MacGyver's second season begins by following the same blueprint as the first (although the opening gambit is gone). Richard Dean Anderson is back as the eponymous secret agent. So is Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar), operations director of the Phoenix Foundation. In addition, Mac's ditzy pal, Penny (Teri Hatcher), and beloved grandfather, Harry (John Anderson), return for a few episodes. In the season premiere ("The Human Factor"), a skeptical military man says to Thornton, "So this is your main guy. He doesn't even have any gear." Responds Thornton, "That's what makes him so special." As before, Mac doesn't drink, smoke, or carry a firearm. He puts it plainly in the fourth episode ("The Wish Child"): "I hate guns." Mac would rather use non-violent means, i.e. "MacGyverisms," to fight crime. Midway through the 22-episode year, however, creator Lee David Zlotoff (Remington Steele) decided to shake up the formula by introducing two new characters. First there's Mac's college buddy, Jack Dalton (busy character actor Bruce McGill from Animal House, The Cinderella Man, etc.), who makes his first appearance in the sixth episode ("Jack of Lies"). Then there's Mac's arch-nemesis Murdoc (actor/musician Michael Des Barres from Melrose Place), who makes his in the eighteenth ("Partners").

Other notable second season guest stars include Fast Times At Ridgemont High's Vincent Schiavelli ("Soft Touch"), Murphy Brown's Robert Pastorelli ("Out in the Cold"), and Star Trek's George Takei and Wayne's World's Tia Carrere ("The Wish Child"). MacGyver also had a tendency to bring back actors from previous seasons for different roles. Second year returnees include Mean Streets' Richard Romanus ("Twice Stung"), Barney Miller's Gregory Sierra ("Jack of Lies"), and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Nana Visitor ("D.O.A. MacGyver"). As with the first season, there are no extras. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Review of MacGyver - The Complete Second Season
MacGyver
I enjoy the entire series - it's exciting, inventive, and I wish there were more!

It is what it is...
Loyalty is what really keeps people coming back to MacGyver. It has been fifteen years since MacGyver ended his 7 season run and I still love the show. I recognize that it is campy (just ask MSN), the plot is often thin and the way that items show up just perfect for MacGyver's use is...well, predictable. However, even though this is a formula show, I would guess that, just as with me, many people love and watch this show because of the memories surrounding watching the original broadcasts. I wasn't able to get into the first few seasons when it originally aired as I was only 3 years old. But I do remember that on Monday nights I got to stay up late so that I could watch MacGyver with my Dad, who would remark at every commercial break, "MacGyver's a dead man." Simple memories like this make me want to continue to watch this show. It is this same loyalty and memory that allows me to give this show three stars. I have no intention of telling anyone that this show is masterful in its acting, directing or plot, it is often silly. I know that the show is sometimes stupid, but as someone that can't turn on the TV anymore because the current programming saddens me, I long for the campy shows of just a few years ago. The entertainment value of the show builds this show up. My own roommate will only watch the show when I'm watching it. Mostly so he can make fun of it, but it also is entertaining him. MacGyver will remain on my shelves. Hopefully, there will come a day when I'll be able to watch it with people that won't "Waa Waa" (trumpet sound) the silly acting, the strange villains and impossible scenarios and will just enjoy it as it was meant to be enjoyed, as an entertaining show of the mid-late 80s and early 90s.

A great gift
My daughter was a real fan of McGyver in her youth. Now that she is one of those people that has everything, it worked really well as a Christmas gift. She liked it very much and was wholesome enough so that she could share it with her young sons.
