Editorial Review:
MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is a contemporary hero and role model who applies his scientific knowledge to ordinary items to create for himself and others a means of escape from impending doom.
Description of MacGyver - The Complete Final Season:
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
MacGyver - The Complete Final Season Reviews:
Incredible entertainment 
2009-12-01 - The MacGyver series has to be one of the best series on television and I regret that this calibre of script writing is no longer presented to the television audience. The series CD's are truly terrific and some even have a moral to the story.
MacGyver - The Complete Final Season
2009-08-23 - This was a wonderful way to end a television show. I have been looking for Season 7 for quite awhile. I hated to see it end. How about a remake movie now!!! The shows contained in Season 7 don't let you down. You will enjoy the Final Season just as much as you have enjoyed Seasons 1 through 6.
Poignant and Nostalgic
2009-08-01 - Although I purchased seasons 2 - 7 of the MacGyver Series from Amazon as separate purchases for economic reasons (and to be sure I was really going to view them all), I'm electing to let this review cover the entire lot. I started buying these DVD's from Amazon because, having purchased Season 1 in a store, I was unable to find any of the others. I am glad and grateful that indeed Amazon was able to direct me to them at a price I could afford.
My personal opinion is that MacGyver is one of the best shows that ever appeared on TV. My mother and I both enjoyed them tremendously, so much so that we named our Dalmatian dog after the character. The name proved fortuitous, because like the TV hero, the dog survived a fall which really should have killed him! In any event, viewing these videos again has been a poignant and nostalgic experience, but a very delightful one. I have been so blessed by this series of DVD's that I am sharing them with my 13-year-old grandson, and hope that he enjoys them as much as his grandmother and great-grandmother did during their original television presentation.
Love it
