The MacGyver Foundation

The Fixer
Like James Bond - but without the high-tech gadgets Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is one of
those rare beings who can avert any crisis without
mussing a hair. MacGyver's secret: the everyday items
he “finds along the way,” like matches or gum
wrappers, and the ingenuity to put them to a myriad of
uses (a background in physics and chemistry doesn't
hurt). Wits are MacGyver's weapon of choice.
137 episodes aired from 1985 to 1992 for seven
seasons on ABC including six seasons as the lead-in
for “Monday Night Football”.
