I loved the original MacGyver, and will give the new version a try!
I haven’t seen any of these shows yet. I remember the original MacGyver, hubby loved that show.
I just finished watching Luke Cage. It was fantastic. I loved Jessica Jones as well. These are all great shows.
Who didn’t love the original MacGyver! So I’ll have to check out the new one of course.
I haven’t heard of these shows. They sound interesting. I didn’t see the original MacGyver but I am looking forward to checking these out!
Haven’t heard of any of these, but what on earth! They made a new updated version of MacGyver? I used to watch that as a kid, so that’s interesting
I’m a fan of the new MacGyver, but the only one on this list I have also seen and watch regularly is Scorpion. I’ll have to check out the others!
I’m familiar with the original MacGyver and was surprised to read of a return. I don’t watch TV as much anymore.
