Actor Henry Winkler was co-producer of this action-adventure
series about a rugged, handsome hero who preferred to use
paper clips and candy bars rather than more conventional
weapons. MacGyver was a former Special Forces agent now
working for the Phoenix Foundation, a "think tank" dedicated
to righting wrongs and defeating bad guys around the world.
A clever fellow, he often slipped past the enemy's defenses
and undermined their foul plans with ingenuity rather than
brute force, using tidbits of scientific knowledge and
ordinary items that happened to be lying around; for example,
the paper clip might be used to short-circuit a nuclear
missle, the candy bar to stop an acid leak, or a cold capsule
to ignite a makeshift bomb, all just in the nick of time.
MacGyver could work wonders with the contents of a lady's
handbag! His assignments came from Peter Thornton, the
Director of Field Operations for the Foundation.
In later seasons the series became increasingly issue-
oriented, tackling such subjects as Thorntons's blindness,
the environment, and teenage runaways. An infrequently seen
but memorable character was MacGyver's nemesis, the evil
Murdoc. Nikki was MacGyver's brief romantic interest,
and Dalton his ne'er-do-well friend.
Like many TV heroes, MacGyver had no first name--until the
last season when, in a dream sequence, he was transported
back to midieval times to find his ancestors. There, written
in flame on a castle wall, was his name: Angus!
In the last regular episode, MacGyver discovered the son he
never knew he had--a young man named Sean "Sam" Malloy
(Dalton James)--and the two got on their motorcycles
and rode off into the sunset to bond.
