MacGyver: The TV Movies

Source: DVDTown.com

With all the hoopla over MacGruber it is easy to sweep the source material under the carpet.

To remind you of how badass a guy armed with a paper clip, staple gun and that foil that covers that stick of gum can be CBS Home Entertainment is releasing MacGyver: The TV Movies that followed the shows finale in 1994 in a DVD double feature.

On June 15th you will get to see a bemulleted Richard Dean Anderson improvise his way through two separate adventures!

First, in The Lost Treasure of Atlantis, MacGyver aids an archaeologist in finding and securing the treasure of the legendary lost city of Atlantis. The second and final MacGyver adventure, Trail of Doomsday, follows our hero when while investigating the death of a close friend unravels a worldwide conspiracy that puts his problem solving skills to the ultimate test.

I have fond memories of MacGyver, it was one of the few TV shows I can remember my dad ever watching when I was a kid. It may have led to my compulsion for making bomb defusing kits out of toothpicks and duct tape. We didn't have money for brand name tools like this:

  1. Haha I love that faux toy pic you posted. If they really made one, I would proudly display it. Packaging costs 100 times for then the "multi-tool".

  2. Haha, I really want one too, but I would take it out of it's packaging and use it because the quote on the bottom right might just be the truest words ever spoken.
