Steve, your hatred of that stupid truck always brings me joy. I never understood losing the Jeep in the later seasons.
As this series keeps going that rage and loathing just keeps getting more intense. And I am here for it.
These MacGyver videos are simply awesome, hope you never get tired of doing them.
Clearly the producers nailed a primo location of an abandoned factory and milked it to its fullest extent. The episode that was narratively closest to this one was "Three for the Road" only a few episodes earlier where foiling the bumbling mobsters pursuing him required MacGyver to utilize every piece of a 1959 Cadillac convertible the way indigenous tribes utilized every body part of a slain buffalo.
Oh, I love that one!
MacGuyver is a real show? I thought it was a running gag that Stargate and The Simpsons had some elaborate agreement to gaslight us about.
That would explain a lot of writing!! 😂😂😂
Damnit, you've rumbled my secret private criminal army plan.
That closing sentence needs to be a motto and a t-shirt, perhaps even a body pillow so that it can sink in while a person does.
He really should have delivered the baby with his trusted fishing rod.
"I'll call that the catch of the day!"
End credits.
Grew up watching MacGyver and my mom had a serious crush on Anderson. During the opening credits there is a scene of him licking an ice cream cone and invariably my mom would say, "I wish _I_ was that ice cream!" Cue requisite groans of disgust from children. MacGyver and the A-Team... ultimate 80's schlock.
Any excuse to rant about the obvious superiority of the Jeep.
Just imagine if they'd replaced the Jeep with something like a VW Beetle or a Ford Pinto.
@@Tuaron An AMC Pacer!
5:23 the pickup truck could NEVER
As a _MacGyver_ fan, did you ever watch _Stargate: SG1?_ I ask because aside from both shows starring Richard Dean Anderson, SG1 also has a lot of 'so bad its good' writing interspersed with moments of genuine brilliance. If you watched it, would you ever do reviews like this for it?
Unapologetic goofiness is seriously underrated. It's what made MacGyver great. It's what made Star Trek great. It's what made Batman great. Unapologetic goofiness mixed with some great performances and moments of just brilliant writing.
I really don't think this show would've worked without the talent of Richard Dean Anderson and his ability to play this character as if everything was totally normal. This show was lighting in a bottle.
I’m gonna throw quantum leap into the ring on that too, another goofy but serious show
Me whenever the villain has the same name as myself: “C’mon man, you’re letting the side down!”
Holy cats that Jeep bit got dark.
"The evil forces of Andrew" is both the perfect juxtaposition of scary and mundane, and also a slight reminder of Andross' nephew in Star Fox 64.
That closing line is your best first option for your inevitable merch shop
If not for StarGate, I would never have watched MacGyver
If not for Macgyver I probably wouldn't have watched Stargate.
Ditto!
Ok its my birthday today, so thank you for this. 🎉
Happy Birthday
I don't think I've ever seen a chase where the characters have to take a vehicle through a building. Any other show would probably have them dump the jeep outside and have everything happen on foot.
Okay, the Jeep being replaced with the two-tone vintage truck is now 100% unjustifiable.
Also, why did the cops understand the flag signal? Was there dialogue that indicated that one or both of them were sailors? A book with the appropriate information? Or even something like in The Final Frontier, when Kirk, Spock, and Bones were trying to decipher Scotty's Morse code?
The older cop says he's a Navy veteran.
@@SteveShives
Okay, at least they addressed it. Thanks for the update.
I was wondering that too. Thanks for asking.
15:30 Mac still has the Jeeps winch to assist😅
Loved the whole tirade Jeep vs truck. Awesome.
"...for that FUCKING TRUCK!" I love those rare few occasions when you get "unhinged" 😆
I dare say your scripts are getting better with each video. How you get through some of these without a little giggle eludes me.
I have never even watched MacGyver but I do love me some classic TV cheese and your love of this show has really got me considering starting it
No one ever talks about northern exposure
Tell us how you really feel about that truck, Steve. LOL, I love this show.
Survey / ranking of baby delivery episodes from every tv show ever?
I always enjoy your comments about MacGyver. As you might recall, I wrote for the show from seasons three through five. as you noted, we could do just about anything story wise. The concept was so fluid and RDA and Dana would always deliver no matter what we put on them.
I love these videos, Steve. Your MacGyver series was the key element in rewatching the series as an adult. We love it, still. You rule, Steve!
The description of escaping via the elevator and crane gave me a solid chortle.
WhoawhoaWHOA, Steve… kinda dark there. Stare at a pic of the Jeep… calm thoughts.
MacGyver is the right kind of 80’s cheese that I love
One thing you always wanna do when putting a crew together is create lots of incriminating paperwork.
I know its just a coincidental character nambe but still... watching this made me feel a little unsettled.
You're the second Andrew to tell me that today!
@@SteveShives
We are a collective.
Well, I kept thinking about Elaine from Seinfeld, go figure. 😂
More MacGyver please!! Love your videos.🖖
Never a complete episode without a nice, loud rant about that truck. ❤
I very much look forward to these. Thank you Steve
This was a heckuva way to find out that there was exactly one episode of this wonderful cheese-fest that I have never seen XD
You look good Steve. Love the take on this story. Awesome
Okay: incriminating papers, letter opener, and paperweight hit me as being a real-life version of rock-paper-scissors! Glad Elaine won that round.
