I've had my fair share of cringeworthy experiences with catching an episode of an old favorite show on cable - within ten minutes I'm wondering why I ever enjoyed it when I was a kid. "MacGyver" isn't one of them. Just about any episode from any season is enough to remind me why I loved going along for the ride back then, and I still do.

Of course, I knew even as a teenager that he was a bit goody goody - ordering milk at a bar, never eating junk food, trying to reason gently with an ex-girlfriend who just tried to murder him, and yet he doesn't always wear his seatbelt - but it's all part of the fun. So are the occasional plot holes, which of course are a bit more noticeable this time around. I also seem to recall thinking as a kid that the show became less about gadgets and more about teaching life lessons in later seasons, but I now see that even the earliest episodes often had morality issues and the later seasons still had quite a bit of gadgetry to their credit. It's really a pretty consistent formula across all seven seasons.

The only problem with this set is that, if you're a fan, chances are you already bought at least a few other seasons separately. All seven of them are worth having, in any case, whether it's cheaper to fill in the blanks one by one or buy the entire set here.

This has been one of the best purchases we have made for our family. Our children enjoy watching Macgyver turn ordinary objects into the extraordinary to help him get out of a scrape. I have enjoyed reliving my childhood in which my husband and I watched these same shows.

It is so great watching all the seasons in a row. It was worth every penny & cheaper buying the whole set. I am nearing the seventh season and dreading for it to end. Wonderful

We just love that Macgyver! Why there are no longer shows like this, we don't understand. This is the kind of stuff we want to watch. Good clean viewing with a little humor, lots of action, a little romance and good old-fashioned values! Somewhat educational, too. Shows that persons of all ages can watch, without worry, and feel good. The plots are sometimes a bit "corny" or dated, but it's nice to know the good guy will win in the end; we still love to watch! Good job, Richard Dean Anderson! It's nice to finally have these on DVD to watch as we please (like during dinner). Sound, picture and DVD quality were good. DVD's are nicely packaged for protection. Would gladly purchase again!

This is a great set for anyone who enjoyed the show when it was on tv. Theres always lots of fun adventure and it's always a blast seeing all the ways he comes up with getting out of trouble. Sure it has its cheesy or unrealistic moments, but this was the late 80's and they didnt have the special effects they do now and all that doesnt matter anyway, it's just entertainment and it certainly does entertain you. and its definately cheaper for any big fan of the show to purchase this set rather than buying each season individually, I added up the prices of each season at my store and I'd pay at least 50% more if i bought them individually. great value!

This is a great product. Wonderful episodes and no problems with any dvds. All of series was in good condition and played without problems.

These DVD's are awesome. Used to watch the series when I was younger when it was on T.V. It's as good as I remember. The DVD's are packaged just as if you bought each season individually. Each season comes in it's own box and the disc's are in individal cases in each box. The picture quality is great, crisp and clear and just as if it was made in 2010. For a show that 1st aired in 1985, that's incrediable. The digital quality is excellent. I have absolutely not complaints. I recommend this two anyone. Best purchase I ever made!

I was about 9 years when this series came out. I loved it then and I love it now as an adult. Watching it now, I understand some of the things that Macgyver used to do although it still amazes me. The packaging of the DVDs are pretty ok. Picture quality is good. I think that there should have been some more bonus features on the DVDs.

Well, this IS A GREAT SERIES! My kids 11 and under love it. I like it too, but I cannot keep up with their appetite. I think they have gone through about 3 seasons already on Netflix which has ALL SEVEN SEASONS available streaming... so guys and gals, if you are technology oriented and can handle streaming, you could buy this disc set, or pay for about a year of Netflix and have access to their entire library PLUS all seven seasons of McGyver..... you make the choice!

This show is awesome now that I am older and actually understand some of the stuff. It came out when I was a kid and knew nothing. But this show is excellent. All the episodes are somewhat alike, but they always keep you on the edge. Very good episodes each and every one of them. The box set is well worth the price.
