Think the closest I saw was star trek 6 with the original crew signing off. It was touching just like this was. I like that Richard Dean Anderson personally thanked the audience as himself. Gives it that personal touch.
It's sweet, but I wouldn't want every series doing it. It would get very cheesy, and imagine the ones that were cancelled too early... "Hi, this is Nathan Fillion. On behalf of everyone at Firefly, I'd like to say 'this is some bullshit'. Bye."
For me, the most emotional moment in television history. No speeches, no nonsense, no claims. Just "thanking the audience for seven great seasons." Goosebumps.
I have to agree with you. I rewatched the entire series with my child, and it was something I’ll never forget. It was so important to me in my youth and to see a child in 2020 appreciate it was amazing.
My dad gave me Swiss Army knife for my 10th birthday (Obviously, after seeing Macguyver - I had nagged him for months) . It was 1986...I still have it and it still works as good as new.
MacGyver has been on re-run here in Norway constantly the last 23 years after the show ended...it became very popular and it still is, everybody, young and old, "knows" MacGyver :)
Guys, don't be sad, after this MacGyver joined the United States government and used an ancient alien device called the Stargate to explore the galaxy and defend the world against alien threats.
The hug was heartbreaking, because it wasn't just the last hug between MacGyver and Pete, but it was the last hug between Richard Dean Anderson and Dana Elcar as well. And you could see it in their face as well, that it wasn't just for show. It really made me cry.
Ppl say anything for attention and likes. This is completely inaccurate. They were together at an award show the following year and seen at a few events over the next decade… baseball games and premieres. Why do ppl run with these wild things in their heads?
It has a quality script, a lot of work on understanding science and technology. I guess today that kind of money would not be spent in research for an amazing script.
What Clint Eastwood did for the Smith and Wesson revolver, Richard Dean Anderson did for the Swiss Army Knife. For all seven seasons, he should have received a commission check.
We don’t know, Richard Dean Anderson just might’ve received some kind of royalties from the company that manufactured the exact Swiss Army Knife he used throughout the coarse of the show. If he did, I’m not surprised at all. Macgyver put the Swiss Army Knife on the map. I know when I was kid watching the show, I also wanted one and my Dad bought me one as a gift. I’m sure while Macgyver was on air, the sales for those Swiss Army Knives had to of gone up.
@@s-t-f Thank you for the info. Apparently Victorinox has been manufacturing Swiss Army knives for a long time. I always assumed Macgyver used the same style knife through out the show but as I found out, he used several different styles of Swiss Army knives. All of this talk makes me wonder if I still have my Victorinox knife. Now I have to go look for it. Thanks again for giving me the name of the company. I had completely forgotten the name.
Never watched a single episode of the original 'MacGyver'. Not even one. However, the classy badassery of this series-closing scene leads me to suspect that I may have missed something really good.
Correct, for then. I was a fan of the series, and not pleased ABC allowed it to "fight" with MNF. Having seen a few shows on dvd, it does, now, seem a bit cheesy and campy. Richard Dean Anderson did an excellent job with the show, including the subsequent TV movies that followed. It got many interested in science and physics. Enjoy your trip through that part of the 1980's.
Im watching MacGyver again...oh, my, I miss so much my childhood, brings me so good memories and those happy days in the 80'. I cannot believe Dana Elcar is not here anymore and RDA is already 70 y.o. 😢😢😢
Macgyver: _"It was bound to happen. Things change."_ Pete: _"Not always. Good things don't."_ . . . . perhaps not change, but definitely end. I think back to my earlier years, and how much of what I cherished is now gone. It seems this world is dead set on a downward spiral.
Oh my god this is so great. I remember watching the series finale when Richard came on and thanked the audience for watching. The reruns don't even have this at the end. This is great. Thank you for posting.
Greatest TV show ever! I'm only 21, so I didn't really see much of it when it originally aired, but growing up, my brother always watched re-runs, so I fell in love with it. This scene makes me so sad. RIP Dan Elcar
I still have memories of watching MacGyver with my grandpa grandpa I was a kid. This show is so wonderful and nostalgic. Kids these days don't know what they're missing.
Love this scene. Reminds me of saying goodbye to my dad that passed away. Brings memories from watching this show as a kid. And brings a tear to my eye. Wishing I can go back and re live my childhood just to spend more time with my pops.
