You must have a lot of free time on your hands, watching bad shows hoping that they will get better. Bad TV writers pray

Sure I have a lot to "complain" about but in the end I do enjoy this show. Not as the highlight of the week, not even close to that but more like a filler. Like when you watch CSI or Law and Order (I mean, nothing against those shows but probably almost nobody watches those as they watch other shows they really can't wait to see the next episode.
then again, I'm someone who can enjoy pretty much everything. All I need in a show or movie to be enjoyable for me is entertainment, even if it's bad, as long as I'm entertained I'm cool and to me, MacGyver is entertaining so I do watch it. But unlike some other show it's not like I'm waiting to finally be thursday again or something like that. -

correct . someone in a team of spys do some science stuff and the whole team looks and acts like jokers and villains become so childish by act but legend by profile can never be a MAcGYVER . I want to see this season go away ASAP . team knight riders , macgyver reboot must be done with passionate people , not just by some business guys .

Did the producers even watch the original show? Or did they get something sorta kinda close but still miles away and slap the MacGyver name on it?
Henry Winkler, who is a producer and director for this series was also a producer and durector for the original series.
Lee David Zlotoff was the Creator of both the original and this series, and he has writing credits for both series as well.
Especially with those credentials, I expected way much more that this. As has been said, there is nothing more than the name here. -

It's possible their names are on it, which gives them a cut of the money, but they have no actual input into it. Although Henry Winkler was a producer for the original series, for example, I don't think he had much creative input into it. I doubt if he has much on this either. Zlotoff, who knows. I just don't think those original people are the driving force behind this reboot at all.

I have no opinion on this show because I haven't seen it. I didn't even know it existed until I started Netflix binging AGAIN and came to look up a character in one of the episodes. Loved, loved, loved the original show so I appreciate you laying it all out there so I know to avoid this.
I cannot recall ANY remake, reboot or reincarnation that was BETTER than its original. Too bad nobody in Hollywood seems to learn from these awful cookie-cutter-nowhere-near-the-original-story-line-monstrosities.
Further, the only book adaptations that have been relatively well-done were the ones based on Agatha Christie's books. I'm still shaking my head over what they did with "Flowers in the Attic". Just wrong.
