Celebrating a quarter century of "MacGyver" tomorrow

[revdorothyl]

I probably won't get a chance to post tomorrow on the actual 25th anniversary of the airing of the first "MacGyver" episode in the U.S., so I figured I'd better lay my annual (and increasingly seedy-looking) tribute on the altar of my TV religion today.

So here it is (again), slightly revised (again): my "Ode on the Feast Day of St. MacGyver".

I remembering being little and kissing the television screen every time MacGyver came on and my mother attempting to explain to me that MacGyver was her age. My young heart didn't care. It loved him and it still loves him today.

I still love him too (though I was in graduate school when the series premiered, and so not much younger than your mom and our dear Mac!).

That's awesome. My brother-in-law recently retired his MACGYVER license plate - I know who to send this to!

Thank you!

I love him too! Clutches McG possessively to heart. And SG1 without RDA is rubbish!

And SG1 without RDA is rubbish!

I'd argue that any "Stargate" that lacks regular doses of Jack O'Neill is the poorer for it. A couple of my favorite episodes of SGA achieved that status because of General Jack O'Neill's major role in the story-line. (Jack and Woolsey on the loose in a Replicator-controlled Atlantis? Priceless!)
And RDA's brief guest spots are about the only thing that's persuaded me to continue taping episodes of SGU to watch/fast-forward through later.