This is back when shows were enjoyable to watch and people had class. They actually thanked the audience at the end, and networks would actually let shows complete from start to finish without ending them prematurely, leaving the audience with no resolve or ending as if the series never existed.
Back then just as today shows end prematurely all the time.... those kind of nostalgia comments without any foundation in reality are really everywhere whenever there is a clip if any old show.
I felt so sorry for Pete...I can't imagine how hard was for him to live far away from his best friend, specially when he needed the most. Brings me very good childhood memories. RIP, Dana!
I was 5 years old when Macgyver was airing with newly released episodes. It was my highlight of my week each week they were released. I'm now 41yo and just Binge watched as many episodes as I could on Pluto stream. Like other, this last scene gave me goosebumps and made me very sad. The "Thank you" that Richard had was touching. As a 5yo till 10yo boy as it aired, Macgyver was my idol. There was no other individual that was more of an idol than he was. It would be a dream to shake his hand and tell him this.
+tubehkl reponen Under NO circumstances will I see the reboot of MacGyver; I have a tough time with Hawai'i Five-O. What is Hollywood thinking? Here's wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.
Warbird Phoenix I hate when that happens. I still haven’t got over The cancellations of The Event and The Unit Big cliffhangers. So thankful the same fate didn’t happen to Timeless😊
That's nonsense. If anything, abrupt cancellations were WORSE back then. The reason being that episodes were not serialized as much as they are now. So there was little thought of having a goodbye arc or giving a sense of resolution. At best somebody might get married and go off on a honeymoon or Richard Kimble finding the man with one arm. But mostly shows were giving the hook.
Spent all my savings on a big Swiss Army Knife when I was 12 I think, way before MacGyver was on over here in the Netherlands. Started carrying it with me everywhere after seeing the first few episodes, kids in school started nicknaming me MacGyver, I felt honored. When this episode aired and I heard his voice over at the end I started crying! 😭 MacGyver has made a profound impact on my life and on who I have become. The Swiss Army knife will remain in my pocket when I get buried!
I'm about 14 years younger than RDA, wow did I learn so much from him, loved the show and, since I'm retired now, every Thursday on Heroes and icons I get to watch 5 episodes of Macgyver, I try to never miss it and still to this day.. and still have my Swiss army knife i bought 35 years ago
+Matthew Bunn It's a joke because RDA played O'Neill in SG-1, who comes out of retirement in the first episode. The show started a few years after MacGyver ended.

Now thats how you end a series, sweet and to the point. Then make it personal and thank you for sticking around and seeing it through. RDA is a class act!
2019 here... Nostalgia, I grew up watching this, such an awesome and irreplaceable show... Thank you for showing this clip I dunno how did I end up here... They don't do series like this anymore just a bunch senseless reality TV.
"So uh...where to?" "Hmm. I've got a cabin in the mountains that has a nice pond out back. We could fish, have a few cold ones, talk about movies we've seen at least a dozen times."
Thank you too Macgyver you are one of the inspirations of my life. Being resourceful and getting things done using with whatever you have at your disposal.
Still remember that particular night. I was 10years old. I cried my heart out that night. Next day at school we were all sad.... Love you macgyver 💚💚 for giving me a happy childhood.
i watched every single episode of macgyver too. macgyver touched me on mental and spritual level. with him being the humanitarian that he is. it always made me feel good looking up to him. i had many of my family members die including my dad. But one episode that piqued my interest in particular was passages where macgyvers grandfather dies. it also made me feel that of my grandfather when he died i cried for that moment realizing how much i missed him and all the memories he brought me.
The episode is called "Passages" and for me it was also emotionally and spiritually strong because I was doing mourning for the death of my grandmother and it was my 15 years. It is one of the episodes that I love the most.
Richard Dean Anderson. I have so much respect for u sir. U are always be our Mac Gyver, our hero. I grew up watching Mac Gyver and I can honestly say that it is the best show ever. Best memory of my life. You played the character so well. Just to remind u that u are love by so many around the world. God bless u!!!!
Ethan Robison (& Meg), did you know Dana Elcar went blind on the show. The producers went above and beyond to help him transition. During the last season he was totally blind. I recall an episode of ET where they showed how they methodically led him through scenes with tape, props, etc. Dana Elcar was worth it. A fine actor.
