Comparison: MacGyver eating ice cream

[dieastra]

When my friend and I were in Vancouver (to meet Richard Dean Anderson) we recreated the scene from the "MacGyver" opening credits where he eats ice cream in front of the steam clock in gastown. As there is no MacGyver figure we used Jack from "Stargate SG-1" who is also played by RDA.

That's brilliant! Do you watch the new MacGyver? I really like it. I haven't seen very much of the old ones although my sister used to watch it religiously!

Thank you!
No, I have no intention to watch the new one. I have heard many bad things about it.

If you like this, then I am sure you would like the original even more.

It must be re-run sometimes? We get it at least once a year! Yes, it's dated with all this Eighties stuff like huge cell phones (or the computers LOL) but I find it still charming. Richard Dean Anderson brought a lot of himself to the role and I cannot replace him in my mind. I loved that he always shook out his hand after hitting someone, showing that it hurt. Which other hero would do that?

Strangely they do not run old MacGyver episodes here in Canada...no idea why. So for now I have the new one instead and it's fun, crazy and sometimes silly but with all the heavy drama on TV now I don't mind a show like that and it's a nice break to watch something light.
