UFO plus Area 51 may be one of my favourite episodes.

Peak Jack antics.

All the mad cap scientist with a grumpy old scientist.

And those dorks being all cute under the stars.

MacGyver Thought of the Day: How many things have Mac and Bozer stolen from Mrs. Schwartz next door? At what point does she give them a key so they stop breaking her lock/window?

ETA: Also, what else have they stolen from the Hendersons? I need more information about Mac's neighbors and what they think about the weird boys who live on the hill.

MacGyver (1985-1992) The Gauntlet

S1E4

In the opening gambit, Mac gets a map with a troublesome Arab regime's plans from a heavily guarded garrison and uses its cleverly as main tool for his surprise escape. In the main story, Mac is sent by a publisher to retrieve press photographer Kate Connelly from a corrupt Central American country, but she insists to finish her assignment first, so he helps her exposing the secret police chief, General Antonio Vasquez, who is suspected to plan a coup, making a secret arms deal with mobster Dave Ryerson, an old adversary of Mac. They are caught, but Mac uses all his tricks to escape and get the photos out too, impressive enough to turn her into a frisky friend, while the army uses all its resource to chase them to the Mexican border stream...

I am about half way through season 4.

The number of times Mac and Desi have mentioned all the things that don't work between them and...

Yet.

And yet.

I have seen some terrible approaches to relationships but wtf were the writers on????

I think the main reason I just can't get behind those two is because THEY KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD THEY ARE TOGETHER.

S01E06 Wrench Missing Scene

~~! Five Years Ago !~~

Charlie hurried into the infirmary and stopped the first nurse he spotted.  "Angus MacGyver.  Is he here?"

"EOD Specialist?" she asked as her eyes skimmed the patch on his arm that proclaimed him part of EOD.

"That's him."

"He's down there, last door on the left."

He jogged down the hall, dodging a couple of slow-moving patients along the way, and then knocked a couple of times on the closed door.  Without waiting for an answer, he cracked the door open and stuck his head inside. 

The room was dimly lit and held two beds.  The far bed was empty, and the closer one was occupied by his friend.  Mac looked like shit.  He was pale, even in the low light, and he exuded misery.  His arm was thrown over his eyes, and he didn't move when Charlie entered. 

"Hey, Mac," Charlie greeted quietly.  "How are you doing?"

"Charlie?"  Mac moved his arm and tried to sit up, but the movement must have been nauseating.  He put one hand to his stomach and the other over his mouth as he swallowed hard. 

"Should I get the nurse?"

"I'm okay," Mac replied quickly.  He leaned back against his pillow and closed his eyes for a moment. 

"You're looking a little green there, buddy."

Mac gestured to his head.  "Mild concussion.  I'll be out of here tomorrow."

Charlie nodded and pulled a chair closer to the bed.  "What happened out there?  Is Peña..."

Mac looked away, and Charlie watched as he seemed to shrink into himself, hugging his arms around his torso.  "We got a call about a bomb inside a building.  The robot broke down again, so Peña told me to fix it while he took care of the device.  The radio fritzed out, and then," Mac paused to clear his throat, "there was an explosion."

Slowly reaching out, Charlie put a hand on Mac's shoulder and squeezed gently.  "There was nothing you could have done."

"It should have been me," Mac whispered, tears falling in slow tracks down his cheeks.

"Don't say that."

Mac scrubbed his hands over his face and let out a shuddering breath.  "I wish he'd given me the five minutes to fix the bot.  I wish I knew what happened inside that building.  I wish he was still here."

Charlie patted his shoulder, hoping he was offering some small measure of comfort.  "I know, man, but Peña wouldn't want you to think like that.  He knew what could happen out there in the sandbox."

"He was about to be a dad.  Now-"

"Hey, you can't beat yourself up about this.  Peña made the call to go inside the building, and you couldn't have changed his mind."

Mac shrugged off Charlie's hand and turned slowly onto his side with his back to Charlie.  "I'm tired."

Sighing, Charlie stood and headed for the door.  "Get some rest.  I'll check on you tomorrow."

Mac didn't respond as Charlie stepped out of the room and quietly shut the door.  He'd have to keep an eye on Mac for a little while to make sure that he'd be okay.
