Storyline
| Plot Summary |
MacGyver is the anti-Bond. He doesn't drink or womanize; and never, ever shoots guns to win battles. He does however - like 007 up against impossible odds - always win: even if in the process it involves being curb-stomped, blown-up, knifed, shot, or sprayed with insecticides. |
