MacGyver Mastercard Super Bowl Ad

I was checking up on digg.com like I always do and came across a MacGyver Mastercard Super Bowl Ad. It starts off with Mac tied to a chair with a bomb counting down behind him. He breaks out of the rope using a pine tree air freshener which cost $1.29 on debit Mastercard. Then he slides down a rip cord using a tube sock that cost $4. And then finally hotwires a truck using a paperclip, ball point pen, rubber band, tweezers, nasal spray and a turkey baster which cost $14. The little things that get you through the day: PRICELESS. It was great seeing Richard Dean Anderson return to the character that lots of people know and love.

 

MacGyver Actor Dead At 77

Dana Elcar, who played Peter Thornton on the show MacGyver, died last monday (June 7, 2005) of complications from pneumonia at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura. He was 77. I just heard about it today when I was going through some of the RSS feeds I subscribe to. It really is quite sad to see him go. I am a big fan of MacGyver so it would sadden me to see any of the regulars on the show pass away.

 

MacGyver Second Season On DVD

MacGyver – The Complete Second Season came out today and I just had to pick it up to go along with the copy of MacGyver – The Complete First Season I have. While I was creating this post, I found out Amazon.com already has MacGyver – The Complete Third Season listed. According to Amazon.com, the third season is scheduled to come out on September 6, 2005, the day after Labor Day. It seems like they’re coming out with a season every 4 months or so. That means I should have all seven seasons by the end of 2006.
