Problems solved by MacGyver

This was a "blast" from the past for me (the showed aired from 1985-1992). Wikipedia has some of MacGyver's many creative solutions listed by episode.

One example:

MacGyver builds a mortar out of a muffler, a small amount of gas, stuffing from a seat cushion, and a steering wheel knob to stop pursuers.

Funny stuff.

I miss that show. I always complained about the hokey science, but I STILL miss it.

Sounds very similar to a "Potato Cannon"

Yeah, somehow Stargate SG-1 just didn't have the same appeal.

I like em both.

Yeah, he could have at least fixed the gate with his Swiss Army knife or something.

Never got into MacGyver but look at what I was missing:

Trapped in the driver's seat of a car with bazookas pointed at him, MacGyver needs to get out of the car and disable the bad guys all in one move. He removes his shoelaces and ties a lasso, using it to rope the gas pedal. He slips a paper clip onto the lace, secures it in a monkey wrench, and manipulates the wrench so it is braced between the floor and the brake pedal. This situates the lace so that when pulled on, it will pull down the gas pedal. Finally he routes the lace around the steering wheel on ties it to the door handle. The result is that when he gets out of the car, it will lurch forward and crash into the bad guys. Approximate time: 18:00.

I have a problem with him. He is an anti-gun, but if he makes money acting in a show with firearms,etc he is ok with it. Kind of pathetic in my book..
