Macgyver (Season 3) DVD Review

           

 

One of the best shows of the 1980s, MacGyver has a dedicated fan base even to this day. Richard Dean Anderson plays the role of MacGyver, a cerebral and charismatic agent of the Phoenix Foundation for Research. A different hero even by the standards of today’s TV series, MacGyver had an exaggerated fear of heights.

He was also a pacifist who never relied on weapons, but instead on the ability to deploy his brain and think his way out of dangerous situations. MacGyver’s boss and the best buddy were Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar). Pete regularly sends MacGyver on missions and oftentimes comes to his rescue (mostly in the moments after MacGyver has saved himself and someone else). MacGyver is also often accompanied by his airplane pilot friend Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill) who constantly gets himself and MacGyver into compromised predicaments with his illegal activities and hair-brained schemes. Along with the usual bad guys, archenemy Murdoc (Michael Des Barres) is MacGyver’s constant nightmare. With something interesting always in the works, there isn’t a boring episode of this fascinating series…

The MacGyver (Season 3) DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the season premiere “Lost Love” in which a woman from MacGyver’s past (a woman he once loved) returns to his life. She also happens to be a known Soviet dissident who begs for his help in aiding her escape from the evil regime. But before MacGyver can help, the KGB kidnaps her and demands a priceless artifact as her ransom, leaving MacGyver as the only man who can save her… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include “The Widowmaker” in which MacGyver mourns the death of his friend at the hands of a former enemy, and “Mask of the Wolf” in which Jack and MacGyver aid in the search for an ancient Indian wolf mask while two mercenaries follow their trail…

Macgyver (DVD) Review

        

 

A unique and different kind of TV action series, MacGyver made its television premiere in the Fall of 1985 to much fanfare. Audiences immediately responded to the title character and his unusual penchant for turning everyday items like chewing gum and paperclips into elaborate life-saving contraptions. In this way, it maintained a slight resemblance to The A-Team, and this recurring plot device helped MacGyver build a strong cult following…

Richard Dean Anderson plays the title role of MacGyver, an energetic employee of the fictional Phoenix Foundation for Research. An unorthodox hero by action series standards, MacGyver has a deadly fear of heights. A pacifist who refuses to use weapons, he relies heavily on his ability to use his brain and tinker with the various materials at his disposal. MacGyver’s best friend and the director of the Phoenix Foundation is Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar). Pete often sends MacGyver on Foundation missions and sometimes comes to his aid (usually after MacGyver has saved the day). In addition, MacGyver is joined on a regular basis by his airplane pilot friend Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill), a man who constantly entangles himself in illegal activities and other troublesome situations. Between the usual slew of bad guys, the vendetta of archenemy Murdoc (Michael Des Barres), and his multitude of troublesome friends, MacGyver is always in the midst of interesting and dangerous events, and the show’s true entertainment value derives from watching MacGyver’s distinctive method of dealing with each one…

The MacGyver DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the series pilot in which MacGyver is forced to race against the clock when a team of scientists is trapped underground after a lab experiment goes awry. Wanting to contain the leak, the Army allows a small time window for MacGyver to pull off his mission before they destroy the facility… Fans will make note of some interesting aspects of the pilot episode such as Dana Elcar’s role as another character, MacGyver’s use of a gun, and MacGyver’s boss is a man named Gantner (Michael Lerner)… Other notable episodes from Season 1 include “Trumbo’s World” in which MacGyver, while on expedition in Brazil, encounters and wages war with a mile-wide column of army ants, and “Every Time She Smiles” in which MacGyver meets up with a beautiful, yet talkative, artist named Penny Parker (Teri Hatcher) and the two must escape the clutches of the KGB…

Macgyver (Season 2) DVD Review

  

 

Far different from the usual television action series, MacGyver premiered in Fall of 1985 to widespread audience acclaim. Fans fell in loves with an action hero who used his brain instead of his brawn to get himself out of jams, and the interesting and elaborate methods deployed by the title character made for interesting water cooler talk. These unorthodox escape plans were very similar to The A-Team, another popular 80s action series. Overall, the first several seasons of MacGyver are the best…

The MacGyver (Season 2) DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the season premiere “The Human Factor” in which MacGyver and the Phoenix Foundation are called upon to test the security of a top-secret military installation. When MacGyver makes a bet with the security designer, Dr. Jill Ludlum, he successfully gains entry, but the automated system traps them both inside (with a dwindling supply of oxygen) where they’re forced to race for their lives against a ticking clock… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “The Road Not Taken” in which MacGyver encounters his former fiancée while helping a nun, and “Birth Day” in which MacGyver must guard a pregnant woman from her husband, who’s out to kill her…

Some few winters ago I was in a doctor’s office with my wife, who was there for a back ache assessment. During that period I had chapped lips and had requested if the doctor had some lip balm.

Taking one quick look at me, the doctor informed me that my diet has to do with the present condition of my lips. And she explained that taking proper nutritious diets and fluids would prevent chapped lips. This surprised me, but I gave it a shot.

I have stopped using lip balms and my chapped lips are gone. The doctor’s method though sounds bizarre, but it surely worked. And if can work on the lips, it means it can also be applied to the skin.

One fact most people don’t know is that some substance the food we eat are excretes back through the skin pores, and this should make us realize that acne diets are crucial for some persons and that foods such as snacks, that contains high fat and grease are the precursors of acne breakouts.
