Product Description

Desperate times call for desperate measures--and the desperate will stop at nothing to get MacGyver's attention. In the fifth season premiere ("Legend of the Holy Rose"), an old friend releases his houseboat from its moorings--while he's in it. Four episodes later ("Halloween Knights"), an old enemy relieves his boat of its belongings. It works, of course. Mac lives to help people in need, even if those people include obnoxious archeology professor Zoë (Lise Cutter), who enlists his aid in tracking down an ancient artifact, and the mysterious Murdoc (Michael Des Barres), who does the same to rescue his kidnapped sister. Joining forces with arch-enemy Murdoc marks a break with previous seasons. Otherwise, the fifth features the same resourceful secret agent as the first four (though he’s relying on those inventive "MacGyverisms" less often as the series continues). MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) still travels the world on behalf of the Phoenix Foundation, while reporting to supportive superior Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar). As before, he goes it alone: no gun, no back-up, no wisecracking sidekick--not counting reckless rogue Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill), who drops by on occasion to shake up MacGyver's well-ordered world.

Aside from a greater interest in socially conscious causes, like the protection of endangered species, the 1989-1990 season also breaks with the past by an episode set in the Old West ("Serenity") and another set in the afterlife ("Passages"). In the former, Jack and Penny (Teri Hatcher in her final appearance) return as prototypes for their present day characters. Murdoc returns, as well--this time wearing a black hat. In the latter, Grandpa Harry (John Anderson) bids adieu. Other fifth year guests include Blossom’s Mayim Bialik ("Cease Fire," "Hearts of Steel"), The Exorcist’s Linda Blair ("Jenny's Chance"), and Jerry Maguire’s Cuba Gooding Jr. ("Black Rhino," "Serenity"). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Product Description

MacGyver is no ordinary secret agent. He never carries a gun. His drinks aren’t shaken or stirred. And he fights for justice using the most dangerous weapon of all: his intelligence. Richard Dean Anderson stars as television’s favorite boy scout-turned-action hero: Angus MacGyver. When an American pilot is shot down over Central America or a top-secret missile is stolen, the authorities call on MacGyver, a former Special Forces agent, to save the day. When all other means of solving problems are exhausted, a call goes out for Macgyver.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good.... BUT not as exciting as Season 4 Aug 29 2007
Format:DVD
A good season, but some of the episodes are lacking. For example, there are not as much "Macgyverisms" as other seasons. Also some episodes move very slow and dont have as much action. But, there still are very enjoyable episodes like the thrilling "legend of the holy rose" (part 1 and 2) and the spooky "Halloween Knights". If your going to buy any season though, you should get Season 4.

4.0 out of 5 stars MacGyver Rocks Oct 4 2009
Format:DVD
I hear a continual rant on sound quality, picture quality, etc...and not just on the MacGyver series...hey guys remember when this show first aired?! You certainly can't expect 'picture perfect' for an older series. I shutter to think what people would say of the 1960s Coronation Street DVD! It really gets hard to view and hear at times....Take MacGyver as he comes and enjoy...Yes, a lot of the plots really don't make sense, especially after viewing the Mythbusters MacGyver special a while back. Please, don't tell us that those neat escape plans don't really work. I don't want to know! I just love this guy and so what if some of the shows come up lame.
