Like most series of this type, I liked it until it went all environmental and junk.

In before the "he's an anti" crowd.

I never really took it as anti gun.  He just doesn't like to use them.  I have nothing against that.

Same here. The premise was much better when he was more of a secret agent versus later on when he became a mix between captain planet, mr. wizard, and sara brady.

I watched the 1st few episodes on Netflix not long ago.  I never knew he was a CIA.

I watched it, so that is better than 99% of the stuff out there.  Was more quite about it's politics than SG1 - SG1 was both anti-gun and anti-religion.  



When the dinosaur roamed the earth, I was fairly liberal and enjoyed studying comparative religions.  A general consensus at that time was that religions tend to exist as long as they are ultimately beneficial to the people/society.  They tend to wane when they cease being beneficial.  Often religions were used as tools of government, but as tools they created a more prosperous society (even if that goal was self serving to the religion/government).  I don't think SG1 ever showed a religion that was not utterly destructive to individual or human society.

Just looked up the wiki...





A feature film based on the series is being developed[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver#cite_note-0][1][/url] and may possibly be produced by 2013.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver#cite_note-1][2][/url]

Nope, it was one of the most tactically unsound shows I have ever seen. I guess if you wanted to be wowed by his ghey awesomeness it was a good show.

I remember one time he needed close the valve nut on a gas cylinder so he open the cylinder on a revolver and used the the frame for a wrench.

He said something to the effect of "Finally, a good use for these things."

I had a friend in college who loved it.  Once several of us drank beer and watched an episode of it before heading out to a party.



Damn, it was one of the most retarded things I'd ever seen.  Most everyone else thought it was pretty lame too.

Explosives were already highly regulated and not generally used for defense by civilians. A recent series of interviews showing the liberal bias of Hollywood made it explicit that the show had anti intent.

Bingo.

I still remember his stupid anti-gun episode. Last one I ever watched.

I might rematch the first season, the commies were still the bad guys back then....

Loved the show as a kid.  Trying to watch it now is painful.  It's so cheesy, and later episodes especially are crammed full of liberal BS. Even as a little kid with no political beliefs yet, even I noticed that they were being very preachy about causes.

I watched it....it was okay but not great...typical 80's action show and the not using a gun bit sometimes just did not make sense though I never thought the show was anti gun per se.
