MacGyver on CBS.com!

Thanks to Hulu and a sudden urge to get some old fashion Mac Action, I went online to see if they have full episodes of MacGyver anywhere. Turns out CBS.com has the entire series under TV Classics on their website. Words cannot express how awesome this is.

Uh, what's MacGyver???? And what's so awesome about it??

Oh, you poor deprived child.

MacGyver is a series that started in the mid-80s and ended early 90s. It's about a genius special agent who only takes himself seriously if he has to, even though he's pretty much the best of the best and he's the guy they send in when everything (and everyone) else has failed. He's also a Chemistry genius and can make a bomb out of hot pepper and chewing gum. Or something - I know he made a bomb out of cold medication and... something else that is otherwise mostly innocent but turns all chemistry-ey when you break it down into it's main molecules (you know how my dad was making water explode? Yeah, kinda like that) in the very first episode.

So, yeah, he's a huge cultural icon. And my dad's hero. And the Mythbusters hero (which is another show you have probably never watched, but it is freaking awesome and they blow stuff up at least once every episode). On the off chance you ever get any time, you should totally check out one of the episodes off CBS.com.
