    I don't like MacGyver, I love it. :D

    I used to watch it all the time on ABC and in reruns. I havn't seen it in years. Murdock is also one of the all time great villians. One of my favorite episodes is when MacGyver and Murdock join forces to rescue Murdock's sister.

    In my opinion MacGyver is up there with James Bond and Indiana Jones as one of the best action heros ever.

    Remember, the never found his body. ;)

    I use to watch that show all the time when I was a kid. I remember one episode where he started a car by throwing two eggs in the engine.

    Cool Gobi-1! :D yeah,they currently show it on TV land at 2:00 P.M. (EST). :)

    Murdock is also one of the all time great villians. One of my favorite episodes is when MacGyver and Murdock join forces to rescue Murdock's sister.

    Yeah I agree! The murdock episodes are some of the best.here's a quote I like from one of them,

    State Trooper: (After Murdock falls down a mine shaft) "We didn't find a body.But,we'll keep looking.There's no way a fella could've survived a fall like that"

    Macgyver: You don't know Murdock.

    I just thought that was cool! :D

    Yeah, Murdock was the best.

    One of my favorite episodes is when MacGyver and Murdock join forces to rescue Murdock's sister.

    Was that the one with the H.I.T. training course that Murdock and MacGyver had to find their way through? That was great...Murdock was sniveling and whining the whole way through, while Mac was the man who led his way through.

    Yeah it had several different settings. The first one was a Chicago setting. It had a bunch of dummies dressed a gagster firing real tommy guns at MacGyver and Murdock and they had to get passed them.

    The next level was I belive a Vietnam or Korean War setting where they had to crawl on their bellys to get passed the machine gun fire.

    The final level was an Indiana Jones like setting were Murdock's sister was tied up on the other side of a snake pit. MacGyver took kerosene from some nearby tiki torches and they put it on the shoes so it would repell the snakes.

    I also love the Indiana Jones-ish episode where MacGyver finds the a lost temple that has has a blue diamond in it. The remove the diamond and the walls push in and it releases a huge stone that chases them down a long tunnel.

    Thanks for all the responses guys! :) Also, DarthMaul13 ,I found a description of the episode you mentioned.From TV Land.com,

    41 - Bushmaster
    MacGyver is called on to rescue an American cargo pilot being held on espionage charges in Central America. In his free time, he: plugs radiator holes with egg whites and he makes a rifle shoot by itself using a rock and string.

    Yeah,that part's awsome! :)


    And now for some good Macgyver quotes. :D

    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Lisa (A friend of Macgyvers):How do you come up with this stuff?

    Mac: Well,the stuff's already there.I just find a different way to use it.

    ~~~~~~~~~
    Sam Malloy (Mac's son):So uh,where to?

    Mac: Somewhere else.

    (Btw,the reason that line's cool is because it was the last line of the last episode,just as they're riding off on motercycles.)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    Mac:There's nothing you can't fix if you've got a swiss army knife,a roll of ductape,and your wits.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    If you guys think of some more good quotes.Post'em here! :)

    MacGyver is the man! Much beter than Bond. Bond had tons of gadgets at his diosposal to get out of every jam. MacGyver was pure intellect baby. That was such a great series.

    I miss him. but at least now we have a worthy replacement...Jack Bauer.
