MacGyver (Seasons 1–7)

MacGyver (1985–1992) — watch online on iFILM and discover the ABC action series that turned a Swiss Army knife into the most dangerous weapon on television. Seven seasons, 139 episodes, Richard Dean Anderson as Angus MacGyver: a covert operative who refuses to touch a gun. Not once in the entire run.

MacGyver works for a clandestine agency, but his method is pure improvisation — a paper clip here, a garden hose there, a dash of chemistry, and trouble tends to dissolve. Pete Thornton, played by Dana Elcar, runs things from headquarters while MacGyver bounces from one corner of the world to the next, usually outnumbered and always underarmed. Enemies bring firepower. He brings physics.

The show ran from 1985 to 1992 and left a mark well beyond television: "MacGyvering" something became everyday language for solving a problem with whatever's on hand. Stream all seasons of MacGyver online on iFILM.
