I've grown up with Macgyver, and since I was a kid I've loved it! Now this is one of the rare 1980's action series, were the hero doesn't just pick up a gun and start shooting at his enemies. In fact MacGyver never kills at all, and this I found very inspiring as a kid as well as now.
And the fact that he does not always simply knock out the bad guys with his fists, he use his brain and ingenuity. Truly "His mind is the ultimate weapon". And the fact that all of his "inventions" work in real life (although I wouldn't recommend trying some of them) just makes the show even more incredible and also to some extend: educational.
In many ways Richard Dean Anderson created the persona for MacGyver and I think that most would agree with me, that if any other actor were to portray him, it just wouldn't be MacGyver at all.
Now MacGyver is the kind of hero that no one can hate, and that we all should look up to. The show is both very entertaining and morally inspiring. This is and will always be my favourite TV series.
