Final Season, Must-Have Addition to Any Collection,
By Natalia (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MacGyver: The Complete Final Season (DVD)
MacGyver is one of my favorite shows, and I own all the episodes. Season 7 isn't my favorite - less "MacGyverisms" occur than in previous years, and the episodes deal more with social issues (such as inner city life) than the improbable escapes from places like East Berlin (and so on) that I so enjoyed in earlier seasons of the show. There are, however, a few gems in season 7 including the 2-part "Good Knight MacGyver" episode. "The Prometheus Syndrome" gave me chills - it is very creepy and very well done. I recommend season 7 to anyone who likes the show, but if you're looking for more spy type adventure, I'd buy from seasons 1-4. Peter Thornton also is completely blind in this season and has less of a prominent role than in previous years, which makes for a sad reminder that he was that way in real life too.

Final season reveals how MacGyver can get through the cracks.,
By P. Burgos "J.D. NASHMAN" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MacGyver: The Complete Final Season (DVD)
The Final season of MacGyver was shortened to 14 episodes as well as the 2 movies that followed in 1994. But since the season was so short at least they had some great episodes in this season.
Episode list. 1.) Honest Abe 9/16/1991 Mac's trip to the airport to pick a friend's father arriving for his grandson's bar mitzvah turns into a wild international caper involving Caribbean terrorists and a stolen helicopter. 2.) The 'Hood 9/23/1991 MacGyver moves into a new part of town after his houseboat was destroyed in a fire. Mac helps rescue one of his new neighbors after she overhears two hit-men planning a job. 3.) Obsessed 9/30/1991 The ghost of his archenemy Murdoc leaves MacGyver sleepless and on edge just as he is about to supervise the security of the criminal trial of a deposed dictator, a task that could determine Pete's continued employment at The Phoenix Foundation. 4.) The Promethus Syndrome 10/7/1991 MacGyver becomes personally involved in the effort to find a psychopathic arsonist who killed one of his friends. 5.) The Coltons 10/14/1991 Mac's old friends, the bounty-hunting Colton brothers try to find a young woman who's the only witness to a Chinatown murder, aided by their wise and patient mother, their impatient younger brother and their dog, Frog. 6.) The Walking Dead 10/21/1991 Mac helps his neighbor, Mama Lorraine, rescue a young student activist who has been kidnapped and turned into a zombie by Haitian terrorists hiding behind a powerful voodoo priest. 7.) Good Knight MacGyver (Part 1 of 2) 11/4/1991 A genealogy investigation and a knock on the head takes Mac back to King Arthur's court, where he must use his knowledge to prove Merlin innocent of harming the King, find the fair Cecilia and foil Morgana's attempt to take over the throne. 8.) Good Knight MacGyver (Part 2 of 2) 11/11/1991 This episode continues the previous when a genealogy investigation and a knock on the head takes Mac back to King Arthur's court, where he must use his knowledge to prove Merlin innocent of harming the King, find the fair Cecilia and foil Morgana's attempt to take over the throne. 9.) Deadly Silents 11/18/1991 Mac tries to help an old silent film star retrieve the only existing prints of his work from a pair of special-effects obsessed fans, who try to catch MacGyver in a deadly trap. 10.) Split Decision 12/2/1991 Mac's friend Earl Dent looks to him for help when he fights to retain custody of his teenage daughter while preparing for a boxing comeback that bookmakers want him to throw. 11.) Gunz 'n Boyz 12/16/1991 Mac and the Challenger Club try to help a boy prepared to take the rap for another boy murdered by weapons dealers exploiting the fear and suspicion in the neighborhood. 12.) Off The Wall 12/30/1991 Mac battles a callous slumlord when a young graffiti artist asks for help when his grandmother faces eviction from the apartment where she's spent her life. 13.) The Stringer 4/25/1992 While taking on the cause of a Chinese dissident on the run, MacGyver is helped by a young photo journalist named Sam. But Macgyver is in for the shock of his life when Sam tells him what his name stands for. It's "Sean Angus Macgyver"..... 14.) The Mountain of Youth 5/21/1992 Mac and Jack search for a mythical fountain of youth in a land of paradise and find a tribe of people who live over 150 years old. They discover the tribe could be at risk, since the government has a secret heavy water facility used for nuclear weapon technology. That completes the MacGyver series although the 2 movies which aired in 1994 are unknown if they will be included but I'd like to see it as well. Enjoy! 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful:

Disappointed...,
By A Regular Joe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MacGyver: The Complete Final Season (DVD)
It appears that loyal fans will not get the two Mac movies with this final season, which is of course, a huge disappointment. Given there are only 4 discs and 14 episodes that is about 3-4 episodes per disc, not leaving enough room for the 2 movies. Fer shame paramount, fer shame.

So this is the end,
By Nico Michel "Matrix Power" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MacGyver: The Complete Final Season (DVD)
This looks cool can't wait for the set to be released.
Watching this show again on DVD from season one up to season six was awsome. I have to ask if this is really the end or will us fans see the release of the two Macguyver tv movies: Lost Treasure of Atlantis and Trail to Doomsday on DVD soon. I for one Hope so this will really complete the collection. Come to think of it they should have added it as two Bonus disk in the final season. |