Goons! Goons! So many goons! 😂
you are an amazing story teller
Can we get an episode on Ghost Ship? Only Steve Austin and Mac could tackle Sasquatch and live to Trek.... Or Trumbo's World... it blew my mind when I saw The Naked Jungle years later (1954 film which uses footage but has not aged well).
Elaine knew about the criminal enterprise all along, it’s just the vile of plausible deniability was pierced.
Thanks Stevo!*
I've just gone a-googlin to fins where i can watch these - it was a highlight of my childhood tv experience.
I'm not convinced the average patrol cop can read semaphore flags though...
* Stevo (pr. STEEV-oh) is Australian, short for Steve.
I do love a show where the hero cannot help doing the hero thing no matter what the situation. Sure he has a job as a spy or a cop or whatever but the reason he is who he is is because he is unable to ignore anyone in distress
I wondr how he feels about the jeep
I always look forward to your MacGyver videos. I loved that show so much when I was younger. I support your hatred of the truck. I really didn't like it when they changed it.
Thanks!
Maybe something happened to the Jeep? MacGyver seems to use it pretty hard.
It returned in season 7, albeit with limited utility. The Jeep's shining moment in the final season was getting shot up beyond repair in the series finale.
My man got CTE in a single episode.
Going in, I just have to wonder if this is the time travel (knocked unconscious/dream) episode (you know, the one with Merlin being amazed by scissors,) looking forward to doing an edit later to see what gets jogged free in my mind about the show as you go through it.
Edit: Well, a minute in and I'm wrong, but still, really does show about how varied the episodes could be.
Edit: @6:00 Murdoc did us all a favour when he rigged it to blow. He was a hero after all.
The next time someone wonders why I miss my Jeep, I’m sending them to this video.
(It’s OK, I got a Subaru.)
For some reason, I expected Elizabeth Shue to be in this.
I always laugh at how quickly women give birth on tv shows where the 9 months pregnant woman goes into labor at the most inopportune time during a crisis.
Why didn’t Mac drive to a police station. Did she say that her husband had the police in her pocket and that there was nowhere to hide?
Oh, cheese…🍻
I showed up for the 2-tone truck hate.
Finally went back n watched almost all of MacGuyver. So good, so good! Had trouble w the last 2 seasons-seemed too slick somehow (u would have the right words-I’m not talented w analysis). And damn that evil truck straight to hell, I mean take that thing out n put a bullet in its engine. Yeccchh
So glad we had tv to remind us that, once people have been convicted of a crime, there is no redemption
Never trust an ex con.
Also police are our friends and definitely, definitely don’t actually make things worse.
😜
I wonder if Jeep was a sponsor in the early seasons and gave up the product placement in the later seasons. I hated the truck too.
to me, the Jeep is superior because it's the car Mac would CHOOSE to drive. it's the antithesis of form over function. the two tone jalopy? it would take a lot of MacGyver skills to keep the thing running, sure. but Mac never went out of his way to show off his skills. he wasn't egotistical. he only went MacGyver mode when he needed to.
Glad im not the only one who dislikes the truck.
Well, about the non-love-story, wasn't and hasn't, women who've given birth always been considered unwanted as love interest in media...? Kinda like they're damaged goods, or always will belong more emotionally to someone else (either the child/ren or the original father). I can't recall any love stories w mothers at all atm, except for Star Trek (of course!
Wait, what was the point of the flat tire?
To keep him at the gas station long enough for Elaine to run into him in the most awkward and contrived way possible.
And to demonstrate that, with proper tire and vehicle maintenance, you too can drive your jeep out of a pit under its own power. That rear driver's side tire that he replaced just a few minutes earlier made all the difference. Even got another closeup while getting out of the pit. Chekhov's Gun moment, amirite?
I don't know. It feels like the car jack, which he hadn't had the opportunity to properly stow in its designated storage place, ought to have figured as a key improvised weapon in his final fight with whatshisname the evil douchebag.
In my headcanon, the car jack was the lynchpin in resolving a sudden complication in the birth process, but the scene was cut for time and/or due to squeamish network censors.
@@varjak3859 ok, I get that. But it would have been more obvious to the viewer if, after replacing the tire, it showed him checking the other rear tire air pressure and topping it off to the manufacturer's recommended value. That way, he'd also have his air pressure gauge in his pocket, providing another improvisational resource.
Then the only thing missing would be a PSA from Joe Namath about vapor lock.
MacGyver isn't that great. Anybody could be a superhero when wearing that much plot armor. 😜
I'd love to see a retrospective of the episode "The Outsiders".
was that a dolphin tattoo? also first.
I see a new SS MacGyver video, I watch said MacGyver video.
Any possibility that you'll review the classic Simpsons episode where Richard Dean Anderson MacGyver's his way out of the clutches of Uber fans Patty and Selma, who are the only holdovers from the 80s while the rest of the world has moved on to Stargate SG-1.
Pretty please??
And maybe a few homages to the Mythbusters for testing out the reality of the various gimmicks and jerryrigs that Mac uses to get out of the situations he is in.
MCGRUBER!
