God I love this show

This is one of the greatest shows ever. Every guy would love this show. How can you beat it. Its a secret agent that builds all his gadgets from stuff he finds. Although, some of the lessons and morals and plot lines are a little cheesy, alot of the action and other stuff is just unbelievably great. perfect. I wish it was still on tv.