I grew up with this show, i'm 35 now, remember seing this show wth my grandpa, well he past away yrs ago, so as numbers of my relatives n friends, this show bring back old memories, 2 bad my kids grow up wth shows like "meet the kardashians" Mac-"things changed" Pete-"not always, gud ones dont" U got that right pete, it'll always be there, thanks 4 the momories
i was lucky that i grew up in the 80s with shows like this one. My faves are Macgyver of course, Miami Vice, Moonlighting and Simon and Simon. Was a great decade for TV back then. They just dont make them like this anymore.
this show made me appreciate sciene at a very young age...7 seasons flew fast.. never thought this series would end then.. but Thank God for internet, i can watch it over and over again... Thank you to the creators, actors and staff for a very very good show...❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up with this show, too. The last season was released two years before I was born, but I've still seen almost every episode. I remember that for 5 years I watched this every day after school. I hope that one day when I get kids, they'll want to watch it, too. MacGyver was my childhood hero the way Indiana Jones was other kids'. I'll never forget him. Thank YOU for all the memories, too :)
Always brings me back to my childhood. Never killed anyone just incapacitated the enemy I wish the future was the same. His most powerful weapon was his mind. Long live this fantastic show.
If RDA never left Macgyver we wouldn't have his wonderful portrayal of Jack O'niell. So really, this was a blessing in disguise. Also, a fantastic and heartwarming ending to an amazing show.
I never really got into the show but that was one touching and great ending to a series. I have no idea why it came up on my feed but I'm glad to have seen it.
I remember watching "MacGyver's" final scene when it was fresh... I was five years old at the time and a HUGE fan of the show. When he and his son drove away on their motorcycles, all I could manage was a tearful "Goodbye, MacGyver..." while waving... Then, once it was all over, I just lost it... :.-(
This for me is the first ever tv show i've seen were the lead actor thanks the audience for 7 great seasons. How cool is that. I watched MacGyver when i was a kid. Awesome show!!
Until this day, in Indonesia, people at 40-70, still called "Pisau Mac Gyver" (Mac Gyver knife) the Swiss army knife. He is my hero when i was teen. He is very popular in my country on teh late 90's. Now I am 52.
This ending was deep, especially when he thanked the audience, all series should do something like this to their finale.
I think that was a clear indication that the people on the show truly cared about the viewers, and each other.
Think the closest I saw was star trek 6 with the original crew signing off. It was touching just like this was. I like that Richard Dean Anderson personally thanked the audience as himself. Gives it that personal touch.
It's sweet, but I wouldn't want every series doing it. It would get very cheesy, and imagine the ones that were cancelled too early...
"Hi, this is Nathan Fillion. On behalf of everyone at Firefly, I'd like to say 'this is some bullshit'. Bye."
Well I wouldn't call thanking the audience "deep," but yeah, I liked it.

He was the reason I bought a Swiss Army knife in 5th grade and still have it in my pocket at 41.
ahh yeah me too in the 5th grade and at 41 I still carry one in mine
So do i
My dad gave me Swiss Army knife for my 10th birthday (Obviously, after seeing Macguyver - I had nagged him for months) . It was 1986...I still have it and it still works as good as new.
Me too, till the teacher took it away and got suspension. 😂
My super tinker still lays in my pocket where ever i go, and it sure has brought some great use.
MacGyver has been on re-run here in Norway constantly the last 23 years after the show ended...it became very popular and it still is, everybody, young and old, "knows" MacGyver :)

The saddest TV series finale ever . Goodbye RDA aka MacGyver ...we'll never see a hero like you ever
The saddest series finale I absolutely ever saw was the final episode of MASH. But I like the way this one had a thank you at the end!
Guys, don't be sad, after this MacGyver joined the United States government and used an ancient alien device called the Stargate to explore the galaxy and defend the world against alien threats.
I am sure he inspired some people to work in federal intelligence.
To me the end of this show marked the true end of the 80’s even though it was 1992
God I miss the 80s.
