Shoutout to that episode of MacGgyver (1985) where he brings his girlfriend home only to find his female cop friend and a young lady he helped get off the streets are at his house uninvited. And then all of them sit around on his couch and have a gossip session and talk about his fear of commitment. While he's sitting there with them. And then he goes upstairs and has his second episode-long-dream where he's a cowboy.

The woe of being into old shows that have since gotten a TV show or movie reboot so all I see when I look it up is the reboot 😔

Im rewatching the 1980's version of Macgyver, and the amount of infinite rizz that man has with both men and women is insane. The 2016 version is Nerdy™. The 1980's version is not only Nerdy™, but also hot and suave and charming. This mans ability to be serious, yet endearingly witty at the same time is amazing to witness.

For the Stargate peeps, do we think this black jacket made an encore appearance somewhere around 1969?

My Sister asked me to make her a MacGyver wallpaper so I might as well share it to you guys too.

Reboot MacGyver writers: We have to make sure that every episode is consistent and furthers the story we're trying to tell.

Original MacGyver writers: So yeah, he's going to fight bigfoot this episode.

Oh what I'd give for Mac to call me at 3am just to nerd out about something about science that he's probably hyper fixating on or maybe he had some late night thought that he can't get out of head.

Can't believe they made the crypt scene from Spn's Goodbye Stranger in MacGyver.........

Bigfoot on MacGyver

A major part is played by the fabled cryptid known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or Skunk-Ape in the MacGyver television series' third season episode "Ghost Ship". The episode tells a more somber tale of corporate wrongdoing and government overreach while fusing the legendary tales around this elusive creature. The plot synopsis describes how MacGyver finds a Russian ship that is marooned with traces of violence and a massive, bloody handprint that is too big to be human while mapping the area for a proposed wildlife sanctuary. MacGyver enters the ship with his curiosity stirred and meets a fearsome hairy beast that appears to confirm Bigfoot's reality. Following a terrifying encounter, he makes off with Karin, a Russian stowaway.

MacGyver and Karin finally learn that the "Bigfoot" is actually a man dressed like an ape who uses loud roars transmitted over speakers to drive people away from an illegal oil pipeline he and his crew are building. They escape the monster's pursuit into the forest. It is discovered that the Sasquatch tale is a sophisticated hoax designed to conceal environmental wrongdoings and corporate crime. The episode maintains the myth of Bigfoot alive in its latter moments, despite this disheartening denial of its existence. A spine-tingling Sasquatch cry is heard from the woods just when it looks like the mystery has been solved, raising the possibility that the real creature is still alive. This deftly reignites the curiosity about the possibility that Bigfoot actually exists. Thus, Bigfoot plays a multifaceted function in this MacGyver episode. A classic TV monster, the cryptid raises the stakes and produces thrilling action/adventure sequences by being a menacing and threatening force. The massive beast pursuing MacGyver gives the plot excitement and intensity. More importantly, though, Bigfoot represents the made-up boogeymen, conspiracy theories, and urban legends that corporate interests use to deceive the public and shield their dubious practices from scrutiny. The sound effects and "Bigfoot" ape outfit are propaganda devices used to hide the oil company's illegal pipeline from inspection by the government.

Consequently, even after being exposed as a fake, the Sasquatch tale continues to have a seductive degree of believability. The episode seems to imply that perhaps undiscovered animals like Bigfoot do indeed lurk in the shadowy recesses of nature, unnoticed by modern science, just as sinister corporate companies would fabricate contemporary monoliths to preserve their interests. The persistent screams of Bigfoot perpetually invite the curious to never stop discovering new things. This MacGyver episode skillfully mixes the magical folklore surrounding Bigfoot with modern corporate misconduct, using the fabled cryptid as a metaphor for the mysteries, myths, and urban legends that still endure in our contemporary world. If we can look past the staged disinformation tactics of the self-serving and Powers That Be, Bigfoot stands for the sense of awe and limitless scientific discoveries yet to be made. Perhaps in the form of massive, hairy bipedal hominids, the truth still exists.
