MacGyver: Season 5
Using his brain in place of a gun, secret agent Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) relies on his knowledge of science to save himself and others from jeopardy. Deploring the promotion of everyday violence, MacGyver refuses to carry weapons and instead designs lifesaving tools out of household staples like paper clips and duct tape. Anderson portrays a likeable hero of strong principles and intellect in this clever series, which successfully ran for seven years and continues to remain a beloved cult favorite. This collection presents every episode of MacGyver's fifth season.

Not my thing. - JayA
I never watched MacGyver when it originally aired, but I thought I'd give it a try now, and maybe starting in the 5th season wasn't the smarted, but it was a little surreal. It's a fine example of the preachy drama/action/adventure hour as was popular in the 80s, but at various times it veers into time travel and magic, which seemed rather odd. The characters seem pleasant, but didn't engage me (but maybe if I'd started with season 1...). It's easy to see MacGyver as a cliché if you only start now, so I think maybe it's best to leave this to people who first experience the show when it first ran.Macgyver Season 2 - klyj
The fifth season is intriguing in many ways. It deals, as all the MacGyver stories do, with issues of various sorts -- especially social and ecological problems -- that were current at the time of the original filming. I am amazed in retrospect at how extremely timely they actually remain. However, there are some delightful and intriguing plot twists, and I would rate the "Christmas Episode" of the fifth season, "The Madonna", as one of the all-time best stories I've ever viewed.MacGyver: Season 5 - movie_pro
