MacGyver (1985)
Maybe I’m the idiot in the room, and even though we laughed at the sculptural R. D. Anderson in middle school because of his naive activist messages, we still watched his escapades overcoming raw brutality through the power of the forester spirit every afternoon. Yes, it's complete bullshit, perhaps also ridiculous and naive, but with a little nostalgia, I am giving 4 stars to a hero who thought twice about using his fists, because even if you have nothing in your hands, you can always build a perpetuum mobile or at least something really useful... After all - isn't "MacGyver" one of the last Mohicans of gentlemen amongst American series? :-))

Pilot (1985) (S01E01)
Oh, the sin of youth, hurrying home to piously watch MacGyver. I laughed a little, but I kind of liked that guy. I really liked him. Because he used his clever brain more than his muscles. An American series production needs fewer renegade Tlamas’ and more thoughtful Andersons. Although, from a pure common sense point of view, his DIY is really crap, right? 4 stars for the nostalgia and ancient love!