The “80s” style and culture we all remember really happened from about ‘82 to ‘92 - so it really did end the 80s
sedawk i loves tge 80's
Yup, but this gave birth to 10 seasons of SG1 which was even better.
love the 80's . damn miss those times
The hug was heartbreaking, because it wasn't just the last hug between MacGyver and Pete, but it was the last hug between Richard Dean Anderson and Dana Elcar as well. And you could see it in their face as well, that it wasn't just for show. It really made me cry.

The Phoenix Foundation was a private intelligence agency, what a good idea, it was not the federal government.
Shame that there was only 12 episodes instead of 24 episodes in season seven. He is the one and only true MacGyver.
Alimoo1971 We did get two MacGyver movies after the final episode!
i've heard they ran out of ideas so they cut the final season short
Yes, no other actor will ever play it like him.
here in belgium we still watch MacGyver replays.
Same in Sri Lanka
Fo real?
He's on his way to do some classified work with the military.
ricaard -- Yeah, it seems a large mysterious ring was found in the desert and they need smarties to do some poking at it.
But first needs plastic surgery to loook like Snake Plisken but after surviving that suicide mission, has more surgery to look like himself again.

Maybe the remake should be MacGyver's son, not MacGyver. Noone can replace RDA as MacGyver. This ending was so perfect, full of feeling.
Totally agree. This ending always leaves us sad but satisfied. But there will never be another true MacGyver. We miss RDA so much!
Macgyvers son would probably be retired to as he would be around 50 now :P so could have his grandson instead :D
They kinda tried that, with Mac's nephew. And nobody heard about that again.
And to think that if that was successful that actor wouldn’t have joined Supernatural
@@igorrodrigues7382 *Really? Please elaborate.*
Loved this show.
Too bad Hollywood doesn't seem to be able to make series of this caliber anymore or even give peomising ones any chances.

And Terra Nova that was a huge cliché breaker!

The Truman Show is another example of what you argue.

@Samson 92 ya and it is a stupid joke.
2019 here... Nostalgia, I grew up watching this, such an awesome and irreplaceable show... Thank you for showing this clip I dunno how did I end up here... They don't do series like this anymore just a bunch senseless reality TV.
I'm watching this scene, as a 53 years old, and it gives me chills.
"So uh...where to?"
"Hmm. I've got a cabin in the mountains that has a nice pond out back. We could fish, have a few cold ones, talk about movies we've seen at least a dozen times."
"Oh! I love fish!"
"Then we'll have to pick some up at the supermarket to grill."
"There's no fish in that pond, is there?"
"No?"
As a viewer I felt appreciated when I saw this last part of the series. Not many American series have a real ending, let alone thank their audience.
Hope he's being paid well for all the reruns, this show will be on forever.
I remember this when it ended and i was so sad. It was such an amazing show. It showed me nothing is impossible. All about how bad you want it
that is so emotional. I remember still. Missing Macgyver. Missing 90's era
Mohammad Hoque you mean the 80's?
my childhood memories, the one and only.
I watched most of the show as a kid...one of my favs of all time...you can even learn actually tricks in life by watching too.
Thank you too Macgyver you are one of the inspirations of my life. Being resourceful and getting things done using with whatever you have at your disposal.
Seriously, when Richard Dean Anderson's voice come in the end, i get goosebumbs. Fantastic actor, fantastic show, and seven fantastic seasons.
Now this was MacGyver. Not the junk on today...
not everything is junk
Still remember that particular night. I was 10years old. I cried my heart out that night. Next day at school we were all sad....
Love you macgyver 💚💚 for giving me a happy childhood.
Oh wow, an 80’s/ 90’s show with actual closure and a solid ending: no cliffhanger! 😀
i watched every single episode of macgyver too. macgyver touched me on mental and spritual level. with him being the humanitarian that he is. it always made me feel good looking up to him. i had many of my family members die including my dad. But one episode that piqued my interest in particular was passages where macgyvers grandfather dies. it also made me feel that of my grandfather when he died i cried for that moment realizing how much i missed him and all the memories he brought me.
The episode is called "Passages" and for me it was also emotionally and spiritually strong because I was doing mourning for the death of my grandmother and it was my 15 years. It is one of the episodes that I love the most.
Richard Dean Anderson. I have so much respect for u sir. U are always be our Mac Gyver, our hero. I grew up watching Mac Gyver and I can honestly say that it is the best show ever. Best memory of my life. You played the character so well. Just to remind u that u are love by so many around the world. God bless u!!!!
