TV. macgyver season 6

ive always loved macguyver. i remember watching the show when it used to be on, but i was a bit young to remember it very well. i just so happen to be at the used movie place and saw season six of macguyver on the shelf for only ten bucks. well, i figured it was worth ten bucks to relive my childhood a little bit, so i got it. one night, with nothing else to do, i convinced diana to watch an episode with me. i feared that it would be pretty bad and not hold up very well, but i was pleasantly surprised with how fun it was to rewatch all these years later! i know its a bit unconventional to start a show at season six, but thats the only one the movie place had, so thats where we began! one of the things that everyone remembers most about macguyver is how he could get out of anything, or fix anything, with the most random of things! well, by the time they got to season six, they must have used up most of their good ideas, because there isnt much of that in these episodes. theres about once or twice per episode that he needs to get himself out of a jam, but the contraptions are not very intricate or believable. it seems by this point in the series it was more focused on sharing a positive message. the season starts with an episode deriding gang violence, and continues through out the season with episodes dedicated to teen drinking, environmental abuse, and even an episode about glaucoma. the episodes are still a bunch of fun to watch, partly for the 80's flashbacks, and partly because they still tell good stories. well, diana and i enjoyed them so much that we have since picked up season one so we can start from the beginning!
