist in the TV series MacGyver . He is played by Richard Dean Anderson in the 1985 original series . Lucas Till portrays a younger version of MacGyver in the 2016 reboot . [1]

In both portrayals MacGyver is shown to possess a genius -level intellect , proficiency in multiple languages, superb engineering skills, excellent knowledge of applied physics , military training in bomb disposal techniques, and a preference for non-lethal resolutions to conflicts. MacGyver works for the fictional Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles , which in the original series was an independent think tank , and in the 2016 reboot is a clandestine government organization using the cover of a think tank. In addition to his scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items, he always carries a Swiss Army knife and refuses to carry a gun .

MacGyver is portrayed as a non-violent problem solver and typically eschews the use of guns. [a] His violent actions are performed in self-defense , and he takes non-fatal action when possible.

MacGyver is depicted as an ally to social and environmental causes. He aids vulnerable populations throughout the series. During vineyard worker strikes, MacGyver assists Latino protesters against vineyard owners. [3] MacGyver appears to have a strong connection with children, filling the role of "big brother" at the series' inception. [2] MacGyver demonstrates his allegiance to children by assisting a mountain excursion for delinquent youths. [4] MacGyver also conducts hearing research at a school for deaf children. [5] In regard to the environment, MacGyver strives to protect endangered species such as eagles, [6] the black rhino , [7] and wolves. [8] At an unspecificed date during the series, MacGyver begins practicing vegetarianism . [9]

MacGyver is characterized as persistent and spontaneous. He employs improvisation to evade anticipatory countermeasures, and his plans are difficult to thwart on account of their unpredictability. This constant spontaneity challenges MacGyver as well as his adversaries. Because MacGyver continues to operate in this manner, it is assumed the tactical advantage of spontaneity outweighs its disadvantages. This is observed by MacGyver's nemesis Murdoc .

MacGyver demonstrates mood congruence , exhibiting grief in tragedy, fear in peril, and pain in suffering. [10] This stands in contrast to exaggeratedly macho or stoic action heroes. MacGyver is depicted as introspective, and he is known to take responsibility for personal losses and tragedies. He experiences guilt when duty prevents him from attending his mother's death and funeral. He experiences depression when his best friend suffers a fatal climbing accident.

MacGyver's most-used item is his Swiss Army knife . He usually carries a roll of duct tape in his back pocket, flattened out to make it fit. Other items he often has on hand are: an ID card, a Timex Camper watch, strike-anywhere matches , a few paper clips, chewing gum, and a flashlight. He also has a toolbox in his Jeep . [11] MacGyver initially used a Jeep Cherokee and then a Jeep Wrangler beginning with Season 2, but in Season 5 he began driving his grandfather Harry's "classic" 1946 Chevrolet pickup truck. [12]

MacGyver is proficient in Russian , German , French , Italian , Spanish , [13] and American Sign Language , and knows how to use International maritime signal flags and Morse code . [14] He is an avid outdoorsman with skills that include skiing and outdoor survival. Despite an acute fear of heights, he is skilled at mountain/rock climbing, hang gliding, and parachuting - static line and ripcord / HALO . His other hobbies include ice hockey and racing, and he has shown interest in the arts of painting and guitar. [15]

His haircut is a mullet , in a clean-cut, lightly gelled variation on the classic hairstyle.

While never being in a long-term on-screen relationship, he has relationships with several women in individual episodes and several previous relationships are hinted at in flashbacks, from which he has one child. He is portrayed as being on good terms with his past romantic acquaintances.

MacGyver's first name was originally intended to be Stacey, as seen in a press release from Paramount. [16] However, it was never confirmed in any episode, and remained a mystery until the seventh season; whenever he is asked about it, he says he dislikes his first name and quickly changes the subject. His grandfather, Harry Jackson, calls him "Bud" or "Buddy". Most of his friends and colleagues call him by his last name MacGyver or simply "Mac". In the final season, his first name is canonically revealed to be Angus when, while knocked unconscious and hallucinating, he meets a 7th-century man named Ian M'Iver ("son of Ingmarr") whose son has the same first name. [17] This revelation is repeated in the series finale, which introduces MacGyver's son as having the middle name Angus, as well as on the packaging of the MacGyver DVD season sets.

MacGyver's birthdate is first seen as January 23, 1951 [18] but was then revised in season 2 as March 23, 1952 [19] [20] (the date which continued to be used for the rest of the series). (However, in Series 6 Ep 12 Jerico Games, he looks at a high school yearbook, 1968, when he was supposedly 18.) He was raised in Mission City, Minnesota . MacGyver was in the Cub Scouts . A Den Mother by the name of Mrs. Forgery taught him "backwoods common sense" and the motto "Be prepared". [21] At the age of 7, his grandmother Celia Jackson and father James MacGyver ( Martin Milner ) were killed in a car accident in which they both drowned, and MacGyver grew up with his mother, Ellen MacGyver. [22] His grandfather, Harry Jackson ( John Anderson ) acted as his father, but moved away when MacGyver was sixteen, working for a time in Alaska while sending money to MacGyver and his mother, and eventually settled down as a farmer in Minnesota. [23] At about 12 years of age, MacGyver had a traumatic experience with the accidental shooting death of a friend by a bullet from a falling gun. [24] MacGyver is a lifelong player of ice hockey , having played in his local hockey leagues and coached for a m