Great comment!
Dont you ever change MacGyver
He won't beacause he lives in our memories.
Dana Elcar was suffering an eye disease, and the producers even worked that into his character. Truly awesome
You know how many things I MacGyvered in life. I owe him everything
Ditto
Reminds me of saying bye to my pops. Rest in peace.
The last episode should have been a final showdown with Murdoc.
That would have been awesome. I feel like he was a bit waisted in his final episode
@@ATOK_ They knew this was the last season and they left the Murdoch storyline unsettled not smart
The one and only MacGyver! ❤️
I give a salute to Richard Dean Anderson, Dana Elcar, Bruce McGill, ad the rest of the Macgyver crew for 7 awesome seasons.
"Thanks for the memories." And now a shameless remake will ruin it.
meg nope the REMAKE is in my opinion not macgyver but something unique . Nothing can replace macgyver
Ethan Robison (& Meg), did you know Dana Elcar went blind on the show. The producers went above and beyond to help him transition. During the last season he was totally blind. I recall an episode of ET where they showed how they methodically led him through scenes with tape, props, etc. Dana Elcar was worth it. A fine actor.
You said it. Merry Christmas.
It's Episodes are to how
Yeah with a young dumb dip shit. Can't stand that punk.
brought back childhood memories. loved this show
i love you MacGyver u r my childhood hero
I’m not going to lie here; I grew up years after MacGyver ended, but I grew up with the reruns, and this is legitimately making me cry
I grew up with this show, i'm 35 now, remember seing this show wth my grandpa, well he past away yrs ago, so as numbers of my relatives n friends, this show bring back old memories, 2 bad my kids grow up wth shows like "meet the kardashians"
Mac-"things changed"
Pete-"not always, gud ones dont"
U got that right pete, it'll always be there, thanks 4 the momories
how classy for Richard to thank the audience. Bravo, man, bravo....
i was lucky that i grew up in the 80s with shows like this one. My faves are Macgyver of course, Miami Vice, Moonlighting and Simon and Simon. Was a great decade for TV back then. They just dont make them like this anymore.
Thank u, for all the good memories richard :))
this show made me appreciate sciene at a very young age...7 seasons flew fast.. never thought this series would end then.. but Thank God for internet, i can watch it over and over again... Thank you to the creators, actors and staff for a very very good show...❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm from Spain and here we love MacGyver too.
I grew up with this show, too. The last season was released two years before I was born, but I've still seen almost every episode. I remember that for 5 years I watched this every day after school. I hope that one day when I get kids, they'll want to watch it, too. MacGyver was my childhood hero the way Indiana Jones was other kids'. I'll never forget him. Thank YOU for all the memories, too :)
Onions damn these onions! :(
Always brings me back to my childhood. Never killed anyone just incapacitated the enemy I wish the future was the same. His most powerful weapon was his mind. Long live this fantastic show.
If RDA never left Macgyver we wouldn't have his wonderful portrayal of Jack O'niell. So really, this was a blessing in disguise. Also, a fantastic and heartwarming ending to an amazing show.
I never really got into the show but that was one touching and great ending to a series. I have no idea why it came up on my feed but I'm glad to have seen it.
I remember watching "MacGyver's" final scene when it was fresh... I was five years old at the time and a HUGE fan of the show. When he and his son drove away on their motorcycles, all I could manage was a tearful "Goodbye, MacGyver..." while waving... Then, once it was all over, I just lost it... :.-(
This for me is the first ever tv show i've seen were the lead actor thanks the audience for 7 great seasons. How cool is that. I watched MacGyver when i was a kid. Awesome show!!
l Loved MacGyver and the ending was Really Touching From Richard Dean Anderson.
Most emotional moment,,,missing you much MacGyver
There's never gonna be something like this again bye guys
You said it. I saw the new MacGyver, and kept myself from throwing something at the television set.
Until this day, in Indonesia, people at 40-70, still called "Pisau Mac Gyver" (Mac Gyver knife) the Swiss army knife.
He is my hero when i was teen. He is very popular in my country on teh late 90's. Now I am 52.
I never saw the last series of MacGyver but in it apparently we found out what his first name was - Angus ;).
