MacGyver is the safe answer, but he sure did put together an amazing string of appearances and roles...

I played that Fallout game.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

In 1992, he starred in both IN THE EYES OF A STRANGER and THROUGH THE EYES OF A KILLER on CBS.

I would say the highlight is his badass hairdo.

Being Selma and Patty's fantasy.

I am so sad that the MacGyver Junior program didn't get put on the fall schedule!

It's just a spectacular body of work, really. Even Europeans should be able to appreciate.

He put together a string of appearances and roles. Amazing they were not.

Here are some B-list actors that have careers that are way more "amazing" than that Anderson putz:

Robert Guillaume
Alex Karras (who played both the dad on "Webster" and Mongo in Blazing Saddles. Betcha didn't know that.)
John Ritter
Jeff Conaway

I love him in Stargate SG-1 - best thing about the show!

I wonder how history would've changed if The Parkers, which was apparantly a failed spinoff of Facts of Life, had been picked up?

Dude Kenan was there a sign on this thread saying "All Heberts come talk shit plz?"

MacGyver is the safe answer because it's the AWESOME answer because MacGyver is fucking AWESOME and dude that episode where he had to fight those robots that had the lasers was so AWESOME OMG dude you have no fucking clue. MacGyver + Killer Robots = easily in my prepubescent top ten, NQA. They kept leaving out ingredients whenever he made explosives and such, though. Phooey.

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 02:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow - I didn't know that he did any movies. Actually, I didn't get all of the Simpson's references to MacGyver until it went into reruns on TV Land (raised without a TV - yadda, yadda, yadda).

Do you ever come across an old post that makes you wonder just how many of bottles of wine you have have had that evening?

I liked the Legend show.

'Mythbusters' Gets All 'MacGyver' On Us
February 7, 2008

What do you get when you take one of Discovery Channel’s most popular shows, and combine it with one of the kitschiest shows the late 1980’s and early 1990’s had to offer?

I dare say you get pretty darn good television. For their 100th episode, airing February 20, the crew over at Mythbusters are tackling some of the most famous impromptu inventions by mullet bearing TV star MacGyver.

In a preview clip screened by B&C, Adam and Jamie test to see whether pure sodium, immersed in water, can really cause an explosive chemical reaction big enough to bust down a wall. The small scale results looked promising.

The team will also see if it is possible to build a plane a plane out of bamboo, duct tape and a small engine (below). The episode will conclude with a MacGyver challenge, pitting co-hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman against one another in a timed competition to see who can match MacGyver’s creativity in picking locks, developing film with household liquids, building a compass and designing a homemade signaling device for attracting the attention of a rescue helicopter.

Wait, that makes no sense. The writers on Macgyver said that they would deliberately leave one thing out "so that the kids won't blow up the kitchen" or somesuch.

― kingfish, Saturday, 9 February 2008 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

I think Adam and Jamie are smarter than kids.
