Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The houseboat is history. In the final season, MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) moves to a loft in an eccentric inner-city neighborhood. The point seems to be to paint the secret agent as less of a loner, but living away from the rest of the world seemed to suit MacGyver better. Fortunately for fans, Mac's ever-enthusiastic buddy, Jack (Bruce McGill), and surprisingly lively nemesis, Murdoc (Michael Des Barres), who faked his death in year six, come back to add a little zest to proceedings that were starting to grow stale (see "Obsessed" and "The Mountain of Youth"). Aside from Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar, now wearing dark glasses due to glaucoma), MacGyver's boss, other recurring characters include Mama Lorraine (Kimberly Scott), a voodoo priestess, and the Colton brothers (Cleavon Little, Richard Lawson, and Cuba Gooding Jr.), who return in "The Coltons," pilot for a series that never materialized (Della Reese, who plays their mother, would have better luck with Touched by and Angel). In addition, Mac's son, Sam (Dalton James), is introduced in "The Stringer," the series' fitting finale. Sadly, Elcar, who also starred in Barretta and Black Sheep Squadron, would pass away in 2005.

Instead of a full season, only 14 episodes were produced for the seventh, including the silly two-parter "Good Knight MacGyver," in which a bump on the noggin transports Mac to Camelot. As he spends more time with the Challengers Club than the Phoenix Foundation, other stories revolve around domestic matters rather than the international crises of yore. Guest stars include Shelley Berman ("Honest Abe"), Wendy Malick ("Obsessed"), Henry Gibson ("Deadly Silents"), and Dick Butkus ("Split Decision"). The final season was followed by two tele-films, an appearance on The Simpsons, and a Super Bowl 2006 MasterCard commercial in which Anderson revived his most famous character. Priceless, indeed. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars Final season reveals how MacGyver can get through the cracks., July 29, 2006

By	P. Burgos "J.D. NASHMAN" (Hanford, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Final season of MacGyver was shortened to 14 episodes as well as the 2 movies that followed in 1994. But since the season was so short at least they had some great episodes in this season.

Episode list.

1.) Honest Abe 9/16/1991
Mac's trip to the airport to pick a friend's father arriving for his grandson's bar mitzvah turns into a wild international caper involving Caribbean terrorists and a stolen helicopter.

2.) The 'Hood 9/23/1991
MacGyver moves into a new part of town after his houseboat was destroyed in a fire. Mac helps rescue one of his new neighbors after she overhears two hit-men planning a job.

3.) Obsessed 9/30/1991
The ghost of his archenemy Murdoc leaves MacGyver sleepless and on edge just as he is about to supervise the security of the criminal trial of a deposed dictator, a task that could determine Pete's continued employment at The Phoenix Foundation.

4.) The Promethus Syndrome 10/7/1991
MacGyver becomes personally involved in the effort to find a psychopathic arsonist who killed one of his friends.

A genealogy investigation and a knock on the head takes Mac back to King Arthur's court, where he must use his knowledge to prove Merlin innocent of harming the King, find the fair Cecilia and foil Morgana's attempt to take over the throne.

8.) Good Knight MacGyver (Part 2 of 2) 11/11/1991
This episode continues the previous when a genealogy investigation and a knock on the head takes Mac back to King Arthur's court, where he must use his knowledge to prove Merlin innocent of harming the King, find the fair Cecilia and foil Morgana's attempt to take over the throne.

9.) Deadly Silents 11/18/1991
Mac tries to help an old silent film star retrieve the only existing prints of his work from a pair of special-effects obsessed fans, who try to catch MacGyver in a deadly trap.

10.) Split Decision 12/2/1991
Mac's friend Earl Dent looks to him for help when he fights to retain custody of his teenage daughter while preparing for a boxing comeback that bookmakers want him to throw.

11.) Gunz 'n Boyz 12/16/1991
Mac and the Challenger Club try to help a boy prepared to take the rap for another boy murdered by weapons dealers exploiting the fear and suspicion in the neighborhood.

12.) Off The Wall 12/30/1991
Mac battles a callous slumlord when a young graffiti artist asks for help when his grandmother faces eviction from the apartment where she's spent her life.

13.) The Stringer 4/25/1992
While taking on the cause of a Chinese dissident on the run, MacGyver is helped by a young photo journalist named Sam. But Macgyver is in for the shock of his life when Sam tells him what his name stands for. It's "Sean Angus Macgyver".....

14.) The Mountain of Youth 5/21/1992
Mac and Jack search for a mythical fountain of youth in a land of paradise and find a tribe of people who live over 150 years old. They discover the tribe could be at risk, since the government has a secret heavy water facility used for nuclear weapon technology.

That completes the MacGyver series although the 2 movies which aired in 1994 are unknown if they will be included but I'd like to see it as well. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed..., August 11, 2006

By	Adam (Franciscan University, Steubenville, OH USA) - See all my reviews

It appears that loyal fans will not get the two Mac movies with this final season, which is of course, a huge disappointment. Given there are only 4 discs and 14 episodes that is about 3-4 episodes per disc, not leaving enough room for the 2 movies. Fer shame paramount, fer shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars So this is the end, July 22, 2006

By	Nico Michel "Matrix Power" (South - Africa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This looks cool can't wait for the set to be released.
Watching this show again on DVD from season one up to season six
was awsome.
I have to ask if this is really the end or will us fans see the release of the two Macguyver tv movies:
Lost Treasure of Atlantis
and
Trail to Doomsday
on DVD soon.

I for one Hope so this will really complete the collection.
Come to think of it they should have added it as two Bonus disk in the final season.
